2002 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Still regret trading my '93"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shifter felt like it was gravel.
Wet weather traction leaves something to be desired.
General comments?
I traded in my '93 camry on a Grand Cherokee and regret it to this day. My '03 camry has tons of room, but I think that it's weight hurts it's performance. It doesn't seem any quicker than my '93 and in the rain it takes effort to not spin the tires when turning from a stop.
Overall I love this car, just not as much as my previous Camry. Everything about this car is adequate, but my other one seemed to fit like a glove and handle everything I could throw at it.
Only problem was my shifter was like a stick in gravel. It was replaced by a local dealership and has improved but still could not be called smooth.
