1994 Toyota Camry review from North America
"This car is the commuting appliance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake caliper seized at 158000.
Exhaust system leaked at flexible tube before catalytic converter.
Engine mounts needed replacement at 135,000 miles.
Interior plastic trunk and gas lid release levers broke.
Rear strut / suspension developed noise, but function.
Leather head cushions in rear seats developed strange staining.
General comments?
It is so reliable and well designed it is actually boring.
The oil filter is incredibly convenient; so are the four spark plugs.
