1993 Toyota Camry GX 3.0 V6 petrol
Faults:
Front left channel of the stereo died. Er, that's it!
General Comments:
What's good? - Silky smooth V6. Quick. Surprisingly good roadholding for such a smooth ride. Leather, air, cruise, etc as standard. Everything works effortlessly.
What's not so good? - Thirsty. 26 mpg at steady 70mph. 20 mpg around town. Less with the air-con on. Best you'll ever get is around 30 mpg driving like you've an egg under your foot. Doors and boot feel and sound a bit tinny when closed. Dashboard and trim a bit too Japaplastic for this class of car.
Overall? - Painless. Despite the anonymous styling, several "Ooooh. That's one down from a Lexus, isn't it?" and other similarly knowing comments were forthcoming from people who I wouldn't have previously expected to even know what a Camry was. No surprise that they're very popular in the USA.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Simple adjustment to carb???
Where exactly is the carb in a fuel injected car?
