1998 Toyota Camry LE V6 3.0 V6 from North America
Summary:
Great car by a great company
Faults:
Nothing at all.
General Comments:
I got this car secondhand and I've had no problems whatsoever.
The 3.0 V6 engine accelerates smoothly, steering is easy and precise for all those corners, gas pedal not too hard, not to sensitive, braking is precise and smooth. It uses the same engine as in the Lexus ES I believe.
The remote is something I'd like to see redesigned, many times when I put it in my pocket, the buttons are easily pushed, however the car rearms itself after 30 seconds anyways after being unlocked.
Radio/tape deck better than average, I find it more than acceptable and one of my hobbies is THX quality sound reproduction.
V6 with overdrive is great for my 0-60 starts, under 6-8 seconds.
Car is pretty smart too. I once forgot to set the parking brake and it wouldn't let go of my keys, thus not letting my out of the car.
Cabin has great muting of outside noise; I can barely tell if my engine is on or not.
Another great feature is no flimsy antenna. The antenna is built into the glass; very nice feature.
Did I mention it is really comfortable?
I highly recommend this car to people who are looking for a cheaper, reliable car, that really saves on gas. Style on these older models aren't exactly teen desirable, however, it has a nice sleek look, enough to turn heads!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You say that you get great gas mileage. How many miles to the gallon are you getting?
