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.

  Used to be a great car - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Jennifer Harris - May 29 - 5:36 pm

  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.

  Not Impressed - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By kern - June 19 - 3:40 pm

  I bought this car used with only 15k miles on it. Previous lease and all oil changes were done at the dealer. Still had the new car smell. My previous car was over 11 yrs old so I think I was just in awe of having something newer. But after 3 wks of ownership, I am a bit disappointed. I have not made my first payment yet and the car needs a complete brake job, rotors and all. That is pretty disturbing for only 16k miles. Dome light is no longer working for some reason and I also noticed the trans slip that everyone is talking about. I dismissed it because my last car was a 6 cy. Thought I just had to get used to a 4 again. Now I see its not me, its the car.

  Poor transmission - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By sam - June 15 - 3:03 pm

  Very poor transmission. It changes gears and you can feel it since it stalls. Had rotor problems already. just has 1058 miles. Interior makes noise as though something is loose. The passenger side windows would not open front and the back. Just a nightmare since the day one. I do not think it is number one when you spend so much money for it.

  Never Again - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By chip schell - March 6 - 9:56 pm

  After about 12,000 miles, this car started to fall apart. Rattles everywhere. Have replaced the steering column, brakes and rotors already before 32k miles. Problems with loud rattles in sunroof mounting. Misaligned fender. Busted trim. The antenna in the roof was disconnected and rattled. They have had to take the dash apart to fix rattles that are still there. AC smelled horrible. Suspension is noisy and squishy. All Toyota can say is sorry, but cars have problems. Have had it in the shop 12 times in the last 15 months. So much for Toyota quality. This doesnt even include any of the issues associated with the recall. I cant get rid of this car soon enough.

  Beautiful but shakey - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By rar2 - January 24 - 5:46 pm

  I purchased this brand new 2008 LE V6 at the end of 2008. Within a week the seat and steering wheel would vibrate when driving 65-75 on the highway 30 miles to get to work. Also had issues with the bluetooth. Brought in repeatedly. Eventually a TSB was sent out by Toyota regarding vibration/shudder after months of complaining, but it didnt completely resolve the issue. Toyota Rep insists its the way Camry is designed. Had Hondas for 20 years, first toyota, incredibly disappointed. Do not feel safe. Also experience transmission hesitation as others.

  Transmission lag - 2008 Toyota Camry
  By Ted - August 1 - 12:43 pm

  The "fly by wire" feature has caused an annoying lag when reaching certain speeds. Its almost as if the car cant make up its mind what gear it should be in. It constantly downshift and hesitates. Sometimes the car stalls when I press the accelerator to pass another car. Im scheduled for Arbitration with Toyota about this problem. Stay tuned.
