1998 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"The best there is from the best there is."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 56600 (acquisition mileage), the car needed several valves and manifolds cleaned, and other odds and ends either tightened or replaced.
Brakes are loud (although dealer says nothing is wrong with them)
General comments?
This car is one of the most comfortable cars we've ever owned. The seats are comfortable, there is ample storage space, massive leg room in the back, and an overall luxuriously smooth ride. While this car isn't as smooth as a Cadillac, it is definitely comparable to the Lexus ES 300 for the model year. We've had no major reliability problems, except for some loud brakes. Toyota again lives up to their reputation for quality with this vehicle. If I may say so, save $10,000, bypass the Lexus ES 300, and get its equal in comfort (and styling really; each looks very down to earth), the Toyota Camry. This car just doesn't let you down.
