Used 2005 Toyota Camry XLE V6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Camry #1 How many years in a row?
This is the 3rd Toyota Camry I've owned and they have all been purchased USED. I buy them with 30,000 miles or less and drive them for (no less than 4 years)and an additional 150,000 miles until trade in. Total annual cost (average) to own the vehicle? $2910 including tax, title and maintenance. When my current Camry is paid off in 2 months the annual cost to own my Camry will drop to $419. And I'll ride that out for 2 more years. Not a bad annual cost to ride a fully loaded Camry V6 XLE loaded to the gills. Since 1997? Why would I drive ANYTHING else. Seriously!

Third Toyota owned. Toyota changed to a direct wire transmission with which they have acknowledged having rough shifting problems, particularly when driven by more than one driver. Also has soft braking, again acknowledged by Toyota, which makes for unsure stopping. Seats are not comfortable on long trips and overall quality is not as expected of Toyota which now appears more interested in outselling its competition rather than upholding past quality standards.

V6 Camry has problems, though nice car
I bought car in Feb 2005. After about 600 miles noticed car would hesitate from stop, 1st to 2nd gear. Also, downshifts rather hard around 45 and 60 mph. The camry is a nice car though. And not all camry's will act this way. Toyota says that things are working within spec. Discouraging.

My wife and I have had this car for a few years now and it has been an awesome vehicle. It hasn’t needed anything except routine maintenance. It only has 112,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. It drives good and the seats are comfortable. I have noticed that the seats in newer vehicles aren’t as comfortable as older vehicles.

Slick and Sexy!
Ok this is a great dad car, I just purchased of a lot only has 110,000km which is super low. The stock JBL sound system is amazing, the car performs like a luxery mid sized sedan. The power is there if needed. Love the interior and feel confident about performance for longer roadtrips. 4 wheel disk brakes are exceptional by comparison to the minivan. Looking forward to many years of service from this stylish sedan.
