231,000 Miles and Still Going!
I've purchased my Camry in Jan. 2015, with about 196,000 miles on the odometer. I drive a lot and over the course of a year, I've put on about 36,000 grueling miles of San Francisco-area traffic; a lot of city street driving, with a decent blend of highway commuting as well. Because I drive so much in heavy traffic and because of the already high miles on the car, I was a bit nervous that it might bite the dust before I could afford something newer and nicer. But in fact, it's only left me stranded once - and that was only because of a bad battery. Now at 231,000 miles, it's still running on the original 2.4L engine and original transmission. It's starting to shift harshly and it has a few electrical issues, but you can't say most cars will make it past 230,000 miles. Bulletproof reliability, even survived a bad accident I was involved in back in October. It needed a new control arm and has a few battle wounds from the incident, but still drives and handles like how some cars drive at 90,000 miles. This was my first Toyota and I'm VERY satisfied! Definitely going to be a repeat Toyota customer!

No Problems
Vehicle has performed flawlessly for 12 years. Only scheduled maintenance and normal replacement items required. Updated Jan 4, 2019. Mileage now 135,000. No change to previous review required. Approaching 155,000 miles. Only standard maintenance required to date. Air Conditioner is still blowing cold, has never been serviced. Remote door locks have stopped working. Toyota wanted over $1000 to replace the receiver. Not worth it at this stage, just use the key like we did dozens of years ago.

Love It!
Love It! Quite, Handles great, can't tell how fast your really going. Easy passing on the interstates
I'll take reliable any day of the week...
Remember the old days when your ride didn't cost a fortune, had windows you could see out of and didn't look like a plastic Darth Vader helmet on wheels? Remember when you could DEPEND on your car for RELIABLY doing it's job, day in and day out? Isn't that what you STILL expect from your vehicle, to get you to work on time, safely tote your kids and carry you to far-away unfamiliar places, and back again...without worry? Didn't that make you feel smuggly satisfied in a 'I'm-a-grownup-not-a-heavy metal-groupie' sort of way? Well congratulations, you've come to the right vehicle...again. All a Camry does is reliably, affordably and comfortably get you there. No gimmicks, breakdowns or stupid macho dude pretenses, at a fair price, for about a quarter million miles or so. Now THAT'S cool.
