2002 Toyota Camry 3.0 V6 CDX review from UK and Ireland
"All you could want from a car, and more!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car has been a joy to own. It is the most comfortable car I have ever driven with fantastically comfortable leather seats and a super smooth ride. It is quiet and possibly the most refined car this side of a Rolls Royce. Handling is a little soft and wallowy, but it is still very sure-footed.
The V6 engine provides lots of power and the auto gearbox is super smooth. The mechanicals are doubtless very tough and will be capable of a very high mileage. I think with only 35,000 miles on the clock my car is barely broken in.
Some say it looks bland, but I think its sweeping lines are classy and elegant. It is a great shame that the Camry is not more popular in the UK as it is a very underrated car.
Lots of standard equipment including electric seats and climate control and one of the best stereos I have ever sampled.
The only negative point about this car I can think of is the running costs. It is a bit heavy on fuel (24mpg), but I think it's worth it. The worst aspect of the running costs is depreciation. It's value drops like a stone.
The pros definitely outweigh the cons though and I would buy another.
