Still running strong despite ME!

Review

I have really enjoyed this car. Nice blend of qualities rather than strong in one area. Performs great, looks fine, comfortable. The V6 has enough power to be fun but it can't beat a Ferrari! Well, I did once probably because my friends and I just scared the dude! LOL!

Favorite Features

Simple but reliable.

Suggested Improvements

None. It is what it is. A well built sedan with a bit of punch.

Low cost, low maintenance

Review

I always keep my cars 100k and longer. This is the first Toyota I've bought and the first time to own a car that is low cost to maintain. Very little goes wrong. With the energy crunch, I've lowered my speed to 60-65 and my mileage has gone from 30mpg on the hwy to 35mpg hwy. It has always maintained 24-25mpg in town. My only complaints are: the headlights; I've changed the relay a few times but their light intensity is still weak; 2. Seating comfort: I'm tall and thin and I feel like I'm sitting on a park bench. Compared to an American car, the comfort level is inferior. Maybe the newer models are better with this. The low maint. and repair cost outweigh this issue.

Favorite Features

low repair demands; high fuel efficiency

Suggested Improvements

Make seating more comfortable; improve headlights; make steering easier; raise undercarriage - I often hit speed bumps even when crawling over them.

Camry lives up to reputation

Review

This car runs better now than when it had 20,000 miles. It held its value and I am always being asked if I want to sell it and I can't let it go yet anyway. Great bang for the buck especially in this economy. Buy one you'll love it; this 4 cylinder blows away many American 4 and 6 cyl of the same year. You wont regret it.

Favorite Features

comfort at high speeds, gas mileage, it's a Toyota

Suggested Improvements

Body style could be more aggressive but it's better looking than the replacement that came in 2002.

My experience: it is a junk car

Review

I bought Toyota Camry in 1999. It ran ok in the first 5 years. Then I had to fix it at least twice a year (not including service or oil change). In average I spent $1500 on repair each year. I only drove 11000 miles and have changed most of stuff in the car already. Finally, I decided to sell this car. I really should have sold it earlier. I will never buy from Toyota anymore.

Review

Gave to our son 2 years ago for College use. Gave another 1999 Camry XLE car to our daughter. Both have very low maintenance, 28 Hwy mpg, 24 city 4-cyl. Very reliable. Only issue with both cars is the low exhaust pipe clearance over the bumps. Suspension system had to be changed in about 2006.

Favorite Features

Mileage, reliability and comfort.

Suggested Improvements

Increase the ground clearance of the exhaust system & increase the stiffness of suspension system so you get a little sportier ride and the system lasts longer (hopefully).

Review

I bought the car in 1999. It was new. Since then I just once changed brakes and two times the battery, of course tires. That's it! I love my car. I'll give it to my daughter when she gets her driver license in October and feel she's in a good "hands".

Favorite Features

It's fast, easy to drive.

Suggested Improvements

I would like the inside more fancy.

Review

I absolutely love my Camry. It is very reliable and comfortable. I bought it used with 70k on it and it's been going with no problems since. I now have 175k with zero problems.

Favorite Features

The acceleration is excellent. The car is not too big and not too small. It is SO reliable!

Suggested Improvements

The cd player skips when I apply the brakes. The steering wheel squeaks when I turn it.

This is Toyota, What more we need?

Review

Bought this used car at 111K for $4.15K as my second car for wife's schooling. The previous driver is a student, never did the services correctly, I did the 90K service and timing belt change, etc. Changed 4 tires. Now still needs to get all the suspension system (approx $15K) replacement. In any event, Toyota is pretty smooth, quiet and reliable. It will never die on you if you take any sort of reasonable care. I trust Toyota, I trust my car.

Favorite Features

Smooth, quiet ride, nice mileage, interior room, their tweeter pair of speakers next to mirrors for more treble.

Suggested Improvements

The plastic attached to the bumper (between bumper and the hood with Toyota emblem) is real cheap. The interior styling could be a lot better (which was done in the later models). Also the colors must be available in two tone for all models, I love two tone colors

Review

I bought this road marvel as a replacement for a 2005 Kia Spectra EX, that had a host of problems on it. I have loved this car ever since I bought it. It gives me great gas mileage & the engine runs so smooth and quiet that you cannot even hear it when stopped for traffic. It had a smooth-drive suspension system before they got all worn out. Today, there is a problem with my tyres that gives me less than 30 mpg overall. I used to get an average of 33 mpg (combined mileage) but these days even 25 mpg is a miracle! I was advised that there is something wrong with my tyres, alignment, balancing or something like that and once I get it fixed, it's gonna b okay!

Favorite Features

ABS, which gives me better control of the car during hard breaking in snowy/icy weather. Auto-on-off headlight feature is an added bonus since it eliminates having to forget to turn off your car lights. DRL are also an added safety feature. The car's overall roominess is also great!

Suggested Improvements

I would suggest that the car be given increased horsepower since the car's 2.2L I4 engine should be able to discharge more than a mere 134 max horsepower! Shifting is noticeable and for a car that drives so smooth and has soft suspension, there shouldn't be any jerks when the gear shifts
