1997 Toyota Camry CE review from North America
"The most reliable car there is.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with my Camry. At 107k miles, I trust it even more than I did when it was newer.. This is not a comfortable ride.. After about 5 hours of driving, one has no feeling from the waist down, its like sitting on a concrete block..Also, it's a little hard keeping the windshield from fogging up from the inside.I've tried numerous combinations of defrost and heat and air, but it just dosent seem to work.. These are minor problems on this otherwise miraculously reliable car..
General comments?
Fabulous reliability.. Love the 40 miles per gallon gas mileage, and the brakes never wear out... I know my Camry is always ready to go, in any weather, from sub-subzero to driving pouring rain... I feel safe in this car, ans another plus is that its sort of anonymous.. One can travel alone and no one really looks at your car,because its very generic and I love that about it.. I travel alone a lot, and don't want to attract attention...
