2002 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder

Summary:

Runs and feels like new

Faults:

No mechanical issues.

General Comments:

We own a 1995 Camry LE with 225,000 so it was an easy decision to buy this one.

The 2002 is tight, smooth, quiet and runs beautiful. Great passing power, spunky for a 4 cyl. Comfortable seats front and back for everyone (husband is a big man).

Front wheel drive handles great on the snow and ice.

Roomy trunk.

Absolutely no complaints with this car.

2002 Toyota Camry SE 3.0

Summary:

Not great, but better than an Accord

Faults:

Some transmission problems. As a high mileage driver (4000 per week) it can really hold you back.

General Comments:

The V6 is much nicer than the one that was in my '03 Accord, but I think that my '07 Optima's I4 blows them away.

The seats were better than Accord, better gas mileage, much cheaper overall ownership.

I would buy another Camry over an Accord, but I don't think I'll every buy anything but Kia again.

2002 Toyota Camry XLE 6 cylinder.

Summary:

I would recommend this car to anyone, and would buy another one myself

Faults:

The steering wheel would squeak when it was turned very far. I took it to the dealership and they did some five minute minor adjustment and the squeak was gone. About a year later it returned. Same repair experience.

An air bag was replaced due to a recall.

Other repairs have been very minor.

General Comments:

This is my fourth Camry XLE in about 25 years. I had one other car, an Infinity I-35 during that period. The Camrys have performed very well and had almost no repairs to speak of. I keep buying them because of the really good reliability.

They have also had a great resell/trade-in value when I decided to get a new automobile.

The leather seats do show a fair amount of wear even though they do not get abused and usually I am the only person in the car.

One of the best points about this car is that it uses regular grade of gasoline. With today's high gas prices this is a blessing.

2002 Toyota Camry LE V6

Summary:

A great car

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

We have been driving more than 100,000 miles with our Camry since we bought it 2002.

We drove it from west coast to east coast, from south to north. We have never, EVER, experienced a single problem.

If anyone had problems the problem it is not always the car manufacturer, but the way some people take care and drive their cars. They should evaluate their own behavior before claiming that Toyota is junk.

I have heard so many stories about Ford and other so called American made cars and their problems, so that it is much more trouble than any Japanese car.

I heard recently about a Toyota that has been running over 450,000 miles without any problems except normal maintenace. How many American cars can do that, folks! No, the problem is not Camry or Toyota, the biggest problem is usually the owner. If you do not take care of your car, do not expect it will last more than few weeks. That is the truth. Japanese quality is really quality with a capital Q. I think the proof is standing on our drive way right now.

2002 Toyota Camry LE 2.4L

Summary:

Very reliable.. very gas efficient

Faults:

Nothing really went wrong with this car... I bought it used, and I put about 15000 miles on it in one year, and all that I am doing is changing the oil (synthetic blend) every 3000-4000 miles.

General Comments:

It's extremely gas efficient on highways... I drove this car from Houston to Denver, which is a little over 1100 miles on 2 tanks of gas... I just couldn't believe it... It holds 17 gallons per tank, so the average mile per gallon is about 31-32.

I love it.. I am planning on keeping it for another 3 years, and then getting one of those new 2007 Camrys.
