Camry
It is a good starter car. Be aware that once you crash it a little your gonna get the WORST gas mileage in the world Be careful bout the crousion around the battery cause if you get it scanned at o Riley’s etc it could come up as a altanator issue. Otherwise good car to start with

200K mile review
If you have read the reviews you know about the oil consumption problems and the sticky dash. I had the dealer check my oil consumption but it wasn't loosing enough oil to fall under the class action lawsuit to get it repaired. I was loosing about a quart every 1K miles at the time. Now I am loosing a quart every 800 miles. The AC doesn't work and I had a leaking water pump replaced. The transmission is awesome though.

Oil and Engine Issues :(
I've had my car for a while now. I bought it in 2011, 2 years old for about 13k. After replacing the melting dash, door protectors and starter. I now have issues with oil, I took my car for its scheduled oil change and the mechanic says..."You have no oil in you car, and its back firing, I think you should take it to the dealer because we wont be able to do an oil change". So I take my car to Toyota and the keep it over night. they tell me nothing seems wrong but the are testing the oil consumption I have to bring it back within 1200 miles. BUUUUUUUT my check engine light is on and when I start my car it trembles, I have to let it sit for a while or restart the car. This was my first car I bought all alone, Finally paid for in full and this POS gives me hell after I make my final payment(April) . oh yeah, a mechanic told me its about 6k to fix, car is only worth 5k! I don't think I will buy another Toyota...Honda here I come.

Not happy with quality
This Camry is not the Camry of the old days. The interior materials seem to be cheap. The SE vehicle suspension is horrible. You can every bump. The acceleration in the 4 cylinder veh was OK until the recall on the brake pedal. Now the acceleration is horrible!!! My vehicle is Black and the factory paint had bad places on it when we bought it and we had to have the PS door and rear bumper painted. The paint is very dull and even when clean it is not shiny even with a wax(almost like to they did not put a clear coat on it).I had a 2000 Camry for years and loved it until my daughter's boyfriend totaled it. This 2009 Camry could never stand up to the quality of the older Camrys.
I love my Camry!!
I have had my 2009 V6 Camry XLE since March and I fall more in love each day! It is so gorgeous on the inside and out, I hardly hear road noise, it has great "get-up-and-go", I love the sports shift option when I really need to move quick out of traffic! I also love the way the front dash and gauge area is designed, it's very aesthetically pleasing! It is truly a luxury car. I almost went for the SE, but chose the XLE for the leather interior, sleeker design, and the color options I wanted. There is just no beating this Camry! The only bummer is the rising gas prices, $50 only fills my tank to 3/4 full for about 1-2 weeks! But it's worth it! It is an absolute pleasure to drive!
