Faults:

Alternator went out at about 168,000 miles.

New radiator and fan needed at about 171,000.

Needed new brakes at about 180,000.

Car was broken into when previously owned and the driver-side power locks are quirky.

General Comments:

Great car. The V-6 has a lot of pickup.

Milage is good for a V-6/automatic. On the highway I regularly get about 28 or 29 miles per gallon.

Only real complaint is that with the sunroof, the headroom is lowered considerably (I'm 6'2" so this is an issue for me!).

These are great cars which last forever if you take care of them. My father has an 86 Camry with 234,000 miles which shows no signs of stopping.

Faults:

Nothing has gone bad with the car except the brake pads which were changed at 110,000 miles.

I also changed the tires at 112,000 miles and wiper-blades at 115,000 miles.

My Camry doesn't have a dent or a rust spot and it has a good looking color that I painted back. The color of the paint was Metallic Candy Apple Red.

General Comments:

This car is quick, accelerates very fast, handles around turns, curves and corners very well. Most times on the highway I run it at 85 miles per hour unless there are cops around.

Faults:

Very few. I had the timing belt replaced (and the water pump, timing belt tensioner, and all belts) replaced at 90,000 miles as a maintenance item. I've replaced the brakes at about 30,000 mile intervals, two sets of tires, and most recently had to replace the shocks and will now need to replace the Constant Velocity joints.

General Comments:

This has been a fantastic car. It's the 4-door wagon with V-6 engine. I use it daily, and consider it completely reliable. It's very quick, quiet, comfortable, and reliable. I'd buy another one like it in a heartbeat (if they had one available). Too bad, they phased the wagons out. I regularly get 29 miles to the gallon, and have never been stranded by a breakdown.

Faults:

Window strip: generates noise.

I had my thermostat went bad on 120,000 miles.

General Comments:

Very reliable, only replaced the tires two times, and the muffler two times.

Faults:

Rusty rear fender wells.

General Comments:

The most reasonable 4WD for upkeep.

Gets you home in mountainous Canadian winters without 'chains.'

Runs (almost) forever with just regular maintenance!

Don't tell anyone else about this little gem.

Faults:

4 x tyres.

Complete exhaust set due to age.

2 x battery.

General Comments:

This car has been outside since new and has no rust at all.

Cery reliable, always starts the first time in any weather.

Very economic too: 7.5l/100km.

My previous one was a Corolla bought new in 1980 and sold in 1989 with 85,000km on the clock. This one had much rust, but was also completely reliable.

Very good cars.

Faults:

Power steering hose broke once.

CV joint broke while driving.

Had to replace one distributor wire recently and 6 spark plugs.

Besides these, only regular maintenance done.

General Comments:

Once of the best cars around, very reliable and comfortable.

Excellent power even after 11 years on the road and 142,000 miles!

Very smooth ride!!

Camrys forever!

Faults:

The car was absolutely fine before my brother began driving it. Ever since my brother set his hands behind the wheel, everything just went wrong. There were oil leaks and the engine stalls. Finally, the car broke down while my brother was driving it in the middle freeway and it died there. The car would have lasted forever if it wasn't for my brother.

General Comments:

It's a great car as long as you keep it away from stupid and aggressive drivers.

Faults:

I got the car when it was seven years old, and now it's ten. In the 3 years I've had it, I've only had to replace the muffler and get the brakes done. In the last few months it's lost some power. It kicks a little when it changes gear. But considering these are the only problems it has at its age, I'm quite satisfied.

General Comments:

The most reliable car you can get, no doubt. This one won't leave you stranded.

Faults:

Spark plug wires at 90,000 miles, brakes at 110,000 miles, that's it!

General Comments:

Great car.
