Faults:

The Camry ate 3 sets of tires in the first 20,000 miles.

The sunroof broke 5 times, twice they replaced the entire unit, including the glass. The sunroof would not close at the back and would whistle on the highway.

Two hub caps fell off.

The rear trim on the trunk fell off 3 times.

The master cylinder failed... the dealer told me to keep driving it anyway.

The cruise control shorted out the dash gauges.

The shifter handle broke in half.

The paint started to peel.

Power antenna stopped working.

The original battery lasted 10 months.

Front struts would 'squeak' in cold weather.

Pulse and grind in the front brakes, 5 sets of pads in 28,000.

Tape player died.

General Comments:

The Camry was a Consumer Reports best rated car, in two and a half years I had repair orders piled as high as a dictonary.

I one time found the dealers technician asleep in the car on a side street.

I got hit in a parking lot by a Chrysler LeBaron, it had paint on the bumper the Camry had $3500.00 worth of damage and took 3 weeks to fix due to back ordered parts.

Faults:

Radio bulbs replaced, passenger electric window switch, cigarette lighter.

It tends to gets noisy in the cabin (wind) at high speeds (above 90mph).

General Comments:

The Camry is a very reliable car that just cruises along.

It handles superbly at all legal speeds (up to 70mph in the UK and 80+ on the continent) in comfort.

The seats are very comfortable and the rear passengers have plenty of leg room.

The engine is punchy enough and doesn't refuse to behave sportily if asked.

Have the car serviced regularly and will probably keep it for another 100K miles.

Faults:

Brakes rattle often when braking at high speeds.

After 150,000km, the clutch started to slip, had to replace it.

When braking hard in rain, the front brakes lock up very easy and steering is not an option. But I guess it's better than losing total control of the car.

Minor lights would sometimes not work, also in the interior.

Rear suspension squeaks.

General Comments:

Actually a very well made car, considering I drive the crap out of it and it holds up fairly well. Pretty quick for a 4 cylinder, beats most V6 Camrys in a race, due to it being a 5 speed (pretty rare).

Suspension is good, I've hopped many a curb and it's in good shape, have also bottomed out a lot and no apparent damage to the wheel alignment or suspension.

Gear ratio is kinda tight, but I've taken it to about 208km/h (135mph) in 5th gear at 5500rpm (redlines at 6000rpm).

Starts to shake when you pass 180kmh, engine NEVER overheats, always stays cool no matter how hard I drive it.

Almost impossible to fishtail, even in rain, probably cause it's front wheel drive. Very stable car.

Comfy interior, engine rev's loud when you want it to, sounds like a V6.
