2001 Toyota Camry LE V6 V6

Summary:

Worth the money and investment

Faults:

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the car. However, I did notice the wobbling like the comments I just read. I think new rims would help, however I had the roters cut and it drives so smoothly.

General Comments:

I would never buy any other make of car, except Toyota ever again. My last car was a Corolla, it had over 110,000 miles on it. The only reason I still don't have it is because someone hit my car.

2001 Toyota Camry LE 4 Cylinder

Faults:

Fishtails dangerously in the snow.

General Comments:

This car fishtails easily and completely out of control in the snow. I had a bad accident with it fishtailing on a very gentle curve!

Consumers Reports and Edmunds.com also report problems with control of the rear end of late-model Camrys in their road tests. Earlier models do not seem to have this problem; it seems to be reported only with the late models of Camrys.

If you live in snow, this car is not for you!

Summary:

Affordable luxury

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I have only owned my 2001 Toyota Camry LE for a short time, but I am extremely pleased.

My favorite feature is that the Camry glides like a Lexus. It was very noticeable as I drove off the lot.

The inside is very roomy and the seats are very comfortable. The lumbar support is great.

The stereo sounds very clear and emits high quality sound.

Special weather stripping on the windows minimizes outside noise, so it is extremely quiet. It also runs very quietly.

I own a 2002 Camry, and I thought it drove very smoothly. Then I realize it was the tires. They are very soft and only good for 24,000 miles. Service Department gave me this news.

A note on soft tire rubber. Soft rubber will not soften the ride. This will increase grip for handling, but will not "soften the ride". Who ever told you this is auto shop "1-0-1".

Maybe he was talking about low air pressure in the tires, making them "soft" and not the softer rubber used for winter tires.

Forget the tyres. Cars of this size just gove a smooth ride. end of story.

2001 Toyota Camry CE

Summary:

Lemon

Faults:

We purchased a 2001 Camry in April of 2001. Immediately after we purchased it we realized we had a problem. The car sputters and kills when you try to start it. Toyota acknowledges that the 2001 Camrys have a "Cold Start" problem. They have replaced the computer, spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel regulator, fuel pump and cleaned the engine. Nothing has worked... they are now resorting to making up lame reasons for my car's problem. Quotes from the Toyota Engineer include... "It's the gas in the south"..."It sat in the garage too long" (one day). "There was a change in the weather"...

So, apparently I have a Camry that I can't put gas in or I'll need to move to the north to drive or need to cover with a blankie.

I went back to Toyota of Slidell to trade it in and the General Sales Manager vowed he would take care of it. His version of taking care of it was to offer me "fair" blue book value for my 8 month old Camry - $11,000 - I still owe $16,000 - not to worry - he was going to allow me to refinance the remaining $5,000. He also offered me quite a deal on a new Sienna - just $100 over invoice. What a guy! He sure took care of me and my family. Thanks Toyota of Slidell.

General Comments:

Before buying a Toyota, you need to investigate. I am not the only person who has a Camry that doesn't want to start. Sadly, my problem pales in comparison to the problems some 2002 Camry and Sienna owners are facing - their engines are catching fire. Visit the National Highway Safety Transportation site - look under problems then consumer complaints.

Your sputtering problem reminds me of my 1989 Toyota Tercel which sputtered and stalled. When I moved North, the problem went away. I was satisfied with it overall though.

I bought a 2001 Camry and so far it has been a good car.

The ride is exceptional and I really enjoy it! The most annoying thing is the gas cap. If you tighten it enough a check light comes on. When that happens you have to pay the dealer to reset it for you. I don't like how the automatic transmission seems to shift too much. It's been a reliable car which I can expect from Toyota.

I don't think I'll ever go back to American cars. I believe the quality problems of American cars are a direct result of labor unions.
