1990 Toyota Camry DX review from North America

Over the last 7 years, my Camry has only required the manufacturer's specified maintainence.

At 210,000 miles, I am having to replace the lower control arm bushings. Other than that, I have had no trouble with the car.

I have always performed all maintainence at the manufacturer's recommendations at the local dealer where the car was sold new.

My only complaint is the body. after observing the 1987-1991 Camrys, I have come to the conclusion that all American production Camrys are prone to rust on the rear quarter panels over the wheels. Those made in Japan generally do not unless damaged in a collision.

As the editors of several auto magazines have stated: the Camry does everything exceptionally well.

It is exceedingly reliable, comfortable, and performs well.

I absolutely love my Camry. After 7 years of having it, I could never give it up. When the control arm bushings went bad, I contemplated trading it in, but could not. After a very rough day, I decided to fix it and that I would never think of getting rid of it again.

In my opinion, the 87-91 Camrys are nearly perfect. only the 1999-2002 Japanese home market Crown sedans rival its near perfection. An ideally styled/designed car. They don't make'em like this any more.
