Overview & Reviews

Redesigned last year, the Camry is unchanged for 2008. Toyota has dropped the CE name from the base trim level.

• Expansive interior, powerful and fuel-efficient V6, plush ride quality, legendary reputation for reliability, top crash test scores, high resale value.

• Inconsistent fit and finish, a few low-grade interior plastics, minimal steering feedback.

For a car i barely drive and take care of since i bought it!!! Im SOOOO DISAPPOINTED !!!

  Not Toyotas Finest Effort - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Detectivejojima - January 8 - 7:51 pm

  The car overall is a good car for everyday transportation. Quiet, comfortable and reliable. Not exciting, nor fun to drive, but it does the job. Weak points are struts, which had to be replaced around 40k. Small leaks and very soft, just too soft, and not under warranty. Needed to replace power booster on brakes around 150k. First time on any car Ive owned. Those are expensive fixes. Also, now at 175k mileage, smoke comes out of exhaust when 1st starting in morning, regardless of weather. My mechanic says oil burn, but oil does not drop between oil changes, so not much oil burn, if that is what is causing smoke. But still runs great, no other major problems and I guess its been overall a reliable Toyota, but below my other experiences with my 5 other Toyotas over the years.

  Good Choice - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Jim - December 28 - 11:03 am

  This is our 1st import. Went from SUVs, so realize that change. Comfortable ride to the grocery and up the east coast. Low road noise. Good gas economy. Good acceleration, especially for a 4 cyl. Im 64", wife 54". We both fit well into the vehicle without problems, even the back seat. Sound system is very nice.

  Cruise Control Downshifting - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Downshifting - November 30 - 6:06 am

  Overall, a very good car. Love the styling, its a real head turner. Good visability, though the side pillar gets in the way of good side visability when changing lanes. One annoyance worth noting - downshifting. I think the 5th gear is too low. They probably did that for fuel economy. When on cruise control on highway speeds, the car downshifts when going over minor hills and bridges. I wish there was an override.

  Hindsight is 20/20 - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Kim - October 29 - 5:20 pm

  I hate the hesitation that happens when you need to take off quickly. I was told that this is only a second hesitation and that it seems longer than it really is that it has something to do with the way the engines are made now. I hate the crazy blind blind spots. Not very roomy inside. Really scary and the tight space causes angst. Constant vibration in steering as though the wheels are out of balance (Toyota always says its the road) they "balance" it for $$$ and send me down the road - - still vibrating. Was told that they retain their value, but so far this is WAY wrong. Owe at this point $19K and highest offer has been $10K!! Never, never again.

  Very very very dissapointed - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By dissapointment - August 20 - 8:10 am

  This is my 3rd camry since 99 and probably my last. Ive owned basically only Totyotas for the last 25 years, Land Cruisers, Corollas and Camrys and Ive never been so dissapointed. The transmission, doesnt work properly, as well as the cruise control, the car shakes after 60 miles, the radio and CD player had to be excchanged, overall I am the proud owner of a NIGHT MARE!!!

  Great car, but POOR quality - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Steven Daly - July 31 - 1:00 pm

  I have owned a 1993 Camry and a 2001 Camry, and this 2008 Camry is terrible compared to those two. I am so disappointed in the cheap plastic parts, the terrible squeaks and rattles and the horrible transmission. This vehicle is by far, the best looking Camry I have had, but the worst quality of the three. It has already been in the shop FOUR TIMES. My other Camrys were never in the shop for anything other than oil changes!!

  Excellent condition, reliability, low mileage. - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Sue - July 7 - 6:34 am

  The owner (retired), has driven the car an average of 5,000 miles/year since purchased new in 2008. The owner has kept up proper dealer service requirements, maintained its physical appearance of the interior/exterior as well as keeping it garaged. The explanation to sell it arises out of the owners health issues.

  CV Joint Defective - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By David - June 18 - 7:23 am

  I have ~71K miles on my 2008 Camry LE (4 cyl). Good overall performance, great gas mileage. I began to hear clattering when turning right. Long story short, the dealer would not repair the obviously defective CV joint (out of warranty). Two other repair shops both told me the same story; "the CV joint boot was not damaged nor leaking and the was obviously defective. The deal had to admit that a CV joint failing that early in the life of the car was not typical. Toy HQ sent me back to the dealership to work out what ultimately was a $368.00 (1/2 price) bill from the dealership. I drive >100 miles per day freeway, that transaxle should not have failed, warranty or no warranty

  Outlived any American car I ever owned! - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By cooksfallskid - June 6 - 7:11 pm

  I owned several brand new Chevys and NONE of them came close to the reliability of my 08 Camry. ALL of the Chevys I had ever owned were in need of major service before 30k. I regularly commute from Upstate NY and this car never gave me any trouble. I follow the owners manual and service it myself. Synth. oil from day 1. I will not let those butchers at the dealership touch this car. Aside from the normal wear and tear items it is the most reliable car I have ever owned. I never had a car that had factory brakes last 100k! The only major component replaced was the water pump. I drive this car HARD and make regular trips to .FLA and NC 2 to 3 times a year with it. Toyota got it right this time
