Used 2009 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
The best car I ever had
Traded in a 2007 Tahoe you know the one the saves half the gas by shutting the motor down. I love this car. this is my 6th car in my nine years of driving yes I'm 26 and love the 4 door v-6 power no nav but everything else. Smooth ride and the best gas miles since the '91 CRX (46 mpg) looked at the accord nice but not enough to buy. I can compare this to my old 98' Prelude SH 200hp "built to run" this has way more power for a bigger car. Worth a drive and a buy.
Very Disappointed, Uncomfortable Seats
This is my third Camry, after owning 2000 and 2002 models. I did not like the LE's interior from the beginning; it seemed cheaply made and had sharp angles. We wound up buying an SE because my husband preferred the sporty look and insisted we couldn't go wrong based on our experience with our previous Camrys. The following day I realized that this car has the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. Every time I drive it I wind up with a headache or sore neck. The headrest cannot be adjusted backwards or forward and pushes my head forward. I took it to the dealer to see if there was any solution, but they were unable to help. I am ready to dump this thing and I have only had since May!
Perfect Fit!
First time Toyota owner. Had a very tough time deciding between the Accord and Camry. Received so much more for my money with the Camry and it is a much quieter, smoother ride. Just passed 3K miles and am getting about 31mpg hwy/fwy. Am very happy with my purchase!
Love this Car Despite Shortcomings
I love this car, despite obvious shortcomings. Bought it nearly new with only 12000 miles on the odometer to replace a rock solid '98 Accord on which I put over 200,000 mi. Camry's biggest shortcoming is the build quality of the interior. There are minor squeaks in the driver's seat, and the back seat makes a popping sound. Rear view mirror is a little loose already. The drive is silky smooth, however. The 4 Cyl has surprising pickup and shifts are much smoother than the '09 Accords I test drove. Handling of the SE is almost on par with the Accord and the ride is firm. Highway noise is quite. Despite the cheap looking seats, they are comfortable. All this makes driving a pleasure.
Too many issues
I leased this car and had to buy 4 new tires at 16K mi., had the seatbelt holder repaired after two months of driving, and the transmission seems to not want to shift down properly. Added to all those joys, the recalls. This car is garbage and I can't wait until next year to move over to Honda.
