2002 Toyota Camry LE review from North America

My car has operated very reliably.

Everything in the car works flawlessly.

The 2.4 liter engine is very smooth and refined for a 4 cylinder. There are V6 engines that aren't as refined as this engine. Very quiet operation too. I love the cariable valve timing feature and drive-by-wire throttle.

The seats are extremely comfortable. They have really good contouring for extended comfort on long trips. These seats lack some lateral support, but that's okay. The Camry is not a sports car and shouldn't be.

This car is very roomy. The placement of the gages and ergonomics is great. The only complaint I have is the audio system is placed a little too far out of the reach of the driver. Steering wheel radio controls would help a lot.

I really enjoy the ride quality that is a hallmark of the Toyota Camry. Whether its tar-strips, potholes, rough roads, the Camry glides over them as if you were riding on air. The handling could be better, and the tires tend to lose their grip a little too easily.

I take my Camry to my local Toyota dealer for maintenance according to the Passport plan. The cost of maintenance at the dealer is a bit high, but the service there and atmosphere is second to none.

Overall, if you want a comfortable, reliable mid-size car, then you can't go any better than Camry.
