1990 Toyota Camry review from North America

"A solid ride that will last forever"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Within the first week of owning the car, it had to have $800 in mechanical work to replace a computerized "brain" and an ignition coil The mechanic who did the repairs told me the car repairs were simply due to normal wear, and the car was as solid as they come and should run another 100,000 miles with only basic maintenance and wear-and-tear replacements (tires, brake pads, etc.) He was absolutely right!

General comments?

I've driven many newer model cars in the same general class as the Camry, and none have had the solid, well-built feel that my Camry does.

Manual transmission became less smooth as the car aged, but was still completely functional. Never replaced any parts related to the clutch.

The car has a comfortable, stable ride, even with its original shocks and struts.

In my experience, most Toyota's with over 100K miles have a tendency to burn and leak oil. This is relatively minor, and sealant helps.
