Used 2007 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
XLE (VS) ES 350
Camry not that good
After purchasing my 2007 Camry, which was a hassle because the salesman was pushy, I started having trouble with the transmission slipping! On top of that some interior trim pieces didn't match and one fell off! I'm shocked. Toyota has this "supposed" impecable quality. I can now say that it is all rumors spread around. I did not buy this car based on looks. It is pretty weird looking, the big front bulg is horrid. I bought it for reliable driving, and I have to say it has failed. I'm looking to trade it for another vehicle, and I heard that new Saturn Aura would be perfect, plus it looks are nice.
Poor finish on bumper and mirrors
My third Camry and by far the worst, the paint is of poor quality. I wax regularly and still get pits in paint from "bugs". Paint and clear coat are poor. Poor transmission. Tire wear is a problem. Had to replace tires at 20,000 miles. Lots of road noise. Tried 3 sets of tires. Wish I had my 2002 Camry back. The muffler sounds like a motorcycle
2nd Camry
Well this is my second 2007 Camry. It is still roomy, comfy, and fun to drive. The power is good for a 4 cylinder 154hp engine. No rattles, I have now 10k miles. I think this car will last and be low maint w.o. a timing belt to change, ownership should be cheap. I am averaging 29 to 30 mpg. I drive mix of light city and highway at 75 mph hwy. The radio gets static when I turn on the rear defrost. Overall the car has a large rear seat big trunk with fold down seats and lots of storage.
Over-rated
We went with Toyota due to its history as a great car. Went with the SE w/V6 for performance. We had it in the shop the first week we got it. Had to take it back 3 times before they replaced the rear shocks and the noise did go away. However, we have developed a cabin noise in the front. All and all, I'm not sure Toyota is what it was. The fit and finish in the cabin is not the level of quality I expected. We have had the car a year, and I think you should shop around before you buy, because Toyota is over-rated.
