1991 Toyota Camry DX review from North America
"One of the hall of fame used cars!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced a battery and a headlight myself...
Many service items were dealt with by the previous owner in hopes of keeping the car for many more years, then his wife decided she really wanted a Jeep Cherokee!
Most importantly, the timing chain was replaced right before I purchased the vehicle.
General comments?
The '89 - '91 Camry's are just about perfect cars, especially if they have been well-maintained. If not, there are plenty of used parts around and they are easy to work on.
I had the four cylinder and a 5-speed, would get up to 33 or 34 on the highway on trips; usually averaged about 26 - 28 mpg.
Just a great car and I only sold it because I was moving across the country.
