Great Mileage! Great Car! - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Jim - December 9 - 12:30 pmThis is a great car. I drove it the first year in DC. I now live in Germany. It is rock-solid at autobahn speeds and quieter than the Audi 80. We drove to Paris last weekend and, not wanting to have to buy gas at French prices, we kept the speed at 63MPH (100 KPH). We got 34 miles per gallon! This is not the only time that I have confirmed the advertised MPG. Mine is a 5 speed w/ the 4cyl engine. The only complaint I have is the rear spoiler. It makes backing up difficult; cant see over the darn thing. If I had the choice I would have left the spoiler at the showroom. The only maintenance problem was an elec lock on one of the rear pass doors. Toyota dealer fixed it at no cost.

perfect blend - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Zipit - December 8 - 10:00 amAccord is too conservative on the exterior design, but built solid; Altima is bit agressive on styling, but little thin on interior layout. The SE is just the right touch, Lexus styling, foglight, spoiler, quiet engine as what you expect from Toyota, what a blend! Manual 5sp would have been ultimate, because I have never driven any 5sp shifting so smoothly close to automatic as SE. Dashboard design is suprisingly more American, spacious cabin and trunk only sustain the point. SE just makes it stands out of Camry family with all the right touches. Proud to own

whine in 4 cyl engine - 2003 Toyota Camry
By w gale - December 8 - 10:00 amgreat car--beware of noticable engine whine around 1600-1650 rpm-dealer says Im the third one this month to complain about it --says they dont know what to do about it-whine is quite noticable and very annoying in such a quiet car. I would probably have paid the extra money for the v6 (assuming that it wouldnt also have the whining noise) I intend to contact toyota and see what they have to say about it. very distressing in an otherwise great car.

No Regrets - But..... - 2003 Toyota Camry
By bballbm - October 14 - 2:00 amI have no regrets about my purchase of the XLS Camry. The ONLY problem I have had is the breaks. The only way to describe the problem is by saying the breaks are comparable to manual breaks. VERY HARD peddle with little reaction. Dealer has told me twice that it is just a typical "TOYOTA" breaking system. I dont buy it. That said, I love everythging else about the car. It has respectable handling, enough power (only got the V4), and the interior and exterior are very pleasing. Would highly recommend. The breaking issue is an isolated thing I am sure.

Roomy & Zoomy - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Paul Feldmann - August 27 - 2:00 amIve driven Toyotas for many years but this is the first one Ive ever owned. The exterior styling is classy and the interior is roomy and quiet. Sound and reception from the optional JBL stereo is excellent. The best sound however comes from the 4 cyl. engine. Its got plenty of zoom and revs to the redline without a hint of vibration. Overall Im extremely pleased with this vehicle.

The Absolute BEST car that Ive ever owned - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Jim Prendible - August 24 - 7:35 amMy Camry has been the most reliable, maintenance free car Ive ever owned. My first repair came at a little over 200k miles. Had to replace the starter. Were now at 235k and have only spent +/- $1,500 in all. When this one finally goes, well probably get another.

2003 Camry SE - 2003 Toyota Camry
By mac0s9user - August 11 - 2:03 amI am a Toyota mechanic and this is the car I trained on . I saw how well it was built and all the redundant systems and had to buy one. Got mine last year and at 80,000 now am having no problems. Brakes are getting due but for me thats only like $200. Best value for the money. I am adding different aftermarket headlights for originality but other than that its perfect!

Love My Black Walnut SE - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Sears - August 7 - 10:00 amI bought my Camry SE a short time ago and am thrilled. I went shopping for the best 4 cylinder vehicle on the market and found it! Smooth, strong, quiet, powerful engine. Silken transmission. Great sport suspension and leather steering wheel. My wife and teen son love the interior and the JBL stereo. I love the color--BLACK WALNUT-- a manly, rare, underrated hue. All this, plus ABS, aluminum wheels, 24 mpg, and monster trunk, for less than $21,000. Booyah! Drove the Accord, RSX and others first; then bought the right car. I sit tall in my Camry at 61"; great view fore and aft. A rip racer that doubles as a sedan. Go get one!

The best family car anyone can buy - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Hassan - August 3 - 10:00 amThe camry is truly the best family sedan anyone can buy, becuase it has great etractive design and it is very comfortable on road or highway. And toyotas reliability is outstanding. Sorry honda but your accord just did not get my vote on family sedan. J.D power and associates just named toyota and lexus the best name brands of any car manufacturer. In my eyes and other people the camry beats the accord again.
