Used 2009 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
Toyota Reliability?
We bought our SE because we thought it would look cool in black with the sport body kit, but there are so many Camrys, they're everywhere. They always looked bad exterior wise, but I thought the reliability was worth it. After 7 months, I ran out the warranty (I drive a lot for work) and the car had electronic problems from the first week. The interior has been falling apart from day one when the door panel came off. I have to go to the shop once every two months because the engine makes odd noises. The interior is, unimaginative to say the least, it truly is an appliance vehicle, no style.
Money well spent.
Okay, I test drove pretty much all the midsize family sedans and in terms of price, value, comfort, looks, and fuel economy the Toyota Camry won. The 4 cylinder is plenty of power so don't waste money for that and the xle trim is worth the extra money. Very comfortable interior and decent handling so don't expect a sports car ride. I like driving this car. Lots of room front and rear with a decent sized trunk. Lots of airbags and VSC for safety. It even has a knee airbag for the driver. Controls are simple enough but I wasn't sold on the navigation. So I didn't get it. Too many things to look at when driving. Overall, I give it an A.

Bad design - giving back /hip pain
I had Corolla for 9 years. I had no problem with that except for its slow pickup and not-good for high speed (over 65) travel. But with Camry I am having back/hip pain because of poor interior design. Gear shift is not smooth, it gets stuck in there. Seating comfort is very poor - I am feeling the vibration in my back and hip. I feel I got cheated after buying Camry 2009 model. Anybody over 40 years old, don't buy Camry it is not worth it. You may get somewhat good mileage but it is going to hurt your health in the long run.
New owner of 'import'
I've had the car a week and enjoy the ride very much. I traded up from a '99 Saturn SL1 that had 211,000 miles on it. The Camry is very comfortable and a great ride. I was a little disappointed in spending $60 for a fill-up after spending barely $30 before. But that's the price of a larger tank. Interior is straight forward, nothing fancy. Buttons logically placed.
Consumer
Comfortable car, good to drive powerful 3.5L with V6 engine. compare to Nissan Maxima and Altima v6 engine and Honda Accord. I'd rather buy Toyota Camry a little cheaper price and the model look good too
