General Comments:

Awesome car.

Never had any major problems.

Still running strong at 230,000 miles.

Interior still looks brand new.

Has never broken down in the 100,000 miles that I have driven it.

Had CV boot crack and leak, but the leak was extremely slow, and from the time I found out about it to the time I had the money to fix it (several months), it never caused any problems.

When the TPS started going out, it was several months before my problem actually interfered with the drivability of this vehicle.

No problems ever with the transmission or engine.

Spark plugs still original until I replaced them at over 200,000 miles.

Great gas mileage about 27 miles/gal in town, and up to 32 miles/gal highway.

Faults:

Seatbelt reels are starting to become noisy and lock up often for no reason. This is not a safety concern, as they perform their duty perfectly well.

Had to replace leaky coolant bottle the week after I bought the car. It was relatively cheap to buy from the dealer.

A few minor squeaks, but it is 13 years old so who cares?

Bad seal in the tail light, where it mounts to the luggage compartment lid. Water gets into the light sometimes, then pours into the luggage compartment when the lid is up.

Hoodlining (ceiling fabric) is beginning to fall down in places.

General Comments:

For a family sedan, the Camry is incredibly economical. Tank is 70 Litres, and I get almost 800km from a full tank on a long trip. Runs nicely on ethanol blend fuel, too.

Build quality could have been better, but it's way above Commodores and Falcons of the same age. Plastics are well finished and last a long time.

It's fun to drive! I'm sure you don't believe me, but it's quite punchy and flexible through the gears. Engine feel and sound is not unpleasant.

I also like the clean styling of the body.

Faults:

I don't know where to start, but here it goes:

Replaced all suspension, $750 (would bounce all over the road).

Timing belt installed, $300.

Rack and pinion, $650.

All engine mounts, $500 (how do all of them need replacing at once?)

Rear door inside "broke off" door replaced, $250.

Air con re-gas, $300.

General Comments:

One month after I had those things done, now the auto is playing up, and it's leaking coolant. Also don't drive it to fast because the wind will blow the paint right off the car!

The cabin is made of cheap plastic and is easily sun damaged.

The engine is dangerously slow when the car is full of people and hard to work on.

I bought the car for Toyota reliability, and that is the last thing I've had with this car.
