1985 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Yawn... like all Camrys"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New tires twice in the front, once in the back.
New struts in the front... very expensive... was ripped off by the dealer.
New brakes all around. Twice in the front.
Needs new exhaust system.
Leaks oil.
Power windows went out on the driver's side rear and front passenger.
Reverse lights do not work.
Axle had to be replaced.
Defroster doesn't work.
Radio and tape player broke.
General comments?
Well it gets me there relatively quick.
Everything that could go wrong seems to have gone wrong with this thing.
It still runs, quite well if the exhaust was fixed... next month... I'll do that.
Better if I had a stick... the automatic shifts at the wrong time all the time.
