1989 Toyota Camry LXI review from North America
"The best car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very few. I had the timing belt replaced (and the water pump, timing belt tensioner, and all belts) replaced at 90,000 miles as a maintenance item. I've replaced the brakes at about 30,000 mile intervals, two sets of tires, and most recently had to replace the shocks and will now need to replace the Constant Velocity joints.
General comments?
This has been a fantastic car. It's the 4-door wagon with V-6 engine. I use it daily, and consider it completely reliable. It's very quick, quiet, comfortable, and reliable. I'd buy another one like it in a heartbeat (if they had one available). Too bad, they phased the wagons out. I regularly get 29 miles to the gallon, and have never been stranded by a breakdown.
