General Comments:

This car has lasted me years and I still plan to drive it it is very dependable. Very smooth to drive. Great on gas.

Faults:

Steering wheel became loose.

Air-Conditioning has failed many times.

Wheels weren't aligned properly which resulted in the tires wearing thin and then a massive blow out.

The upholstery is quite worn out.

General Comments:

Although it has been an amazingly reliable car, it is starting to show its age. The engine is quite noisy and the gearbox sometimes is clunky.

If the engine is cold, the car sometimes makes a grinding noise when it goes into third gear.

Faults:

Air conditioning condenser leaking.

Wiper switch was broken when I got it.

I found one in a breakers yard.

Electric antenna mast doesn't go up all the way. About £35 for a new mast.

A bit of rust around RH rear wheelarch & windscreen top caused by poor accident repair & pattern windscreen being fitted.

General Comments:

Build quality is the best I've seen in a Japanese car.

Although the mileage is high, the engine & transmission are fine, neither using oil.

A bit unwieldy, but it is a large car primarily designed for the Americans. The estate is a rare sight in Britain & its exclusivity & twin rear wipers are very satisfying!

Secondhand parts are hard to find, new parts are pricey, but you have to pay for quality!

24mpg on a run, about 18mpg when towing my caravan. Ideal for towing despite being front wheel drive.

Engine doesn't use any oil, sophisticated transmission is very smooth.

I reckon that the build quality surpasses anything the Germans do & I would highly recommend the Camry, a very underrated car.

Faults:

Severe engine oil leakage at 150,000 miles. $1200 to fix leaks.

Good quality oil became baked inside the engine, but never resulted in a problem...however, it's not normal. Engine discontinued after 2002 model.

General Comments:

Fantastic car overall. Absolutely no rattles or squeaks or buzz after 150 k miles. RELIABLE AS A STONE AX !

Faults:

The air conditioning unit was reconditioned at 170,000 kms.

The timing belt was replaced at 180,000kms, along with the water pump.

I had a problem with wheel alignment that wore out a new set of tires after only 40,000kms of use. I now have the alignment checked every 20-30,000 kms.

There have been no problems since with alignment.

The power antenna quit after it, s first winter. I now have a non-power version.

The center arm rest is wearing badly.

Small signs of rust on one wheel arch.

I got a new battery at 157,000 kms.

I use a Toyota deal to service the car. I have spent $4,000CAN. In maintenance costs over the 125,000 kms I have driven this car.

General Comments:

I travel 50,000 kms a year. This car has been fantastic. Unless it is full of people and going into a headwind it passes effortlessly on the highway and cruises comfortably and quietly. It gets 32mpg on the highway. It has only let me down once when the timing belt went. My fault I did not get in in quick enough. There was no engine damage at all when it went.

It looks great and I have total confidence in the car despite the high mileage. It's characteristics have not changed since I bought it. It is very stable at speed and is confidence inspiring when passing semi's on windy days in the rain.

I plan to replace it next year, but only because I like change and I think I want a sun roof. Also maybe a V6 for those passenger laden windy days. Then again, maybe I'll spend the money on other toys and drive it for another 125,000kms.
