Used 2007 Toyota Camry CE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
2007 (2.4) Camry - An expensive mistake
I've owned Camrys before but this 2007 (2.4 L) is the worst. It is totally underpowered. It constantly hesitates, looking for the proper gear, when you punch it. It is dangerous. Total lack of frontal visability. Grossly angled windshield with large front roof supports make looking forward like looking into a tunnel. Large rear view mirror blocks off even more of frontal visability. Good luck with curbs when you turn right! Dash rattles. Gas mileage is disappointing, 21 in town. My 3.8 Town&Country got 19! Ride is bad. No head room. This was an expensive mistake. I will dump it next year for sure and eat the loss.
2007 Toyota Camry
I own 2007 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. My 5th new Camry over past 11 years. I've loved the previous Camry's..hate this one. I can't get over 24 mpg, it downshifts on slightest hill, even on the interstate. When I run A/C, it constantly shifts down 2 gears & lurches back & forth. It even shifted down far enough & redlined to 7.5 the other day on the interstate, when I turned on the A/C & it was slightly windy. It lurches on corners. Dealer installed software update & agrees it is awful, but nothing more they can do.
Toyota
We were disappointed that it didn't have keyless entry but other than that it is a very good car. Car seats fit pretty well in it also. I don't see the point of the text display option because it hasn't worked for any of our CDs or even with an auxiliary iPod.
Cute, but certainly not a NASCAR
The side front windows limit visibility, the transmission hesitates when shifting, the back seat passenger room is spacious, the stereo system has a great bass and the versatility of CD changer, satellite, iPod, etc., is outstanding. The Bluetooth hands free cell phone feature is user friendly, the 2.4l 4 cylinder engine is great, for in town driving, but there is barely enough power to maneuver interstate lane changes. Overall I like the Camry for its large trunk space, sporty look, the metallic red paint, reliability and low maintenance, Toyota warranty, Toyota dealer service department and better gas mileage than my full size truck. I would recommend buying the 6 cyl. engine.
My Disappointing Camry
I had always heard that Toyota had the best quality cars. Wrong. Not this time, not this year. My Camry is seriously underpowered, seriously noisy, and rattles as it goes down the road. Instead of being one of the best cars I have owned, it is one of the worst. I hear every stone, every pebble and every bit of rock salt as it pings off the bottom of the car. The trunk and doors are hollow and they sound like it with a slight reverberation when you close them. No sound absorption here. Oh, and the brakes squeal. I can't wait to trade it in.
