1987 Toyota Camry DX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My distributor seal and o-rings had to be replaced, because they leaked at 132,543 miles and the transformer cracked and leaked also.
I did a tune-up and replaced half of the electrical system including the alternator, battery and belts at 136,543 miles.
General comments?
The car has a hard time starting.
The car is very comfortable and pleasant to drive.
Very reliable.
However it lacks power. Despite some reviews that rave about power, in my opinion the power is just not there. Factory rating puts it at 11.5 sec for 0-60, which is not very impressive at all. Fact: A Geo will beat you to 60 mph a second faster.
However despite my little complaint, the Camry is still a great car that was built to last. Very low maintenance, super reliable and cheap!
