  You Asked for it, you got it Toyota! - 2002 Toyota Camry
  By America63 - December 25 - 2:00 am

  For approximately 22,000 dollars, the redesigned Camry (XLE) is as big inside as a Cadillac, comes with all of them amentities, yet comes with a sporty and somewhat firm ride. Combination highway/city driving yielded an impressive 23 mpg in the first month of driving. The JBL CD is excellent, and all controls are logically placed and easily within reach. You cant go wrong with this one! P.S. It looks even better than its expensive counterpart, the Avalon. In fact, Id call it a "Pre-Lexus."

  Franks Opinion - 2002 Toyota Camry
  By fgaydafrank - December 14 - 1:23 pm

  This is the 12th new vehicle (5 of the others were also Toyota"s) that Ive purchased new over the past 22 years, and it appears that this car is going to be the cream of the crop!! Although Ive only put about 4500 miles on the car in 5 months.

  THE SOFA ON WHEELS - 2002 Toyota Camry
  By j.d. - November 12 - 2:00 am

  I feel like I have just kicked back on my lazyboy recliner and went site-seeing. I paid a lot more for the car over the accord but it is so worth it. I had the best salesman (Jay thank you!) at Toyota World of Lakewood. Toyota knows how to treat customers which made it easy to buy this Camry!

  Very quiet car - 2002 Toyota Camry
  By bliss - November 7 - 10:00 am

  I have been extremely impressed with how quiet the car is. On rough roads as with all cars that I have driven road noise increases. On smooth roads this car is as quiet as any car on the road- no engine noise even at 80mph. having driven the 2002 Nissan altima and the VW passat the toyota is clearly the most quiet car. The interior trim is much more refined than the Nissan. The new 4 cly. engine is smooth and refined. All in All a great car!

  Its a keeper - 2002 Toyota Camry
  By pat - October 12 - 1:10 pm

  Our toyota camry was the first foreign? car to come into our household. it wont be the last. My husband is so impressed by the workmanship and reliability. The only negative was the tires that came on it new. They only lasted about 12,000 miles. Not enough for our sedate type of driving. We replaced them with michelins and have had no further problems.

  Got this car about two weeks back. I test drove Accord and Jetta. I love its smooth run, good handling and almost noiseless engine. It is very comfortable and fun .

  Satisfied - 2002 Toyota Camry
  By redhatgranny - August 9 - 9:56 pm

  Enjoy driving my Camry around town and on the highway. Bought the car new in 2002 and purchased the extra warranty which I have not had to use. Like the electric seats and lumbar support which can be adjusted during long trips. Gas mileage corresponds to suggested average 25/30. Replaced the tires with 80,000 mile warrantied so Im set to drive for 100,000 miles.

  Purchased in Kissimmee, FL with 179K miles - 2002 Toyota Camry
  By Darren Tomas Jackson - August 3 - 7:25 pm

  If you locate a 2002 2.4 liter SE with more than 170k miles on it.., that has a condensation visual appearance exhaust, BUY IT! You wont go wrong. These motors are pretty much bullet proof, besides the normal replacement of worn engine parts, batteries, tires and struts. The owner of my Camry always kept Amsoil in every sump the car had..., including the coolant. I truly appreciate this, for this is why I made the purchase. The previous owner obviously knew the importance of quality lubes (synthetic) and other chemicals. I took a leak down test of the vehicle, before I actually purchased it, and without going through the technical part of things, both the compression rings and cylinder walls revealed that of practically a new car. I expect to get 500k miles out of this little transverse inline 2.4 liter work horse. The car as a whole, endured the punishing heat of Central Florida since 2002, when it was purchased new. The paint in nothing to write home about.., but that engine is build correctly. Im a diesel guy! I own a 7.3 liter Ford Excursion with 236k miles on it. Hardly broken in.., for a diesel that is. I put the 2002 Toyota Camry longevity and reliability on the same platform as my Navistar 7.3 liter diesel. It just that darn dependable!!!! In conclusion, I will keep it on a steady diet of Amsoil 3000 Series HD Diesel motor oil. The drain interval for me is 25k, so all you have to do is change the oil filter every 7k miles, religiously. This is a sound practice that Ive used for more than 15 years, but with the 3000 Series Diesel synthetic oil only. I also own a 1986 Dodge 318ci pick-up with 617K miles on it, using the 3000 series Diesel only. If you come across a 2000-2006 Toyota Camry 2.4 liter..., BUY IT. Itll be the best investment youll ever make. Darren T. Jackson (Chicago, IL)
