1994 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Great car for your wife"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only a few of concern:
1. Lost water pump at just 80,000 miles. Note: if you hear a squeaking noise near your alternator that disappears when you add water pump coolant, better change it soon (1 week).
2. Slight smoke on cold start... going to try Valvoline Max Life to see if it will swell the valve seals.
3. Dis-coloration of the transmission fluid. I believe a seal between the engine and transmission is leaking. Not causing performance problems. I just change x. mission fluid more often.
General comments?
4 cyl. peppy with electronic shift point button (power or normal) on automatic to squeeze all of the power out of the engine.
