1992 Toyota Camry SE review from North America
"Excellent value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield cracked around 145000 miles spent $170, timing belt and water pump needed replacement at 156000 miles spent $300, hood latch and hood cable needed repair at 152000 miles, spent $150. Regular oil changes every 3000 miles is all that I have done.
General comments?
I have a Toyota Camry SE, six cylinder, 3.0-liter engine, 5-speed manual transmission, which develops around 185 bhp. The car has been very good performer, I have owned a few other cars, Buick lesabre, Mazda 626, Subaru legacy to name a few. I always have enjoyed owning different cars and making my own assessment as to how they perform. Thus far, I am very pleased with the performance of my Camry; the car feels very strong and well built. The quality of craftsmanship is very high. The road holding of the car is good even on wet surfaces. The car is very reliable, but parts can be expensive to replace. My car has a very tight steering also the brakes are not as efficient as on other cars, I will have to take it to a dealer to get things sorted out. I plan to ride this car for some more time and enjoy it. This is highly recommended car for anybody looking for power and reliability at a very affordable price. Overall, an excellent value for money spent.
