Transmission
I purchased a 2007 Camry LE in 2006. I have always purchased Toyotas; buying this one was a mistake and will be my last Toyota purchase. I had to have the carpet in the front replaced because my heel went through it. I explained to the dealer that I have a 2000 Camry (still runs) and never got a hole in the floor; they replaced it after threats. The car does not shift smoothly; hesitates. The paint is chipping so badly, the tires wore too quick. I faithfully get this car serviced, as soon as I can afford to I am going to get a Honda or Acura. My underinflated tire light keeps coming on, according to the dealer I can put nitrogen in the tires to prevent this problem.
Do NOT BUY
I have had my 07 Camry LE for a few months now, and I am extremely disappointed. I traded in my 04 Accord and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. I am terrified that I will not be able to accelerate when I need it. Toyota will need to address the lack of power, I have to be very aware of this issue prior to making any moves on the street. I also am not impressed with the quality. My previous Accord felt better on the road. This car is too boring and dull.

overall a good car.
This will be my second review on Edmunds; I wrote a review on my 1997 Lincoln Town Car, which I still have and love. The Camry is my mother's car, but I drive it more often than not, and I'm writing this review because she would never say a bad word about any Toyota product. I'll start with the negatives: the interior is nice looking and well-designed but very cheap. There are plenty of squeaks and rattles. The padded dash was nice until it started melting in the heat a few years ago; it gets very sticky and a fingernail will scratch it. She did get a notice from Toyota about this but never had it fixed. We've had somewhat elevated oil consumption, although apparently not as bad as others; it has 130,000 miles now, and it's not that bad. The power locks went out at about 95,000, although that may be an isolated issue. The build and body quality is also disappointing; the trunk is moderately misaligned and will not shut unless you slam it. Some panels fit loosely, and there are a few cosmetic issues. One of the dummy fog lights fell out. Having had 3 other Camrys, including my Dad's 2005, this is very irritating. His has a high-quality interior and excellent build quality. All this being said, the car does have many good points. It's very comfortable and quiet, it gets good gas mileage, and aside from the oil consumption, we've never had a major problem from it at all. The engine and transmission are smooth and refined. All in all, I think Toyota is a decent company that makes mostly reliable, if unexciting, vehicles, but sometimes they ride high on their reputation; the quality on this car is nowhere near it used to be. I've test driven newer ones, and it's improved but still not as nice as they have made. Overall I would recommend this car to anyone who's interested, but people who care about driving should know that there's not a thing exciting about it or almost any other Toyota product; they always get you from point A to point B predictably, but the're very boring.

What a Letdown
Comparing it to my '03 Camry, I have been frustrated by this car's lack of reasonable performance. The engine has a horribly long hesitation when trying to accelerate and the transmission downshifts with the slightest throttle pressure and on the most minor upgrades. I have averaged 25 mpg over 3800 miles, which is substantially less than the 30mpg I averaged with my '03. The dealer and factory have evaluated the car and agree with my concerns, but say there is no solution at this time. Buyers of 4-cyl 5AT - do extensive test drives on at least two different Camrys and compare to several competitors.
Don't Even Look At Competitors!!
This is my first car, and I love it. I bought this new Camry solely on infamous reliability and reputation. Mine is super white, and exterior is georgeous. I'm 24 years old and I would've never bought this Camry if it wasn't redesigned. Interior is simple and well laid out. The blue neon center console makes the interior look really cool, every single person that's been in my car loved it. I didn't notice any tranny hesitation for over 300 miles mixed city/hwy and 250 miles round trip on hwy. Fuel economy is just so-so. Overall, it blasts off any competitors.
