1986 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"This is the 3rd car I owned and I'm not getting a 4th"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes are a little squeaky.
This car needs to be repainted.
Nothing on the dashboard works as well as the speedometer and the odometer. I put 286,666 as my recent mileage, because that's when the odometer stopped.
If I open the passenger side window, it will open fine and go down all the way, but when I have to close it, it will only go up very slow and stop half way up, and will not go up anymore.
Clutch may be going.
When shifting from 3rd to 4th it makes this nasty weird noise.
When doing about 75mph the steering wheel shakes.
General comments?
This car will handle turns very well, no matter how fast I drive.
This is the only car I had that had a clean history on it.
When you need to have parts replaced, they are hard to find because the car is over 20 years old, and those parts are on the expensive side, but the new parts will probably last another decade.
This car runs like a bat out of hell. I will never get rid of it.
