1991 Toyota Camry CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Mundane, but dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had no mechanical problems, as this car had been serviced well by the previous owner, and by myself.
Inside there are a few rattles, especially in the dash.
The carpet and seats are wearing on the driver side, but this is to be expected with a car this old.
The car still is in one piece (with some slight boot/trunk rust) even after a major rear-ender accident. This cost the insurance company $5500, and an Ex-Cop his license (driving whilst under the influence).
General comments?
The Camry is a car suited to someone who is happy not to stand out from the crowd.
This vehicle merely performs it duty of transporting driver (& passenger) where they want to go.
No frills travel, but most importantly, no hassles travel.
Mechanically top notch.
Experiences some slightly unsettling body-roll when cornering hard.
