2002 Toyota Camry XLE review from North America
"I would recommend this car to anyone, and would buy another one myself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The steering wheel would squeak when it was turned very far. I took it to the dealership and they did some five minute minor adjustment and the squeak was gone. About a year later it returned. Same repair experience.
An air bag was replaced due to a recall.
Other repairs have been very minor.
General comments?
This is my fourth Camry XLE in about 25 years. I had one other car, an Infinity I-35 during that period. The Camrys have performed very well and had almost no repairs to speak of. I keep buying them because of the really good reliability.
They have also had a great resell/trade-in value when I decided to get a new automobile.
The leather seats do show a fair amount of wear even though they do not get abused and usually I am the only person in the car.
One of the best points about this car is that it uses regular grade of gasoline. With today's high gas prices this is a blessing.
