This Year's Model Updates:

Toyota's perennially best-selling family sedan gets a complete makeover for 2007. Among the highlights are a roomier interior, additional luxury-oriented features, an available 268-hp V6 coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission, and a gasoline-electric hybrid model that earns EPA fuel economy estimates of 43 mpg city/37 mpg highway.

Pros:
  • Roomy cabin, powerful V6 engine, hybrid model available, legendary build quality and reliability history.
Cons:
  • No manual transmission available with V6, some odd styling elements.

  • Toyotas quality is slipping - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Best way to describe this car is to say that is is obvious that the engineering was sound, but the execution (build quality and materials) is terrible! Ive had the same transmission problems/hesitation issues as everyone else. Had replaced ECU, and 3 software loads, and problem is finally fixed. 3 blown struts at 30,000 miles, interior trim coming loose and rattling/squeaking, stains on paint, and bug splats taking paint off, premature/uneven brake wear, on 3rd windshield (they are incredibly thin). Insanely cheap plastic all over interior. I could go on for pages.

  • NEVER again... - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Ive had 2 Camrys before the one, and bought it thinking that the quality standards known to a Toyota would still remain excellent. This assumption was my first mistake. Its now apparent that Toyota quality took a nose dive. I get terrible fuel economy (19/20 in the city, 25/26 highway ...with a 4 cylinder!), even though its rated at 24/34. The transmission is crap, and erratically shifts despite modest acceleration and conservative driving habits. Ive already taken the car back to the dealership 4 times for rattling, creaking, and clicking in the dash and center console (granted Ive had the car for 3 months). They never fixed it, but instead said that its normal.

  • A disappointment - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This car seemed so nice at first, that is until all the nagging details started surfacing. It rides fairly quiet and has good legroom but the trunk is smaller than some competitors. The 4 cylinder is adequate but many other competitors have a good deal more hp and are quieter. Suggest making the exterior look cleaner and less Mazda like. Also bring back the deleted door protection moldings and make the visors extend like on many other cars made today.

  • unsafe to drive - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    After app. 500 miles this car began to hesitate on acceleration at stoplights on left turns from stops and in normal driving. This is not a slight lag on acceleration but a total lack of power. The gas pedal can be to the floor for at least a count of 5 seconds before the car starts any acceleration, when it slowly reaches 40 mph acceleration is fine. This does not happen all the time. Transmission does not know sometimes what it is doing when itÂ’s shifting up or down. One dealer says there is nothing wrong with this car. Another dealership admits to this problem but says there no cure yet. I have reported to the NHTSA that this car is unsafe for the road. We now have 5000+ miles on it.

  • Also-ran - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I traded in a Chevy Malibu with over 100,000 miles for this car. I would gladly take it back. I had more issues with this car than in all the years I owned the malibu. The engine made a horrible knocking noise. The factory rep said that is normal for a four cylinder, and if I wanted better performance, I should have got the six. He also accused me of not changing the oil although I had all receipts. The seat is rock hard and not suitable for trips over 50 miles. The car is very harsh on bumps, and the glove box pops open from time to time on them! The car looks good on the outside in terms of design, but fit and finish are horrible. The deck lid almost touched the quarterpanel.

  • Never again - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I purchased my car based on having owned two other Toyotas in the past. I so regret buying this car. I should have waited and purchased an Acura. There is something seriously wrong with the transmission; it does not want to change and this is getting worse. Believe it or not my sun visor is broken on the driver side. Whoever heard of a sun visor breaking. Anyway whatever keeps it up, the spring, etc is broken, you can run your hand across the top and see that it has popped open. Of course I can get it fixed for about $200 at the dealer. I have a 2000 Camry and it is better than this one. Oh did I mention that the carpet I had replaced now has another hole in it. Never Again!

  • Stay away from the Camry - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought the Camry because of Toyota reliability and quality. I have two Toyotas (a 2007 Tacoma that is ok, and a 1993 mr2 that is great) but so far Im satisfied with them. But then came the Camry, what a junky car. Fuel economy is not that great (24mpg mostly highway on cruise control). Rattles from the dashboard that causes you to pump up the volume on the radio. That Camry has a severe lack of power that is not even funny. It feels like a three cylinder car without the fuel economy!!!! And trust me I am not exaggerating. The transmission, I dont know what to tell you, but good luck if you dont learn from my mistake. Just dont do it. I wish I would have read these reviews.

  • Trans is out of whack - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    The transmission cant make up its mind it hesitates to shift. Then there is the rattles. To top it off the MPG is not even close to the stated. I regret buying this car, should have bought the Altima or Mazda. The performance is not that great.

  • Worst car I have driven in 30 years - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Over the years, I have driven almost every car made (either owned or rental cars on business). Our 2007 Camry 4 cylinder is our third Camry and we expected a decent car. The car has extremely dangerous hesitations and absolutely terrible gas mileage. We have had it back to the dealers for several checks and no one can do anyting to correct the "wonderful, new, high-tech, drive-by-wire" system. We discovered that new does not always mean better. I strongly suggest that anyone considering buying the new Camry should shop around and be made aware of current faults. This is, by far, the worst car we have ever owned and I cant wait to get rid of it. Ill sell it cheap.

  • Nothing but trouble - 2007 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Clutch blew out on the highway at 50,000 miles. Toyota dealer refused to honor "powertrain" warranty. Brakes wore out far too early. Security system is a major pain. Now, battery died at 55,000 miles. Car is a maintenance nightmare - everything is too expensive to fix. Would never buy another Toyota!
