1995 Toyota Camry LE 2.2 Gas

Summary:

It's like Old Faithful on wheels

Faults:

I've owned 35 cars in the last 15 years and this is the first one which has not given me a problem... not one!

I just change the oil, put in gas and drive the thing. No drama! What a concept!

General Comments:

What can I say about Camry that hasn't been said a million times? This car is proof that humans can make a car last longer than 5 years without it falling apart.

I've driven the car through 24 states and added on 30,000 miles and I couldn't have been more happy with my Camry.

Mileage could be better as I average 28 highway MPG. Would like to see 30+.

The car has 127,000 miles and the interior looks like it has 50,000. No wear on the seats or cracks in the dash.

My 95 Camry is rarer than most. It's a bright red Coupe. Less than 2% of all Camrys in 1995 were coupes. I have 18 chrome wheels which really sets it off. It gets more looks than a Camry should.

If I could change anything, I would have looked for a V6, specifically the SE Coupe. The 2.2 is OK, but it's slower than molasses in January when compared to some of the cars I have owned.

I agree with this person. The '95 Camry is wonderful. It drives like new, and I have 249,000km on it. I get 34 mpg, but I cruise on the hwy at about 105 Km/ph so I never speed. I can't bring myself to sell this thing, and get into payments again! I have it oil sprayed every 2 years and there is only a couple rust spots along the top of the windshield.

1995 Toyota Camry LE

Summary:

With this milleages, this is still in good shape

Faults:

- The "D" light in the dashboard is burned out.

- The power locks do not work except the driver side

- The power window on the rear driver side does not work, but can still be controlled from the driver control panel.

- Rust on the windshield rim causes leaking during rainy days

- Seats becomes less supportive, and no good for long hours drive. Back-breaking ride.

General Comments:

- I just hit 300,000 km, the car is still running quietly and smoothly

- I fixed the leaking problem, and have the rust proof to the body

- I even fixed the air conditioning

- The car is even more quiet with the air-conditioning on.

- I am expecting the car to run for another 200,000 km, as there are no major break down. I did have the radiator fixed before. Other than that, it is fine.

1995 Toyota Camry LE Sport 3.0L V6

Summary:

Legendary Toyota Reliability

Faults:

Over the 9 years I had the car...

I replaced a CV Joint around 150000kms.

Brake Rotors once.

The power antenna a couple times because of ice burning out the motor.

I replaced the starter around 300000kms as the solenoid was sticking.

General Comments:

This was probably one of the most reliable cars ever built. It was the first car I'd ever owned from new, and the maintenance for it was probably the cheapest I'll ever have.

I was 16 when I got the car, and I abused it like most teenage boys would. Did you know a Camry can reach 130mph on the right stretch of highway? But the Camry took the abuse in stride and never let me down.

The last year I drove the car down muddy logging roads, spending most of its time sliding on it's undercarriage, other than a new bracket for the muffler, the car held up.

I feel bad for what I did to this car that looked after me so well, but it's a testament to Toyota quality after all that, and with the high mileage, I was still able to sell the car for $5000. (The down payment for a sorely needed truck)
