  • solid car - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Bought mine in 2007 with 6k on it. This has been an excellent car, best Ive owned, but also the lowest mileage. It now has 76k on it. No issues, and a consistently great performing car. I put TripleTread tires on and it does awesome in the rain now. I too love the steering wheel radio controls, cruise works great, great visibility. And Ill share a condensed story: was passing a car on a two-lane one day.. punk kid thought hed be cute and not let me get around. I punched it hard and took off like a rocket, from 60mph, quickly jumping to 100mph! left him in the dust. This from a 4 cyl! Ive wanted to trade it in several times for something sportier, but cant bring myself to do it yet.

As far a reliability I know when my wife has to drive somewhere by herself I know she is getting behind the wheel of a high quality car that she can depens on and be safe. Thank you Toyota for building a great product.

  • A Great Car to Own - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought the Toyota Camry for my Real Estate business. I have put on 30,000 miles in one year. The car is problem free and stands up to the highway. It is easy to drive and comfortable to ride in. The Camry is a great car for commuting or on the open highway. I only had to replace a tire which was ruined by a nail. The gas mileage has been usually 30-34mpg. On my first trip to Texas in the car, I actually got 37 mpg since I had the cruise control set. I have had the car serviced on time and have had no mechanical difficulties other than the flat tire. The 4 cyl engine packs a lot of power and the 5 speed transmission adds to the great performance of this car. It is a 10.

  • Quantum Leap - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    From a 1997 Ford Taurus to a 2005 Camry. Well what can I say. We are not looking back. Just a rock solid car with a well thought out design. Matches or beats all the big three and has great resale value.

    Overall this is a great car. Its comfortable to drive and gets good mpg for a V6. Transmission downshifts somewhat harsh at lower speeds. No repairs in over 2 years. Wish I could have waited for a 2006.

  • I love it! - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I just bought this car a month ago and I just love it. The car is incredibly quiet and easy to drive. In addition, the drivers seat is extremely comfortable. I used to get a lot of lower back pains when driving my old car, especially when sitting in traffic after getting out of work everyday, well, ever since I got my new car, I dont feel any more back pains. The different seat controls for the drivers side gives you so many options that its just impossible not to be comfortable. I also enjoy the space inside the car. Even though, Im a petite person, I usually have tall people driving with me and they feel very comfortable in the car.

  • Its the Little things! - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    40K miles, 4years old... Rear Speakers cracked and fell apart, into the speaker last year. Really hard to clean out, radio buzzes when bass plays. Toyota doesnt replace part. Bad design! Had to buy new covers. Door remote no longer works. Can only get into the car by driver side. Very hard with 2 young children in car seats. $800-$1000 to replace at Toyota Dealer. Safety hazard that should be covered by the company...its not. Other than those issues I like the car very much. Its the little annoying things that just add up.

  • Transmission problems - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Ever since I purchased my Toyota, I have had problems with the transmission wanting to downshift when going down a hill, and also not wanting to shift up when accelerating on the highway. The front dashboard has begun to pop up little air bubbles underneath the layer of vinyl covering it.

  • Shocking Experience - 2005 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Purchased the car on a Monday; found over 20 significant/serious defects such as front end misalignment, severe vibration, chipped paint, misaligned doors and many others. Dealership manager graciously exchanged the vehicle the following week. Second car is a lot better; smooth like a Toyota should be.Still has a poor paint job, misaligned doors and an annoying rear suspension "clunk". Fuel economy is 32 highway. Quality is a lot lower than my old 98 Accord, but acceptable. The engineers did an excellent job with the design but the factory floor (made in US) rendition of the design is deplorable.Options are over priced.
