Interesting - I had very similar thoughts when I rented a Camry a while back. I was surprised that I didn't hate it more - but not surprised that it was one of the worse cars I had ever driven (modern cars anyway - no point comparing it to our 1930 Model A - LOL)

Still - as much as I did not like it, I could see how they sold tons of them. While I didn't like the car - it was like driving the automotive equivalent of an electric toaster. It wasn't there to be exciting - just get you from point to point in reasonable comfort. And it did that ok.

The other thing was that it handled the snow really well (I had it in Detroit in January). For that - I have to give it credit.

Other than that - I am happy driving older cars that actually make me smile. Even if I have to put up with some problems in doing so.
