Sadly, manual gearbox is no longer available with the V6 on Camry or Solara (not that the stick in either car makes it vastly more exciting to drive...just a lot quicker). 2001 was the final year for the V6/stick combo on the Camry, and 2002 for the Solara.

Too bad, too, since in the past year Toyota has unveiled its buttery smooth and powerful 3.3 Litre 3MZ-FE, which--backed by a limp-shifting, econo-minded slushbox--only posts mid-15's in the Camry & Solara. Nothing like being denied access to a great engine.

Camry is certainly a great all-around car if you think you can stand the anonymity and don't mind the floaty ride. But don't come looking for excitement unless it involves 3 pedals on the floor and a set of Eibach's and Tokico's.
