Noise Camry 4 cyl vs 6 cyl

Try out a 4, I think you will be happy

My 2000 Camry 4cyl with 3 people aboard and AC on does not lose power going over the rolling hills here in Texas. If I get behind slow traffic half way up a hill, I can go around and accelerate up the hill, not breaknecking but adequate and always quiet. The 06' 4cyl has a few more HP.

-HTH

I'll second that for my '02 4-cyl Camry. Plenty of power, and 33 miles per gallon. But - it IS very noisy (especially when its cold outside). And it is getting a little noisier every year.

Clackety clackety clackety clack....

My 99 Camry SIX is quiet. Always has been. Time for you to move on up.

Hoo hoo,

My '94 6-cyl has a little lifter noise when cold at idle, but snarls at the opposition when planting the foot at the lights. I run it on 98 octane.

It's such fun. I allow myself one antisocial moment each week. I got beaten by a Subaru WRX but that was the only time.

Probably wouldn't affect you, but my primary affection for the four cylinder is easier access for mechanical work - valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, etc. If you're going to do your own maintenance work it does make a difference.

The '06 four cylinder Camry has larger displacement plus variable valve timing which adds power and smoothness beyond what the older Corolla had. Drive both and select your preference. The six will always have more power.

Agreed. I wouldn't attempt to change the plugs on my six.

Airport ???

Qed.

At the local petrol station (gas station to you ;-] )
