  Our 2nd Camry - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By 2nd time Camry - June 20 - 6:46 pm

  I felt after driving home from the dealer ride was hard. Lowered air pressure of tires to 29-30 lbs.for winter driving which helped a lot. I recommend breaking engine in slowly first 1,000 miles. Does slightly hesitate when accelerated from stop position, I think because engine needs to be nursed slowly in beginning. I love everything else about the car. Interior is real sporty and from outside, it has a European look. Low road noise, handles well on turns,and I love those 17 inch wheels.

  My Camry - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By William Jeffers - June 16 - 8:50 pm

  I love it. Ive owned many cars over the past few years. I bought the Camry for its reliability and reputation and am not disappointed. The car is quiet, smooth, comfortable and I can tell its built better then anything Ive ever owned prior to it. Best purchase Ive ever made. I definitely recommend it.

  Smart Choice - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By John74 - May 6 - 4:00 am

  After 5,000 miles in 04, I have to say I love my Camry. It is quiet, confortable, nimble (for a 4 cyl), roomy and very fuel efficient. I use it for my daily commute (80miles/day) and as our main family vehicle. The car averages 29.5mpg/week, half of that being highway miles. Suprisingly, when we traveled from Chicago to Memphis (usually cruising at 75mph) we averaged 38mpg roundtrip! Overall this car has been reliable and a pleasure to drive.

  Roomy sporty Camry SE - Manual - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By SE 5-MT - February 19 - 9:50 am

  First the car is great for the money. Pep, power, acceleration. The downside is turning not as tight as Accord and fabric tends to catch lint. 3M makes special lint guard for autos/boats which should come with black ones. I love to drive to work still, and the the speaker system is balanced quality, just not highly refined Bose like a Maxima. Burns regular and getting 29 MPG on half highway, half city with agressive driving. Get a 5 speed manual and youll have no regrets.

  Excellent sedan - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Henry Regeth - February 10 - 12:16 pm

  Finest auto Ive owned. Looks, handling, finish are all superb. I have never checked actual mileage but know it goes a long way on a tank. Four cylinder has power to spare, who needs more. Freeway handling is excellent, before you know it youre at 80 mph plus. Reliability excellent, Ive yet to make a repair of any kind. Love the large trunk. Tremendous value for money spent. I will definitely buy another.

  Wonderful Car - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Ron Keeling - February 6 - 12:36 am

  Excellent Car. Only two things already mentioned in other reviews .. shifting between 1st and 2nd gear could be better. and pickup is a little slow. We also have a 4 cyl Corolla, and pickup is better in the Corolla. Aside from these 2 things, its a wonderful car.

  Excellent Car! Highly recommended! - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Jennifer - February 4 - 8:46 pm

  I love my XLE V6 2005 Toyota Camry! Before I purchased my camry, I test drove a LEXUS ES330...because the salesman was so arrogant about the LEXUS product and would not drop the price, I took my business back to Toyota, only to find out that the car I actually purchased XLE V6 Camry IS the same car as the ES 330...it just isnt as posh. But hey, the price was nice and so was the car. It drives so CHOICE! I LOVE IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!!!

  bought in 197k miles. still runs great - 2005 Toyota Camry
  By Boddy - January 3 - 7:44 am

  I bought this car from a seller in CL for my daily 200 miles commuting. After driving 4000 miles, it still runs great. Handling is good for a front wheel drive car. In general, Im not an aggressive driver but like to drive at constant speed that gives overall mpg about 37. One full tank load can last for more than 500 miles. Of course I changed all the oils, fluids, filters (transmission and air), shocks and coolant when the first week I got this car. The transmission fluid was leaking but after replaced the crush washer. The problem solved. It does smoke at starting the car as everyone said. Some say its valve seal but others say might be fuel left in cylinder and is normal, etc. But I never observe any oil consuming (I check my oil every other day) and the car passed the inspection. On little thing is that I have to put a small pillow to make the seat very comfortable. However, I dont need that for 2016 Corolla. Overall, its reliable car with great gas millage and great for my daily long distant driving.
