1998 Toyota Camry LXE review from North America

"To be avoided"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The vehicle was sold as a Toyota Certified Car. It had been in lease service in Michigan. Within a few days after purchase, it was emitting a cloud of blue smoke for a few seconds after start. The dealer replaced the valve stem seals under warranty. It's very odd that I could find no sign of such major work. The dust on the engine was undisturbed. We have always used 5W-30 full synthetic oil; and changed it frequently. Now, again the car shows the same smoke. There is a design defect in the 3 Liter V6.

General comments?

At first glance this is a well detailed car.

It has ample performance for Los Angeles Traffic.

Unfortunately, the quality that Toyota brought to the US market is only a memory.
