1999 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Besides a Mark IV, the best car I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Persistent plastic buzz in sun visor slide extensions and at the top of the front seat belt assemblies where they connect to the inside of the pillars just aft of the front doors.
General comments?
The car has many addictive qualities. You can't lock your keys in the car or forget about the exterior lights. (Totally automatic) 4 wheel disc's are phenomenal. Rear end hit by high speed vehicle was more than satisfactory. Damage barely noticeable though not cheap to fix by (their) insurance company. If Toyota keeps the quality at current levels or better, I'll buy them forever.
251K and it doesn't burn oil and gas mileage is the same as when new.(Close to the old VW bug on the highway) Starting to leak a little oil, but what machine lasts forever?
