The 1997 Camary XLE V6 is a great car

I bought my 1997 Camry brand new, and have had no problems out of it. I have 115,000 miles on it and it just had it's first tune up. The orginaly brakes and battery lasted until 90,000 miles noone could believe it. I have had some problems recently with the car smoking some, but we just switched to synthetic oil and I believe that could be the problem. It has been a great car.

Always taught - buy new if you can and keep them until they can travel no more. My Camry still gets 32 mpg on the hwy and 24 in the city.

We baught this car new and it has been a great car. We like the performance of the 4 cylender engine and the great gas milage. I was suprised at the power of the 4! It is very comfortable to drive. I am 6'2" and 220 lbs. and my wife is 5'2" and petite so it was had finding a car to match both of us. This is our 2nd Camry and we plan on buying another one when the time comes.

Transmissions in 1997 models

This is the 5th Toyota that I have owned. I have always gotten at least 8 years of service from each. In this 1997 Camry, I have had to replace the power switch in the driver's door, and now my transmission is going. It is hard to believe that I am not going to get my usual 200,000 miles out of a Toyota.
