Used 2001 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
Cheap to own
Bought this car new in April 01. I have only 46,000 on it but am amazed that nothing has gone wrong with this car in 9 years. Just basic maintenance and 1 new set of tires. I just had the state inspection done and I was waiting for a large bill. I figured after 9 years I was due for some repairs even though it still drives like the day I got it. They told me it didn't need a thing. Would recommend these cars to everybody. I could not imagine a quieter smoother ride.
Awesome car.
I needed a car to get me around, also it needed to get good gas mileage. My Toyota Camry fits the bill. It has a nice, firm ride. Build quality is exceptional. The ac blows nice and cold quickly, an important quality living in the desert. The v6 is a rocket motor that will get you a ticket if your not careful. All in all, a car that will be with me for a long time.
Old Girl still going.
I bought this car from MIL in 2006 and still driving it. 243,526 miles later I have put maybe $5000.00 in total maintenance. Most of the time I have repairs done at a local Toyota Specialist using Toyota parts. I imagine that helps, but believe it’s just that good of a car. I’m hoping I can keep her going because I know I’ll never find another car like this Camry!
Great Car
My grandparents bought this car new in 2001. It is a "Collector Edition" model with two tone paint and I guess a lot of other extras like auto climate control and the classy "wood effect" trim (plastic). The car was given to me from another family member a little over a year ago with 230k miles on it needing brakes and with an exhaust leak. Less than $1,500 later, the car has been perfect. The 8 speaker stereo with 6 CD changer works great, and the a/c is perfect. It now has almost 238k miles and runs better than my Mitsubishi with 150k miles. The V6 has plenty of power even with the a/c running. It's a grandpa car, but I'm hanging onto this as long as I can. The dash has no cracks, and the leather seats are still barely broken in. I've taken it on several 500+ mile road trips and it handles perfect doing 80-90 mph even with the high miles.

Good Car
This car never failed me in mechanical ways. The tires that they give have no grip at all. On snow and rain you slide all over the place. I wish they had ABS optional. Also traction control wil be nice. If it had two of those options this car will be perfect for the price and quality of the car.
