  • I miss my 4-runner - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Initial impressions of the 1st 300 miles. This vehicle is very comfortable, and has a pleasant ride. I am a little disappointed with the fuel economy, as I averaged approx 18 MPG in the city. I would not have gotten rid of my 4-Runner if I would have known that I was going to improve my mileage by this little. Waiting to see how efficient on the highway. Also, transmission is acting up. Out of nowhere, RPM revs up when not accelerating.

  • Used to be a great car - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought this car to replace my 98 Camry, and I must say that compared to that one, this car is disappointing. Although I like the looks of this one better, the quality of the interior is poor. Too many rattles and squeaks coming from the doors, the dash and the moonroof. I have not had any transmission problems like some of the other complaints.

  • Good Value - 2008 Toyota Camry

    Ive driven the Lexus 400 Series since 1991 and have just purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry SE V6, and the car is excellent. Its not the Lexus flagships I used to drive, but close & I have more money left in pocket which puts a smile on my face.

    My sun visor broken when I driving and I get car accident , I m so scare what happen for next time

  • Great car - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I think this is a great car. I have driven several types of cars from Acura to BMW and I can say this car is great. It doesnt have the driving ability of the German cars but it is still great for the money. I did test drive the 4 cylinder and wasnt impressed at all. The 6 cylinder is great, very refined and power when you need it.

  • did not like - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought the car in Feb 08 and traded it in in Sept 08. The hesitation at take offs and the up and down shifting of the transmission were getting on my nerves. It easily cames out of over- drive to get up a small hill. If you did not take off slowly, the car had a dead spot and then the car would take off. A lot of complaints about this issue on the internet. I do 80% interstate driving and I struggled to get 22 mpg. The car rode nicely on smooth roads as well as handled well.

  • Acceleration still not fixed - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This is my 3rd Camry since 1993. Stuck with the Camry since Ive always had good luck. Heard the 2007 had problems with acceleration, but figured they had fixed that on the 2008. Having same problem with 2008 as people did with 2007. Problem is still not fixed and I want to slap myself for not test driving my new car. Once you get on the highway, it rides beautiful, but my ride to work is all stop and go.

  • Great - 2008 Toyota Camry

    I traded an 05 XLE 6c. for an 08 XLE 4c. and it has as much pep even on hills. Good gas mileage. I am very pleased with the car thus far.

  • Traded in my Lexus for a Camry - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I traded my RX 300 for this Camry and after a week Im not disappointed at all, especially at the gas pump. I went from a V6 to I4 and theres plenty of passing power. I also went from leather to cloth seats and its not cold - no seat heaters needed. If you want more class upgrade to the XLE but get ready to pay 3-4K more. Thats a personal choice. Its only been a week but if I have to take it to the shop youll be hearing from me. I bought certified used (3,800 mis) and the best thing about that is that the warranty is 7/100,00 mi - better than new.

  • Awesome Car!! - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I just purchased this car 3 days ago and already put on 500 miles in those days. Quiet ride, comfort, cruise control, these are all things that sold me on this car!
