Camry or Calais for reliability?

Asked by Len Fry

I'm in my late-60s and the next vehicle I purchase could very well be my last so I don't want to make a mistake. My priorities are safety, comfort, a large boot and adequate power for highway overtaking. Based partly on advice you have given in the past I had all but settled on a Toyota Camry Atara SL, but recently I have been drawn towards a Holden Calais V. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Both cars meet all of your requirements, they have 5-star safety, they're comfortable, have a large boot, and plenty of power for overtaking. Either one would be a good choice, but if I were to be making the selection it would be the Toyota for reliability and resale.
