Our 6-foot test driver slipped easily into the Camry LE Wagon when the steering wheel was raised. Once in the cockpit, he found a comfortable seat that provided good visibility and a surprising sense of spaciousness for a midsize vehicle.Overall, the dash looked well engineered. Controls weren't jammed into comers or hidden out of sight. The only feature we did have a problem locating was the hood release. After consulting the owner's manual, we finally found it under the parking brake.
The driver's seat could be adjusted front to back with a lever, and there were knobs to adjust the lower torso support. The driver's seat reclined further than most wagons we tested. It also sat back a bit and offered plenty of headroom.
The backseat was comfortable enough for three people and, with 34.7-inches of legroom, a tag person wouldn't have to worry about feeling cramped. The 60/40 seat transition was easily accomplished with a touch of a button, leaving plenty of space for long, oversized cargo.
There were several well-thought-out safety features, such as hefty, velour-covered support posts, childproof rear door locks and backseat three-point seat belts.
