Used 1999 Toyota Camry Sedan Consumer Reviews
1999 Camry LE
I had previously owned a '91 Camry, so I convinced my wife, and dedicated American car company customer, to drive a '99 when she needed another car. She was hooked in about 30 seconds. We spent an afternoon driving '99 Camry's, and she wouldn't even consider another car after that. We had driven such cars as the Saturn L series and Pontiac GrandAm. She was set on one of them, but after driving the Camry, they weren't even a consideration! We even drove the Nissan Maxima and the Honda Accord, and she strongly preferred the Camry.
I Love This Car
We bought the Camry to facilitate the needs of our four driver family. I think I got a good deal on it because it had been sitting on their lot for a couple months and was not moving because it's a manual 5 speed. I made a low bid and they called me back a month later. I can't believe how much I love this car. It's simply the best car I've ever owned and drives like a dream. The only thing I can compare it to is the BMW 320i I test drove 25 years ago. I loved my old Saab 99 but I think this even surpasses it. The previous owner mounted 16" 5 spoke wheels and Michelin 16/55/215 tires. It corners like it's on rails and the 4 cyl engine is very quick and gave 31 mpg on the last fill up.
Poor reliability
After driving for 3 years+ and around 38K Mileage. I have to fix: 1) Car paints 2) Air flow sensor 3) Air fuel sensor 4) Oxygen sensor 5) Engine control unit and the last 3 part happened in two months after the 36000 mile coverage expired. It cost me R600+ to fix the above problem. I doubt Toyota is that reliable as it claimed.
BEST CAR EVER OWNED
THE BEST HANDLING CAR IVE EVER OWNED
dependability
I bought this car brand new. It's has been very good on gas, reliability, good performance overall. It's a 5 speed so I do get good mileage.
