There is a intermittent noise in the dash. The Car has 20 more horsepower than the Mercury Sable it replaced, however seems to have less performance. Rear vision is poor with the spoiler. Love the spoiler, can't see over it.The brake pedal is mushy, but brakes are good. The exhaust pipe hangs down six to ten inches on every Camry I have seen. Looks very Tacky. I no longer have to look at Camrys and rebadged Camrys (Lexus) to identify them. I just look for the exhaust pipe hanging down under the rear axle.

When I decided to buy a new car I enlisted the help of a family member who is a car salesperson. I was given a Toyota Camry to drive for a day and the next day I was given another new car, different make. The other car was considerably less money since they had a great promotion going on. We are talking around three thousand less. The two days I drove these cars I asked ten different people their opinions and explained the deal I could get on each model. There was not one person that recommended the other vehicle. They all said"BUY THE TOYOTA"!!! I took their advise and have been nothing short of thrilled with my choice.

This is my second Camry. The first one I had for nine years and 150000 miles. The '03 ride is so much improved than the last car. The cabin is so quiet.

Good car albeit a little steep in price

I bought the 2002 LE model. Its was kind of pricey compared to some of its competitors, however this is more a function of market timing as in the recent months there have been better incentives offered mainly with the list of standard features like power drivers seat and power locks (I paid extra for) growing over previous years. Overall, good quality as with the first year of a model there are squeaks and rattles that need refinement. Handles well though especially on the interstate with good pickup.

Transmission problems

I purchased my V6 XLE in June. After reading a couple other posts and talking to a few friends, I believe this car has serious transmission problems. The car shifts roughs and hesitates all the time. It bumps into gear at times, especially when slowing not quite to a stop, and then accelerating. Keyes Toyota in Van Nuys assures me that this is a normal function of the transmission. If it is a normal function of the transmission, it makes it very uncomfortable to drive.
