Used 1998 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
Get the V6!!
I bought my camry used in 02 with 54k already on it. I've added 40k miles cross country and up and down the East coast. The water pump broke at about 70k miles and took out the timing belt ($400 to repair), but otherwise I've not had any problems. I'd definitely buy the V6 - mine's a 4-cylinder and is fine for regular driving but doesn't have much of any reserves of power when you need it. I find the seats very comfortable and I love the interior layout. The fuel economy is great, too - I can go over 500 miles on one tank on the highway (I've gotten as much as 33 mpg).
BEST CAR I HAVE OWNED YET
This car is a dream compared to other cars i have owned and operated. The 4 cylinder engine in my Camry blows away the V6 I had in my Ford Taurus. The car handles the road and turns very well, has a very smooth ride. The built-in CD player is great and the sound system very nice. I have driven the car for 35,000 miles so far and besides having had the oil changed every 5,000 miles and replacing the brakes, no problems at all. I believe I am hooked on the Camrys for life. Next time, I may try out the V6 Camry, not that it is even necessary, because my 4 cylinder kicks the butt of most V6's out there anyway. But more power is never a bad thing.

Totally Awesome
227,000 miles. Never dreamed I would be driving a car with this many miles, but now I am. I have had a Corolla, Vibe (Matrix), and now this Camry and love them all. I bought it last November and planned to drive it as a beater until I could afford to get something else, but i love it too much to get rid of it. Highly recommend this car to anyone who needs room, quality, and good gas mileage. Keep up the good work, Toyota!! I am one of your greatest fans.
Love my old Camry
I have been looking for a new car for almost a year now, and can't justify getting rid of my 1998 camry. I really love it. I know with all the miles I have on it, I will need to do something. Major thing was cat- converter and that was just recently. The V6 is quiet and drives great. Mileage is fine. Never though I would keep this car for 12 years and not want to get rid of it after 12 years.
Pretty fair automobile
From an engineer eyed perspectice, every detail in the car is visibly designed from deploying people needs, no fancy or costmetic things, real needs in comfort and safe aspects. Mechanic design is simple to handle and construction is realiable.
