This car has been one of our all time favorites and we are now in our 70's. Very comfortable on long or short trips.

I purchased this car new in 2002 basically as a commuter vehicle as I was driving 100 each day, 6 days a week in Florida. A lot of highway driving. This vehicle has been nothing but reliable. Still going strong with 235,000. I had given this vehicle to my bro in law, who is great at maintaining vehicles. Starter went and was fixed. Other than that what a gem !!!!!! I also have a 2009 Camry SE. Going strong. Absolutely NO problems. 2020 and still no problems.

I bought this car with 11000 miles on it and now has 81000 miles. It's now starting to give us trouble. The catalytic converter went out at 81000. The transmission failed at 81200. What next? Not the best car I've ever owned.

We had looked at all similar cars and were pretty sold on the '02 Passatt. After leaving the VW dealership, we passed a Toyota dealership and thought we'd test drive the Camry just to see if our minds could be changed. Boy, are we glad we did! The XLE-V6 is a fantastic car! The only options we didn't get were the spoiler and the navigation system, and it was still about $4K less than the Passatt. I'd definitely consider the Camry...

8 time in the shop and still rattles

I bought this Camry expecting quality and reliability. I've had it 2 months and have had to take it for repairs 8 times. First the rear suspension made noises. That was fixed after two tries. Then the overhead light rattled. The handles on both front doors rattle. They added foam to both doors four times and it still makes noises. Now the radio has started rattling. There is a delay between prssing the accelerator and the car moving. Toyota says signal has to be processed by the central computer. However that is dangerous in an emergency situation. And the brakes are soft by design. You have to floor it. I'm selling this Toyota and never buying one again.
