Has Your Car's Value Changed?
Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.
If it is used, it is used up.
The 2.4L Camry is a mid-sized car which feels like a mid-sized car inside, parks like a mid-size car outside, and sips gas like a compact... and drives with the slushy feel, vague steering, handling, and turning circle of a much larger car. The driver's seat is extremely uncomfortable. Some of the interior luxury features like heated seats are nice. The mpg computer over-states the gas mileage by a bit, but it still does very well for such a large car. Reliability is where it all falls down. All 2006s are out of warranty now and repairs are very expensive. If you want a used 2006 be sure to get the V-6 which reportedly doesn't have the problems the 2.4L does.
Too many little things.
Ok, this is going to sound nitpicky, but bear with me. You've got to know about this before you buy. First off: The car looks great, drives great, handles great, build is great. BUT There are so many annoyances that I feel like I'm losing my mind. 1). Cannot get comfortable: always reaching for the wheel. 2). Blinkers are always on - because they don't click loud enough to remind me to shut them. 3). Speedometer is stupid. It is marked 20,40,60,80 etc. To see 55 or 45mph you've got to mentally interpolate. 4). A BIGGY: Gas mileage not what they tell you. It is billed as 24/34 - I've never gotten over 23mpg. This is basically bait an switch! Sounds petty, but small things really add up!

Camry 2006 - V6 3.3 SE
The breaking in period doesnt really let you feel the power of the engine. Once I approached to the 500 miles, I was able to gas up the engine and feel what the best Camry performance- speaking can do. The tests done by the pros indicate that SE V6 can do 0-60 in 6 seconds. My own test shows that it can do it in about 4.5s and without stressing the engine much which gracefully impressed me. After all it is 3.3L V6. The outside looks stylish, nicer than the Accord. I surveyed every single lady in my family and relatives and they find it more attractive than the Accord. They stated the same: It looks more elegant, more car". You cannot go wrong with it.
Love the Ride but annoying to Drive
First time Toyota buyer just loved the comfort and ride of this tight car. Clean, traditional and conservative styling. Very quiet ride - so much so that sometimes I didn't think the engine was still running. Peppy V6, good handling, gas mileage in high 20's. This top of the line XLE is so well equipped that it could have been a Lexus. But then Toyota cheaped out and didn't even include floor mats.
