1999 Toyota Camry LE review from North America

Check Engine light comes on and gives error code for some fuel vent filter error. Does not effect mileage or performance.

Front Driver's side exterior door handle face plate broke off. Toyota wants almost $90 for the new, color coordinated door handle. A black, paintable, after market handle costs around $25.

Front, left headlight is a real PITA to replace.

All in all, this is still the solid Camry that made the model famous. Current mileage is Driving 20-25k miles per year with all the confidence in this car. Fuel mileage is still in the 28-32 mpg range depending on the amount of highway driving done. The only time I have been stranded on the side of the road was due to a blown tire.

The suspension is a bit soft. New neighborhood speed humps and a loaded trunk will cause the car to scrape if going any faster than idle speed. Leg room in the front is enough for both me at 6'4" and my "little" brother at 6'8". Leg room in the rear is tight.

The 2.2L 4 cylinder engine is not exactly a speed demon, nor was it meant to be. There is plenty of power to haul a light load if need be and plenty of fuel economy to avoid breaking the bank at the pumps. Overall, the value if this car is fantastic.
