1987 Toyota Camry 4 door sedan LX review from North America
"The champ of get er done"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rebuilt top end at 428000 miles.
Exhaust rotted away, did not fix, actually made it sound tougher.
Wrecked by a 78 Chevy 3 quarter ton van on drivers side.
A/C has always worked, and so has the heater.
Tires are pretty cheap for it too.
I like the feel of the cab; it's caddy style, only with cloth.
I would like to highly recommend the Toyota Camry to anyone wanting a entry level sedan.
General comments?
My car is modified from factory; it achieved 128 mph at the end of a 1/4 mile in 12.9. so for a 2.0l engine it's pretty zippy.
It's economical; even like this it cranks out 30 mpg on the freeway, so if the gas pinch has got you down, go team Toyota.
The transmission is crisp at high rpm, but caddy style on normal takeoff. It's the 4 speed automatic with factory push button overdrive disengagement, manual shift capability and even has cruise. The only option it did not get was the sunroof.
