Used 2008 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
08 Camry SE
Loved this car- I bought this car in 2009 and just traded it in today with 213,000 miles acquired. This was my most fav car I’d ever owned. I took it in for service religiously. The problems - this car has been using around two quarts of oil per 750 miles . I was buying oil by the case yet it passed the oil so sumo toon test TWICE! The dealership didn’t understand that either. I replaced the valve cover gaskets (no help). I think the “leak” they saw was me being messy putting in oil. I changed the spark plugs and coil packs at 200,000 bc it would sometimes stutter when trying to accelerate. Replaced one sun visor that happened to break on me while driving down the interstate. I had to break it off with bare hands so I could see to continue to drive. Replaced radiator last year due to good sized hole that seemingly came out of no where. CD player failed several years ago but that was not a big deal to me. That’s it. This has been a great reliable car. It was easy to drive and easy to handle. I never thought I would trade her but I did today for another Camry of course with 36,000 miles. I hope it’s as good to me as the 2008!

My first Toyota Camry
First impression was pleasing. But at 8000 mile had to have to have the transmission reprogrammed. At 20,000 mile the transmission had to be reprogrammed and the windshield washer motor had to be replaced. At 25,000 mile tires were out of round and had to be replaced. The car does not dampen road feel as it at first. Still have tranny issues with over/under sluggish shifting and acceleration, needs the latest up reprogramming. I expected better from Camry. Fuel economy is better than expected on mostly level interstate travel, hilly terrain it decreases 3-6 mpg and really suffers in mountains. Still has a quiet ride and is easy to handle. At speed the passing ability is ok. The center post blocks vision.
I love this car
Everything about this car is wonderful, I got the fully loaded se camry for 2008, with the v6, navi, roof, upgraded wheels, every available option, msrp about 33000, but, it is well worth it. This car is fast. You don't even have to try to go fast and you look down and your going 80 on the expressway, plus it has the tiptronic shift which really unleashes a beast under the hood. Cornering is excellent, I can take a 30 mph corner at 55-60 mph. I also have the vehicle stability control and traction control. The navi is very user friendly. I love this car in every way. Heated seats are nice and the leather sport package is great.
Love the Camry
This car has a smooth ride, plenty of power, great fuel economy for a six. I am so impressed with this car, this is my first Toyota. I have no problem comming out of and suv. This car is easy to drive with a real luxury drive. I feel safe and not overwhelmed with all the suv on the raods. I am averaging 23mpg on reg fuel mixed driving with more power than my bmw
