Used 1999 Toyota Camry Sedan Consumer Reviews
great first car
I got the 5-speed V6 version of the Camry used with 45k on it... having put nearly 20k on it myself in a little more than a year, I've only had to replace the front brake pads and a tie rod. It's a great car, looks good in dark blue with the alloy wheels. The engine is smooth and quiet below 3k rpm but above 4 it starts making a nice sound and a lot of power. Only problems are a bad shifter, a tacky pattern on the seats and the suspension, which could be a little bit tighter.
Workhorse !
We've really enjoyed this car...it has provided years of trouble-free driving. We test drove the 4 cylinder and it was pretty good for a 4, but the 6 is just perfect.
Great Value
The car is highly reliable. I have had no major problems with it at all. Not even minor ones like power doors not workig. I have driven it almost 15K miles a year and it has performed without a hitch. The 2.2L 4-cyl. engine is a bit low powered especially if you have to accelerate quickly or if you have the full complement of 5 occupants. For most normal uses that I have put it to this has not been much of a problem. The mileage provided is excellent ( 30 mi. per gallon on freeways). This car is great for someone who wants their car to retain value. After 5 yrs my car still commands almost half its buying price with options. Overall highly recommended.
Fine Car
My wife and I bought this car almost three years ago now used. We love it, it is a very good and reliable car, never have any problems at all. Typical Toyota reliability, and preformance, I woudl recommend this car to everyone. If you are able to find one the manuals are great, not as smooth as our other car, a honda, but still shifts well we have 75,000 miles and still orginal clutch.
Great Car
The car has not given me any problems other than routine maintenance. The small engine creates quite a lot of horse power and is absolutely sufficient for daily driving purposes. The seats are comfortable and the gas mileage isn't bad either. The car is very easy and fun to drive!
