1994 Toyota Camry XLE review from North America
"Top choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've owned this car since January, and the only repairs I've had to do have nothing to do with reliability.
For the Camry to pass inspection, I had to
put a new windshield on and have a back tire rod fixed.
I've also put on two new tires and had an alignment done on it.
Just usual things from wear and tear.
General comments?
I really do like this car. I enjoy driving it and there is a lot of get up and go to it with its V6.
The car is comfortable to drive or be driven in if you're a passenger.
I bought this car and obviously it was well used.
The previous owner said he had a new engine installed in it at 100,000 miles, so the odometer reads 272,000 instead of 172,000 miles -- that really surprises people!! The car's battery is sort of rigged in there with a bungy cord. Kind of funny looking, but if you take it off, the battery dies. Not sure what's up with that. It starts up every time so I can't complain.
I recommend anyone looking for a used car to buy a Camry or at least some sort of Toyota.
They're reliable cars. Now just because it's a Toyota doesn't mean you don't have to take care of it! Just keep an eye on the oil and other items. If you buy it used, make sure the car has been well taken care of.
Other than that, enjoy Toyota. I don't think you'll be disappointed! :)
