nurey: Well u may be right to some extent. The Avensis was built like an European car, especially the interior and dash, looks more like a VW passat. But the driving doesn't feel anyway like the German car they tried to copy. Good thing they added an immobiliser though, I really don't know why Toyota didn't add that in the base and Le trims of 2002-2006 camry and that is why they are easy to steal. |

abatically: Camry does have fog lights, only the LE north american variant doesn't. Camry started offering fog lights in 2002. But you are giving this guy a good argument, well done. Avensis and Camry are not in the same league at all. |

Fulaman198:FYI the 02-06 Camry has always had foglights as an option regardless of trim and spec. Now comparing features on trim, tell me what edge an 05 camry has over an Avensis of same year Give me a better argument. |

Op I have seen that camry infact lots of them with check engine light and they are still going strong and have been driven for years with that issue but when I see an avensis in mecho workshop it has been for body part replacement or repainting but I believe the engine is very reliable now there is an engine variant of that camry that is trouble ANYONE who knows shud help the op out. Also V6 engines kinda give mecho headaches and the camry has a V6 variant. Now op both cars maintenance will almost be the same as the difference will be negligible what remains now is which one you fancy and go for it, just ensure you buy a clean ride and call us for car warming ceremony best of luck bro |

ko nurey:Methinks its the 03 Camry (and i4 highlander) that has the engine issue. Bolts coming off engine block. Dunno the engine spec. Toyota resolved that in the 04-06 variants. |

@OP, both are good cars but you have to beware of 2AF-FE engine fixed to That model of Camry and some 2005 Avensis. The engine has a peculiar issue which has been widely reported. Personally, I will go with Avensis with 1AF-FE 2.0L engine. Very rugged, durable and prestigious. Which ever one you choose, avoid 2AF-FE engine. If you prefer Camry, consider the V6 option. Let us know your decision. 2 Likes |

Raymie: Headbolts issue is very rare where they strip off. It's important to do your oil changes at the right intervals and all other maintenance |

Fulaman198: Which engine is allegedly prone to stripped head bolts? I'm Just wondering if this is more due to poor maintenance, as I have not come across this issue, despite being contracted to Toyota UK as a Diagnostic Technician. 1 Like |

I own and have driven the 02-06 camry. I have equally driven the avensis (06) model. The camry is roomier and has a better pull. Maintenance is same for both cars. Both have bullet proof engines from Toyota. However, if you like fiddling with knobs and buttons, then u might prefer the avensis. The avensis also has dual air conditioning controls in that the passenger can independently regulate his air conditioning setting. The avensis with the D4D engine can match a camry for pull though. The avensis also has a stiffer suspension setting unlike the camry which has a softer spring and suspension setting. There is nothing sporty about the two cars. Both are extremely heavy underpowered sedans. Their weight to power ratio is nothing to write home about. The stripped head bolt issue in the camry was restricted to a batch of engines made in 2003. It was an isolated case. In all though, I like the looks of the avensis and it's suspension setting but I prefer the roomy interior of the camry, bigger boot space and it's higher ground clearance. 2 Likes |

...Kai... that big for nothing car is so ugly, not good for a young and fashionable person at all. I will chose the Avensis even without engine, I prefer to be looking at the body shape rather than drive that ugly big for nothing car. 1 Like |

I have always admired the aesthetics of the Avensis. interior and bodily beauty dusts the Camry. I infact , often thought the Avensis was between the Camry and the avalon . personally, I would go for the Avensis over and over again. |

Another thing the North American XLE 02-06 Camry has is the wonderful JBL sound system (though the standard sound system is very good as well). I don't agree with what someone said earlier about the engine being underpowered, it's far from it. It's actually quite powerful. The V6 especially is pretty powerful and is used in the Lexus ES (The Camry's twin brother car), the Highlander, and the Lexus RX300/330. |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by Nobody: 9:42pm On Jan 05, 2015 |
Fulaman198: The optional JBL audio system is awesome, the standard issue audio system is crap. Have you heard it play in a Highlander (A camry wagon)? You need to hear and compare between a JBL and a standard issue audio setup (which is utterly rubbish compared to Honda's standard audio setup) so you can hate the evil behind this ish called 'trim levels' and 'optional extras' for its discriminatory. ![]() |

lomomike: I don't know I've heard both the JBL and non-JBL in the Camry of 02 - 06. I didn't notice much of a difference. Both had heavy bass as if there was some kind of subwoofer in them. |

Guys, In terms of engine,which one generate more power & torque.camry / Avensis |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by Nobody: 6:37am On Jan 06, 2015 |
shopy: A camry have bigger engine options. The 2005 model Camry SE V6 has a 3.3L V6 rated at 230hp and 242ib-ft, while the 2005 Camry LE and XLE V6 has a 3.0L V6 which churns out 190hp and 193ib-ft. These engines are torquey and powerful for those model years. 1 Like |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by Fulaman198(m): 8:10am On Jan 06, 2015 |
lomomike: 100% correct. Though I think the 3.0 V6 was 192 hp and 209 lbs of torque for the 2002-04 models. http://www.cars.com/toyota/camry/2002/specifications/?acode=USB20TOC021D0 |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by 9icetoo(m): 1:17pm On Jan 06, 2015 |
Fulaman198:I was referring to the 4 cylinder i4 (2azfe). For an engine of its size (2.4L) it's output 156 hp is pretty poor. The torque is quite comparable to engines of its size however a honda of same engine size delivers more hp. That jbl sound system sounds amazing if you have ever listened to the sound output of other regular sound systems. It sounds rich. 1 Like |

9icetoo: For an engine produced since 2001 till date, that engine is powerful enough to take a camry, avensis, corolla. However, its underpowered for a highlander. Do you know that engine is a tuners delight? |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by shopy: 10:56pm On Jan 06, 2015 |

Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by nurey(m): 8:15am On Jan 07, 2015 |
shopy: Op seems you want to buy a car for racing better focus on buying a bugatti veyron. The camry has a 6 cylinder variant which has more horse power than the avensis but the 4 cylinder avensis has more horse power than the 4 cylinder camry as stated with all the clarification and information given I don't expect you not to have known your choice. |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by abatically(m): 8:53am On Jan 07, 2015 |
nurey: Nope, the 4 cylinder avensis is not as powerful as the 4 cylinder Camry. The 2.4L version of the avensis is very scarce to get as only limited number were made, what u get most is the 2.0L version. Even though the 2.4L version has about 5 more hp than the corresponding Camry, the Camry is still faster. The avensis is as slow as hell, 0-60 at 9.2 seconds is not acceptable for such a small sedan. 1 Like |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by 9icetoo(m): 11:37am On Jan 07, 2015 |
Op, either you go for the V6 version of the camry or yor you go for the 175 hp turbo diesel (D4D) version of the avensis. Both will give u plenty of power and a bit of luxury. |
Re: Avensis 2005 Vs Camry 2005 Which One Is Better by Fulaman198(m): 4:14pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
9icetoo: It's 157 HP and 162lbs/ft of torque. The similar generation Accord 4 cylinder had 4 more horsepower and the same torque so what do you mean that it was underpowered with a 0-60 time of 8.5 seconds, it wasn't too bad |
