1990 Toyota Camry LE V6 review from North America
"A very safe car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was little leakage of the power steering fluid, so I had to carry the bottle of ATF Dextron with me for the long trips. But I guess that was just some hose leaking though.
General comments?
One day I was going 55 miles/hour on a mountain road in the rainy day. The road was very slippery and I lost control on one of the turns. My car started spinning and hit the heavy concrete barrier that prevents you from rolling down the hill. It completely smashed the car. It is totalled now, but nothing happened to me! I didn't even feel pain first! (I got so scared). The pain came an hour later. The only pain there was from the seat belt (I had no air-bags), and the scratch on the knee when I hit the dash board. But I didn't even break any bones! I thank Toyota engineers for designing such safe car.
