90000 miles now, no major problems. A
couple of oil leaks at the oil pan and
valve cover, a steering leak in the
rack and pinion. Steering very
responsive, excellent gas mileage. 21
city, usually 30+ hwy even at an
average of 80 mph! Fairly cheap
insurance, very cold a/c even on the
lowest setting. Just put on new brakes
and rotors at a cost of $180. Only
mechanical problem is the parking brake
light on the instrument panel stays on
sometimes. Front wheel drive makes it
easy through the snow too.

Drove it 4300 miles in six days after 9/11
ferrying emergency personel for government
organization. Averaged over 700 miles a
day. Stopped only to change oil. Never a
problem. This is fifth Toyota in our
family since 1968. Wife still drives
1988 Corolla and swears by it.

Had this car for almost a year now and
reads 98,000mi on it with no problems
whatsoever. Just replaced the timing
belt. there is a whining sound on the
wheels that I don't seem to
understand. The dealer said that the
wheel bearing work fine and I replaced
four new tires, and still the whining
is still there. I compared it to my
wife's Solara and she doesnt has this
problem in her car.but like other
consumers, engine is very
quiet,strong, responsive and similar
to the ES300, and the earlier Avalon
models, if I am not mistaken.
Excellent performance on the freeway.
I never get tired of driving this car
and I plan to keep this car forever!

well...i bought my camry in 1999 which
had 62k miles..and now has 117k miles..
i had no problems at all with this car
for all this time...its so amazing...
since i work as a auto wholesale, i see
lots of cars with better looks and feel
than this camry....but with no regrets,
i am staying with my camry...with this
much mileage, i'm thinking about
hooking the car up a little...I used to
love the looks of the car, but now...it
just looks so boring...either way, its
one of the best cars out there~

I purchased this car a little over a
year ago, and it has been an absolute
joy to drive. Right now, the odometer
reads 124,000 miles, and it looks,
rides, and drives like it has 50,000
miles. As far as problems, there have
been none except for a bad speaker.
All maintenance has been performed on
time. By the way, the oil sludge
problem is highly overrated. There is
an 8 year / unlimited mile warranty on
suspect engines. Toyota has gone out
of their way to ensure customer
satisfaction. As far as the whiners
who submit reviews, GET OVER IT. Cars
cost money to maintain. The Camry is
no exception. However, it has cost
less than most cars on the market.

If you are like me, I was torn between
the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry.
Both are very good cars, and you can't
go wrong with either (probably). But
the Accord is a bit more of a driver's
car, it's handling a little stiffer and
it's motor a little peppier (and a
little noisier). Camry has a very
smooth ride and is very quiet inside
too. Camry owners have experienced some
engine oil (sludge) problems, so if you
choose an older model Camry, look
inside the valve cover with a
flashlight to look for black sludge.
Also strut mount failures. You are
looking at $250 per strut to fix!

This car rides nice, and I love the
design. They are extremely dependable,
and are easy cars to take car of. Keep
the oil changed and it will last you a
life time.
