2000 Toyota Camry CE 2.2L from North America
Summary:
Great, reliable car for everyday use and vacations
Faults:
Changed timing belt and water pump as part of preventive maintenance at 165,000. The water pump was a rebuilt from a 3rd party mechanic and it gave out at 220,000 - so changed both again. Starting to burn a little oil now.
Replaced the driver's outside door handle. The plastic handle broke off after 175,000 miles on the car.
General Comments:
Great reliable car - has always started even on the cold bitter days. Get 31 mpg overall - even though EPA rating is 29 mpg on the highway.
Acceleration is good - not going to be a 6 cylinder, but definitely has get-up and go. Doesn't mind cruising at high speeds either ;-)
The rear cup holders broke after normal use.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Agreed... My 2000 Camry XLE V6 3.0 has been stellar.
I did need to get the VSV replaced. For those who have weird loss of power symptoms, do check VSV. It was a nightmare to find the source of the problem, and very costly from the dealer after replacing many sensors, they finally found it.
This aside, it is the BEST car I have ever owned..
It requires nothing but fuel.
OK, and regular oil changes... but that's it..
I will buy another!!
