If you have computer, you can find the specs for MPG and horsepower at the
Toyota website. Some other car websites (like those with the obnoxious
commercials) may give 0-60 times for each engine. If Consumer Reports has
reviewed the new Camry, you can get some information from them (available in
most libraries).

In 98% of the situations you will encounter the 4 cyl will be fine. I have
an older 88 Camry
4 cyl/auto 212K miles It will run 80+ all day long if you so desire

Depending on what's your objective. If you don't care much about
money, definitely everything comes with a V6 will give you a better
feel. However, there is a price to pay, gas is more expensive, gas
mileage is lower, replacement part is more expensive (e.g. H rated
tires), harder to work with yourself (replacing spark plug is a
difficult task).

The Camry does a lot of things very well, but "kicking butt" is not one
of them.
It is a sedan, not a sports car, no matter what engine Toyota put in there.

A '95 6-cyl and a '00 4-cyl are parked in my garage. Both are
reliable. The 6-cyl is by far more expensive to maintain and
operate. A simple oil change illustrates the difference:
The 6-cyl filter inevitable drools oil over itself, while the 4-cyl
not a drop. Then the 6-cyl requires 5 quarts of oil versus
3.6 for the 4-cyl. Similar story for spark plug changes.
Do yourself and the planet a favor. Buy the 4-cyl.

Funny you should say that. I have an '89 an a '99, both 4-cyl and they
both 'drool' when I change the oil. However, I have never had a
problem with the get up and go of either vehicle. I owned a '96 Malibu
6 cyl and there was no noticable difference between it and the '99
4cyl. Go with the 4.

You do NOT have to replace the 6's tires with H rated tires..unless you
travel over 117 mph. Paying to have the plugs replaced would happen seldom
as the change interval is so long, so THAT argument doesn't work.

Nope. I have a 99 SIX. Next Camry I buy will be a 2014 SIX. No question.
That 99 SIX was the best car buying decision I have ever made. Yes, I tried
out the 4. The extra power was a minor part of the decision to buy the 6.
The six has larger wheels, a stronger suspension, better ride etc etc..

Well, compared to a MALIBU, the Camry 4 rocks.

I'm happy with my 2007 camry 4 cylinder. If you don't need to drive
in insane high speed traffic, then go with the 4. The only complaint
with the 4cyl CE I currently have is that the transmission downshifts
too soon when using cruise control going up a hill. Is this something
that can be adjusted?

Price is another factor to consider... you don't get a lot more bang
for the extra $ you're spending.
