  08 Camry LE 4cyl - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Stephen - July 21 - 3:36 pm

  Even with a 4cyl the Camry still has plenty of power but can react slowly. As one would expect, I have had no problems with the car except for low pressure in one tire. Getting actual mileage around 26 highway (set cruise - 50 miles round trip) and 18 city during first 1k miles. I think this could be due to the automatic transmission slipping.

  What happened Toyota? - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By kueker87 - July 16 - 10:40 am

  I had a 93 Camry and put over 250,000 miles on it. Loved it... So I upgraded to the new Camry expecting the same sort of reliability and quality, which I still expect to get, but the car does have a weird shuddering problem around speeds of 40-55 mph, especially going up hills. I took this to my dealership (very friendly) and they told me that is just what happens when youre trying to push a car up a hill at 1200-1500 rpms at 40-55 mph, the engine has to "shake" a little to get up... The remedy is to drive in GEAR 4 when youre town driving - Drive in D on interstate. I havent had an issue with the shuddering since. Toyota should still try and locate the problem and issue a recall.

  Not Satisfied - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Monica - July 4 - 7:50 pm

  This is my first Toyota, and Im not impressed. The car is sluggish, transmission shifts often and has a very noticeable delay. I was also expecting BETTER MPG only get an average of 22.

  Crappy Transmission - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Dezra - June 24 - 3:46 pm

  Car vibrates when driving up a slight incline at 40-43 MPH, keeping speed steady. Was told by non Toyota mechanic that it is the torque converter and Toyota themselves say "its a normal characteristic of this car". WHATEVER!!! Pretty scary huh? Could harm me while driving someday. It also shifts hard sometimes and revs up when I am not accelerating. Also, my cd player will play a song or so then stop completely and keep my cd, and wont give it back until the stereo cools down! Other than that, I love the car!

  Very Satisfied - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By john - June 8 - 7:53 am

  Ive driven my 2008 Camry LE 1,375 very pleasant miles so far. It is very comfortable, roomy and fun to drive. Fuel economy is excellent. The 2.4L 4cyl 5A has plenty of pickup when needed on the highway. I would recommend this car to a friend.

  An Excellent Value - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Mathewsv0 - May 2 - 9:00 pm

  I recently purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry CE with the five speed manual transmission and I must say it is truly a pleasure to drive. The clutch has the right amount of travel, the shifting operation is smooth, and the power of the engine is great whether youre driving in the city or on the highway. The fit and finish of the interior is excellent with a lot of shoulder and head room. The seats are also positioned in a way that is very comfortable. In this price range it offers quite a bit. Im only twenty years of age and Im impressed with this car even though it is marketed towards a different crowd.

  Toyota slipping badly - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By ray3503 - April 15 - 3:03 am

  Its clear to me that as Toyota grows they are unable to maintain the qulality standards they set. The Camry im driving is slow, the controls are in poor positions, it handles squishy and rattles. The exterior body styling is ok i guess, but this car is so vanilla and so ho hum its hard to recommend it. I think the US car companies are putting out much better cars than the Camry, and the Accord sits in a league by itself in this segment.

  Another Camry - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By high_speed_chase - March 30 - 7:50 am

  This is our fourth Camry, but the first with a V6. We traded a 2007 Camry SE I4, and I am not disappointed. The 3.5 V6 is very smooth and powerful. It runs 0-60 and quarter mile times of the infamous 5.0 Mustang from the early 1990s, (in stock form of course). Gas mileage is within 1-2 MPG of the I4. 600 miles already racked up since Friday night.

  Camry Problems - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By 207roy04064 - March 20 - 6:16 pm

  2008 Camry was sluggish and changed gears often. Cruise control varied 5 to 6 mph from actual setting. Traded this Camry 1 year after purchase. Bought it new 9/2007. Since purchase the CD player had to be replaced, did not pass state inspection because 4 struts were leaking. Then a front wheel bearing had to be replaced. This was a very unreliable car so I traded it in.

  DO NOT BUY CAMRY I REPEAT - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Honest Opinion - February 28 - 9:53 am

  This is a horrible car. All the talk about Toyota quality is really nothing more than marketing-hype. The so-called quality is NOT there. Rather, this car is riddled with many problems--some of which are really serious and dangerous. First, the transmission is really bad. It slips all the time and shifting is very poor. It could cause "unexpected" acceleration, and can cause serious accident. Second, the quality is bad. The gaps between parts (e.g., dash board) are wide and uneven. 1970 Dodge is probably better assembled than this. Ive already visited the dealership three times because of various problems. Third, dont expect any fun in driving this car. Steering is very unresponsive.
