1995 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"The best blend of reliability and comfort/quality with top of the line engineering"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong,
General comments?
Since I bought the car in spring this year I used only 93 octane, but I just realized that the engine is not running hot enough to burn the 93 and the compression ratio is not high enough, so I switched to 87 (recomm. by dealer) last week, and guess what? no shaking, no vibration, the mixture is burned properly. It has 107K and still no smoke (only at cold start, 2-3 seconds, which is acceptable at this mileage), no problems, no noise or vibration, not one spot of rust, Yeah, I change Castrol SynTec every 3,000 miles, plus filter and flush, perfect timing and ignition. Now somebody show me a "domestic" car (not highly modified muscle cars) for example a Taurus, or Explorer, Cavalier, etc. that can do this. Pretty rare, huh?
Yeah, so what's wrong with Toyota?
Japanese power!
