1986 Toyota Camry review from North America
"If this car ever dies I will try to get another 1986 camry"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brakes were grabbing from sitting so long. Easily fixed by pounding with a large hammer and then driving a few hundred miles.
Parking brake cables rusted in place.
Exhaust fell off 2 weeks after I got the car, but that was expected- lots of miles on the car.
General comments?
What an amazing car! It has gobs of power- once it hits 85mph it really starts moving.
Incredible fuel economy out of a 4 door sedan- 35-38mpg on the highway while going considerably above the speed limit.
A bit noisy inside and a crummy factory stereo.
Cruise control still works after 180,000+ miles!
