Nice, soft riding and soft handling car that is very reliable, very dull. Good space for family; seats are not as comfortable as they should be.

2003 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
Bought brand new and haven't regretted it. 105000 miles and just tires & brakes. Car still looks great and build quality is excellent. Would love to but a new car but don't want a note and really no reason to get rid of it. Still has lots of life left.

2003 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I inherited this car a few months back, literally owned by a little old man. Four cylinder is sluggish from the start, but comes alive once it is rolling. Transmission seems well suited to make the most of 2.4 liters. Body style and interior are plain but functional. Actually, the body style grew on me.
Favorite Features
Quiet ride, even at high highway speeds. This may be partly due to the tires, Goodyear Assurance. These tires never squeal, even when pushed hard in exit ramps. Stereo has plenty of punch for me. The car just has a proper solid feel.
Suggested Improvements
Perhaps moving up to a 16 or 17 inch rim with a lower profile tire would further help handling, but I believe the models with alloy wheels take care of that.
90K and still chirp'n into 3rd

Review
I rock dark tints all around, even the windshield has a light tint, the car's white and I keep it clean. It looks like a Camry, it is what it is. I bought it because it has the best resale value and is dependable, what else do you buy a Camry for? You want to be bad, buy a Ducati.
Favorite Features
I love the light steering!!
Suggested Improvements
I have no complaints other than the alignment goes bad quickly, and the shocks are a little floaty at speed.
One of the most reliable cars out there!
