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.

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW OVER 5 YEARS AGO AND HAVE 110,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR IN FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE AND HAVE NEVER BEEN DISSAPOINTED BY MY TOYOTA. I WILL ONLY PURCHASE TOYOTA IN THE FUTURE.

We've had our Camry for 17 months. It starts up and purrs every day exactly the same. It handles nicely, holds the road in turns and pulls easily in and out of parking spaces. The engine is smooth and acceleration is great. In fact, the engine is so quiet that at stop lights my daughter thought I had turned the car off! We've yet to have a single problem with the engine or drive train of this car.

My car was bought in 2003 while I was college. I still have the car. My husband and I both drive the car. It's not sporty but you can definitely depend on it. The only major repair was to only replace the transmission, but at 185,000 miles I didn't complain. Now at 201,000 miles, it continues to run strong.
