My First Car Purchase

My 2002 Toyota Camry was the first car I have ever purchased on my own. My previous auto had been selected by my former spouse and was very expensive to maintain. I chose the Camry based on its reputation for reliability and the recommendations of two family members who have both owned a Camry for more than 10 years. So far I have been pleased with my purchase. The exterior is very attractive. The interior is comfortable. Gas mileage is great. Acceleration on the highway is good and the braking ability is excellent. The cabin is also extremely quiet. I am very happy with this car and look forward to many years of quality driving.

BEST DECISION I'VE EVER MADE

Writing this review from Toronto, ON. I've had terrible experiences with VW last couple years. 2015 PASSAT TDI and 2019 JETTA. Jetta was totaled after 3 months and didn't have any budget to buy brand new car. I did lot of research and decided to get a camry. I found one owner 2003 Camry XLE 4 cyl. Very well taken care. Passed the safety easily. All I had to change is passenger side CV axle. That's it. And I bought it for $1900 CAD. Paid $250 for replacing the part. There's a US made and JAPAN made on the market for that model (2002-2006). If you're planning to get one, make sure it's JAPAN built.

bought the car from a dealer. car needed the starter and fan system replaced 2 days after. car runs really hot. oil is seeping out of the engine. car has 103,000 miles on it for a Toyota this shouldn't be much. there is a known issue with camrys from 2002-2006 with the headbolts stripping off the engine block causing the engine to overheat and then blow at any givin time.and there is no support from toyota they could car less selling the car on name alone instead of quality. if i could go back in time i would tell the dealer to keep it and got into something else. purchased it for Toyota name and quality and got the worst car experience ive ever havve to deal with do not buy this car

After 205,000 miles I continue to be amazed every day about how good this car really is. Comfortable for long hauls, 4cyl power is plenty for virtually any situation and consistently 25-27+mpg city and 35-38mpg on the interstates. I do need to replace a valve gasket and I'm about due for struts but other than that its been trouble-free motoring. I fully expect it to go right through 300,000 miles easily.
