Tire blew out at 3500 miles
numerous rattles
brakes very mushy
unpredictable acceleration and hesitation.
Use care when accelerating especially into heavy traffic. plan ahead
Good lighting at night
poor visibility especially in the rear
center shift console takes up too much room.
Yet another poster complaining mostly about problems that would have been evident on a five minute test drive.
A lot of people who buy Camrys do not even shop around for other models like an Accord or Altima so they will have to learn to bit the bullet and drive vanilla and slow.
Welcome to the Wonderful World of "Toyota Quality". The Ford Fusion would have cost much less and had NONE of the problems you encountered. It's also rated better in reliability than Camry or Accord (not to mention the disastrously unreliable Nissans). Sorry you fell for ad hype and myths.

How is the Camry slow? It has 0 - 60 times that would have been considered exceptional just 20 years ago.
And I would check the 0 - 60 times of all these wonderful SUVs. Heck, the "small" LR3 (Freelander replacement) only does 0 -60 in about 9 seconds, while sucking a ton of gas.

Comparing a plain-Jane commuter sedan to a luxury SUV? What is the point of that? People who buy SUVs and trucks don't care the slightest about 0-60 times, unless they buy a Hemi Grand Cherokee.

Well, the reality is you're right.
BUT on all these boards where SUVs are brought up all the pro-SUV posters keep saying is how slooooooow these "imports" are and it's simply not the case.
I have a 103 hp manual Aveo and I blow everyone away at the light. Not because my car is fast, but because these SUV drivers are too busy on the phone or checking their makeup. They don't care about going fast or handling or any of the other claims people here make.
The Porche Cayenne especially Turbo and the Chevrolet 395 hp 2007 SS Trail Blazer SUV owners certainly care... otherwise we would buy the sluggish models.
SUV's are not all slow. There is no car in Honda or Toyota's entire line that will come close to a Trailblazer SS or Hemi Durango in acceleration. Even the basic inline 6 Trailblazer is faster 0-60 than the '06 Camry's with the V-6.
As for fuel mileage, no SUV does very well, but the basic Trailblazers, Envoys and Rainiers will best the Highlander V-6 in fuel economy as well as blowing it off the road in sheer performance.
What the hell are you guys arguing for? I wouldn't even consider looking at a Toyota, simply because it's very unsafe, iihs. org tells you all the facts, on safety issue, the Camry or Corolla perform much worse than average (average means all cars on the market), it's like a plastic wrapped car, why you buy it? You do not respect to your life?

SUVs make up 60% of US car sales and you're worried about Camrys? Please.

Posting some propaganda means nothing. I could send you a million links about all the deaths from US vehicles including a large portion of SUVs. And even your prejudiced link clearly states the Camry has a five star crash rating.
Toyota Camry is really bland and I agree with the poster who said the Fusion is cheaper and doesn't have problems. I used to buy Japanese cars, but now they are too over rated and they are not so affordable anymore. I have not owned a Camry, but I have owned a 2003 Accord, but I've seen camrys, THEY LOOK TERRIBLE! ESPECIALLY THE 2007 ONE THAT I'm GETTING FROM WORK (I HAVE TO PICK IT UP BY NEXT WEEK) YIKES!
Theres a couple people right now having issues with this same model on Car Survey. There should be no fear only confidence if the vehicle is without reproach. No one manufacturer is perfect and none of them sit idly by year after year. I was once blindsighted buying the same import not once, but again and got burned. My own fault for not looking and buying a brand. Never again. I now own a domestic... I hope others take the time and not be blind and just buy a name.
Like I said, no one here wants to hear about the Ford junk you drive. AGAIN, this site is about the Toyota Camry, so keep telling yourself your domestic car is good, maybe someone somewhere else will believe you. Not here.
Tires blowing out are not the fault of the car.
