Faults:

Power steering began to leak at 170,000 miles.

Transmission needed to be rebuilt at 160,000 miles.

General Comments:

Headlights are a dim yellow and should be replaced with newer brighter bulbs.

V6 power allows for quick acceleration.

Handles very well on turns, have a great feel for the road.

Room for 5 and plenty of trunk space.

Faults:

When I got this car, the head gasket was on it's way out, the head itself was starting to rot away and the top hose fitting on the engine was rotten too (due to someone using only tap water for coolant). This cost me only $865AUD to fix, (not bad considering I only paid $6800 for the car as it was).

The timing belt had just been replaced at 196,000 (with these twin cam Camry's you have to change the timing belt every 100,000 km's or so, the only real flaw with these cars). Repair: $400.

The power steering system leaked at around 195,000. Repair: around $650.

The CV joint boots are starting to crack, Toyota want $228 to replace (each side!).

The paint lacquer is starting to peel off, mainly on the driver's door, and the top of the dash board is starting to turn it's toes up due to it being in the sun a little too much (keep these Jap cars out of the sun, they don't like it!).

The car needed a wheel alignment, and the tyres needed rotating. $51.

Just after I bought the car, the battery suddenly went kaput (though I don't think that's the car's fault). Had a new battery fitted for $125.

With the interior, the 'ceiling' is starting to fall down on my head, and some of the fabric on the insides of the doors are coming to bits...

When I'm reversing my car from my driveway, I sometimes have trouble seeing what's on my left due to the passenger seat's headrest (I've never really had this problem with any of the other cars I've owned).

General Comments:

This car, when you push it on a straight run, can really go, and I'm talking about the automatic! Seems to be good on the fuel too.

Nice, roomy interior, and is really comfortable to drive, I had passengers fall asleep while I drove them around (you almost risk falling asleep at the wheel yourself!).

The simplish interior seems really easy to clean.

Faults:

Car was bought used. Dashboard has lost it's shine and has a "burnt plastic" look due to sun exposure. I believe the Dashboards on 1993 Camrys were not built well enough to sustain heat damage from the sun.

Even after reconditioning the dashboard it still looks the same and is beginning to crack.

With High humidity where I live, the windows take a long time to de-fog, making it difficult to drive at night down dark roads.

Trunk leaks water when opened after rain or washing.

Another minor problem with my Camry is the electric windows and door-locks have had some problems, but they were fixed.

Finally, The engine takes a very long time to cool down after use (especially after driving above speeds of 60 MPH).

General Comments:

The performance with the V6 engine is great! It passes other vehicles at high speeds with ease.

The 4-speed Automatic transmission gears shift very smoothly, even when I hit the accelerator hard.

The car handles pretty good with a smooth and quiet ride and drives like new.

Sound insulation is incredible!

The Camry was built with a very strong body which makes me feel very safe inside.
