Nothing. Great car. Only 1500 miles so far though.
I have owned my Camry for one month and could not be happier. The car's ride is incredibly smooth. It looks great and everything is working as it should. No problems, rattles, or anything.
Very quiet. Wind and road noise are practically nonexistent. Only downside is that it's difficult to shift the manual transmission by feel if the radio is on - you can't hear or feel the engine!
The 2.4 L engine is surprisingly responsive for a 4 banger. Cruises nicely at 68 mph / 2600 rpms. Gas mileage is coming in at around 29 mpg combined city and highway use.
They say Camrys are dreadfully boring, and they probably are, but I like the looks and comfort of my 2003.
Your Camry rides smooth because of the "soft" tires on it. Will only last 24,000 miles.
I have recently won an arbitration case against Toyota.
I experienced a vibration in the steering wheel at higher
speeds. The dealer tried five times to correct the problem.
Although the dealer was cooperative, the Toyota corporation was not. They forced me to go to arbitration, which I won.
The lemon law saved me. They were instructed to give me a new car. I have found several Toyota owners with the same problem. My suggestion is to document all attempted repairs and check your owner's manual for the arbitration procedure
that you are entitled to under the lemon law. It works!!!
I've just had a 2003 Camry LE as a rental car from Enterprise on Long Island and wasn't disappointed with it at all. Plenty of room inside and comfortable. Had been expecting a Taurus or other US made banger, but the Camry was okay.
If I rented another car, I would be quite happy to get one again!
No offense intended, but after 1500 miles, you really should not commenting on how great the car is. Your still in new car euphoria. After 15,000 miles maybe, but at 1500 miles, the new car smell is still there. If it can't get through the new car smell without major problems then like "whoa there..."
I test drove a manual Camry at my local dealer a while back. Everything seemed alright to me except for the engine responsiveness. It seems to lag a bit after the pedal's been pressed; not too big of a deal, but I had 80s EFI cars way more responsive than that, and it's very hard to tell how far it will go since the pedal travel was kind of short and the power wasn't coming linearly as the pedal's being depressed. And the RPM drops very quickly while the shifter won't go half as fast. So I had to watch out for the tachometer, re-rev the engine, then engage the clutch... (this happened when I shift around 3K rpm, high tech drive-by-wire..) Does the transmission gets smoother as it breaks in?
Have had my Camry v6 since Nov 2003 and have done 130,000Kms (approx 81,000 Miles) No problems, apart from the radio antenna got swiped by a tree!( I accept responsibility.) A pleasurable drive, smooth, responsive, but not very involving. Have driven it on mostly highways, but feel that on smaller winding roads its body-roll would pose a bit of a problem.
Wind noise to the extent that it virtually feels like a 'bee in the ear' comes in at about 200Km/h (approx. 125 MPH), but it doesn't pose a problem if you don't do that speed (done it once to 'put it through its paces'. All in the name of science!).
The tyres supplied with the car (Yokohama's) did a perfect job. I got them changed at about 75,000Kms(Appro 48,000 Miles) and put on Bridge-stones (still running on them and they still look good). No tyre noise to date.
By the way, I'm writing from the Middle East where the summer climate is harsh (often above 50 degrees cent.) and feel that the car has served well under these conditions.
A satisfied customer who would buy again.
