Used 2007 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
Fun car, but flawed
This is a fun car to drive. It's amazingly peppy, rides well on highways (not on rough gravel, though). Lots of room, excellent stereo, good controls. Three problems: 1, it's hard to see out the back because of the roof pillars and high headrests. 2, near 75mph, trans kicks down from 5th to 3rd on even moderate hills; should kick to 4th first. 3, TERRIBLE design on 8-way adjustable driver's seat; seat is short front to back and edge hits mid-thigh (and I have short legs), raising seat actually pushes seat forward instead of up at the end, not giving enough leg height to accelerator, only front of seat angles up and cuts off circulation at mid-thigh. Had 5 Camrys, only bad seat I've seen.
Cool and Classy
Wonderful car, rides smoothly, has enough pick up with a 4cyl. No problems ever. Want to keep this car 4 a very long time. Good gas mileage, comfortable seating, lots of leg room. Easy to drive/park. Nothing flimsy. Lumbar support is great. Lots of comfort for the price.

Another follow up review
OK, Ive had my Camry for over a year now. The gas mileage is still good, cant give specifics but for a V6, its good. The driver seat has been re- padded 2Xs and is still horribly soft, for me. The dash rattles have been 'fixed' twice, NOT. still rattles and its frustrating. The car is roomy, pretty quiet and gets good MPGs, the engine is awesome but the chassis is not up to the task at all. Read the editors review here. I had my OEM Turanzas wear out at 14K and was lucky to get local Bridgestones to gimme a mileage warranty adjustment, got new tires for $290.00 instead of $500+ This car is a disappointment.
Update after 6 months
I first posted on Nov. 5 and was lukewarm on the car. Since then I've gotten used to it and feel better about it. I've adjusted my driving to deal with the acceleration hesitation, altho I see now there is a fix for it. But I do want to say it performs really well in bad weather, of which there is plenty in NYS. It's much more stable than my 1996 Explorer on snow, in freezing rain, slush, even ice, and so far I haven't had any repair issues (fingers crossed).
Toyota MUST fix the paint!
Mechanically, this car is fine. A great highway car. Comfortable and quiet with excellent gas mileage. But the paint chipping problem on the front end and hood should put Toyota to SHAME! This is 2008! Why are we skimping on the paint? Looks like a single layer was put on! A familiar and intolerable problem of all owners of this vehicle! Do the right thing Toyota and fix it! You should be embarrassed by this!
