Faults:

Radiator and cap needed replacement at 105,000 miles.

Water pump gave out at 121,000 miles.

Radiator, cap, and locked-open thermostat (due to over-heating) had to be replaced, again, at 121,000 miles.

General Comments:

I think this car handles very well and is a smooth and comfortable ride, especially on long trips. Has some unexpected pep to it, when you need it.

It is not as tight on hard and fast curves as I'd like it... gets a little fishy, like the suspension needs some tightening. I had it checked out and was told it is just car design.

Lots of interior room and trunk space, despite its size.

Great car for young couples to start out with and accommodates a growing family very nicely. Easy to clean interior.

Good stereo sound and very comfortable seats. Safe to drive, with good line-of-sight around the car.

Over-drive button and cruise control are added bonuses, as is the great gas mileage.

Seat adjustments, interior room and configuration make this car comfy to drive for small (5'2"/101 lbs.) people like me, as well as taller people with longer legs.

All power windows/locks/radio/speakers/antenna work with no glitches. Everything has worn well, including all vinyl, steering wheel, carpet, seats, etc.

I would recommend this car to anyone... I love it!

Faults:

The head gasket was replaced after 85,000 miles.

I had a complete new engine dropped shortly afterward. I was told by a Toyota dealership that the previous owner hadn't used the right type of oil, or had not changed it frequently.

General Comments:

I love everything about my 1996 Toyota Camry, and even though I admire the new 2006 model, I will keep mine since I have a one year old engine in it. I cannot think of anything that I don't like about it, since it is comfortable and handles well, and requires very little maintenance compared to the previous cars that I have owned.

Faults:

"Taillight out" light started coming on randomly at about 75000 miles for no reason.

Transmission is worrying me. It jumps at about 40 miles per hour and 60mph. It'll have a hard time reaching 65 miles per hour, for instance, then it'll very suddenly jump from 60 to 65.

Low ground clearance, speed bumps usually hit the undercarriage, and no, I don't fly through them.

General Comments:

It has general wear and tear, but I definitely don't regret buying it.

I'm a college student and this is definitely an A to B car. No frills and it doesn't take off when you floor, because it is 10 years old, but it is pretty reliable and gets the job done.

Fabulous gas mileage. I drive mostly highway and I get about 35 miles per gallon. It has a pretty big gas tank- 18.5 gallons.

Surprisingly large trunk.

It's overall comfortable.

I had to pay for it myself after freshman year and got my money's worth. Can't say the women flock to it, but that's not why I bought the car.
