Excellent Commuter Car
I have owned my fair share of cars, and this is definitely my favorite to drive to work in every day. No, it's not exciting to drive, but it is very comfortable and has plenty of power for the average person. I have had zero issues with this car, just routine maintenance. Has a very good stock audio system in the car, I can't see myself selling this any time soon! I drive a lot of long trips, this car just eats away the miles!
My newest Camry
I have owned 3 other used Camrys (1997, 1997 and 1999) and I wanted a newer model. Did some research and lots of test driving, and this 2005 is solid, sturdy and dependable. It is spacious and very user friendly, with all the push button controls. I really do love this car, and am happy every time I get inside to drive it.
I'm sold on Camrys
I bought this car with 30k miles in 2006 and have now put another 100k on it. Aside from routine fluid and tire changes, this car has given me absolutely no mechanical difficulties. It got nearly 40 miles per gallon on the freeway when I first got it, but now (2013) it's closer to 32. Here are some cons: the keyless entry stopped working on me a year ago; the back speakers shattered on me into little pieces two years ago (this seems to be a common problem -- the sun pretty much destroys them); the molding on the cd player began to become unsealed from the heat of the sun. Overall, this has been a spectacular car. I plan on driving it until it's totally dead.
The most reliable car EVER MADE!!
I purchased my 2005 Camry LE new in August 2005 and it now (13 1/2 years later) has about 140,000 miles on it. Simply put, this car never breaks down. Other than routine maintenance--oil, tires, change fluids, new shocks, etc--I have spent about $300.00 on repairs. Yep, $300.00 in 13 1/2 years and that repair was for something that wasn't even that important and was more of a precaution (can't even remember what it was). Everything still works perfectly--A/C, heat, power windows, transmission, electrical. No problems at all. This car just keeps on going. Great gas mileage because it's a 4 cylinder. Sure it's not the most exciting car visually or to drive but who cares when it's this cheap to operate. I paid around 17k for this car and it's the best money I've ever spent on a vehicle by far.

Love this car
I've had my 2005 Camry LE since 2004 and I absolutely love it. It has over 160,000 km on it and apart from brakes, tires and oil changes, I have not spent a penny for other repairs. I drive to Florida and back every year and I really push it. This 4 cyl. is very performing and very, very reliable. I even pull by bass boat all summer long!!! My wife loves it too. No rattles, no rust, no problems!!!! What a car!!!
