1998 Toyota Camry Vienta VXI review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Condensate leaked into the front passenger foot well. The dealer rectified this problem by replacing the seal in the air conditioner condensate box. Work was performed under warranty at 56000kms. This included drying the carpets and cleaning them.
A short time later a shudder was noticed in the disk brakes. The dealer told me that this is a common problem in all Camrys. Disks replaced under warranty, brake pads replaced at my expense.
General comments?
A great car.
Economical to run on highway cycle. However a little thirsty around town.
Enough room for a family of four plus luggage.
Yes, I would own another one.
