I’m helping my sister research cars. She learned to drive in her teens but hasn’t had a car for more than a decade, so this is like her first vehicle. Is a Toyota Camry a good first car?
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Yes, the Toyota Camry is a good first car. It’s safe, reliable, and easy to drive.
Toyota has a strong reputation for making reliable vehicles, and the Camry is no exception. It’s near the top of the list of most reliable mid-size cars of all time.
This car has excellent driver-assist features which can help new drivers in emergencies. Best of all, the Camry is cheap to maintain. There are even hybrid trims that can decrease the cost of ownership even further!
