Used 2009 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
Toyota = (disappointment)^2
A/C is too weak in the Summer. Heater is weak in the Winter. Plastic smells funny in the Summer. Seats are horrible and there is no way to relax. Looks old, like 2007 body. Observed gas mileage appears poor: 20 mpg. Ergonomics is very poor: I have to open my door with two fingers from the inside... Cheap-O stereo. Interior is cheap plastic garbage: Some of the dashboard parts have misplacement. Electronics (RPM failure) and some wiring issues were covered by Toyota since its a lease and I dont care about details. My Story: I had no motivation to buy Toyota Camry but I needed a car ASAP (I graduated and moved to NYC in August 2008). I wanted to buy VW Jetta but NY dealers were playing games..
Outside temp
We have had Camrys for many years and have found them to enjoyable and reliable. Traded our '05 XLE 4 banger for an '09 XLE 4 banger. Thought our '05 drove and rode better, but could be wrong. We enjoy our '09, but have found one minor glitch. The outside temp does not show all temps. For example, have never seen 62, 65, 69, and a bunch others. when these numbers are written down a pattern shows up. A tech. from Chicago has compared our '09 with another '09 and found them both to have the same "design" trouble, although he did not nor would not admit this was a problem. He did agree to send info on to be looked at by higher authorities.

Wish I kept my Acura
I previously owned an Acura TL, but was disappointed in the new body style. I bought the Camry strictly because I loved the looks better than the new Acura TL. Well what a mistake that was. Even though this car has excellent acceleration, the cheap plastic parts inside are terrible quality causing squeaks and rattles everywhere.
Very Reliable Car!!!
The car is very low mileage and I have gotten the car serviced on a regular bases. Great Michelin tires.

Disappointed
I bought a Camry because in the past I had driven them. I found the engine to be quiet to the point that you didn't know the car was running. Not my Camry, when starting it up it sounds as if a truck is running. When changing gears it sounds as if I have duel mufflers. I had it in for service, this is what they say " it's a 4 cylinder" "the car is new" "there is nothing mechanical wrong with the car".
