1991 Toyota Camry Ultima review from Australia and New Zealand
"Exceptional comfort and performance for the poor man"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both left and right CV Joints required replacing after becoming rather noisy.
Automatic transmission failed mysteriously and destroyed itself at 195000. $2000+ to fix.
Dealer added warranty wasn't worth the paper it was written on.
General comments?
Car is exceptionally comfortable.
Air conditioning would make an eskimo shiver!
Drives like an Audi or Mercedes at all speeds.
Turning circle like a small truck, due to long wheelbase.
Can handle full loads of people and cargo without serious performance or ride height reductions.
Great visibility with small blindspot.
