2006 Toyota Camry SE review from North America
"This car is over priced"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned a car with an automatic transmission since 1959. I purchased a car approx every 3 to 4 years. This Toyota transmission is the WORST I have ever owned. In downshifting in traffic, I never know if I'm going to be in 1st or 2nd gear; it either takes off fast or very slow.
Also I have valve train noise in cold weather; I didn't have it the first winter of ownership. The dealer tells me both items are OK (BS).
General comments?
This car is way overrated.
