- 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.

2008 My camry - 2008 Toyota Camry
By cam_guy - November 22 - 5:33 amOverall the Camry is a great car, I have many Camrys over the past 20 years. The ride is what I want, handling is good too. I feel Toyota is slipping in overall quality. The finish inside has cheapened, but its little better on the 08 then the 07. The Bluetooth system stinks in my opinion, will not recognize my verbal commands very well.

I miss my 4-runner - 2008 Toyota Camry
By jkglx - June 28 - 9:33 amInitial 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.

Great car - 2008 Toyota Camry
By sandwinder - May 17 - 7:20 pmI 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 hated it - April 12 - 1:46 amI 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 Lois - April 6 - 5:26 amThis 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.

Traded in my Lexus for a Camry - 2008 Toyota Camry
By purpchin - February 8 - 10:10 pmI 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.

A lot of fun, but... - 2008 Toyota Camry
By Sammycamry - December 4 - 9:26 pmI only have about 500 miles on the car and so far I love it but it is a rattle trap with a lot of unnecessary noises from interior of car. My seatbelt squeaks, I have several rattles coming from headliner. On the positive side, this car is a beast!!! I cannot say enough about how fast this thing is! I hope the dealership can iron out my compaints and let me love this car!!

Cruise Control - 2008 Toyota Camry
By GregG - September 19 - 10:36 amI like the car overall. I was driving a 1995 Avalon, so replacing my car is a big deal. Going from a V6 to a V4 takes some getting used to. I think the overdrive gear is too low. On cruise control over a minor hill, the car downshifts (my Avalon NEVER did that.) I think they put a low gear for more fuel economy, but I would sure like an override to the constant down shifting. The car is a real head turner, I love the styling. The controls are neatly placed. The audio system has a jack for my portable tape player. I wish the audio system had both CD and cassette. Also, I am pleased that the car warms up fast in the morning (how did they do that?)

Warranty isnt worth the paper wrote w/ - 2008 Toyota Camry
By Chelle - March 17 - 8:06 pmMy 2008 Camry has been consuming oil it a serious extent, took to dealership they tear down my motor, tell me to bring receipts of oil changes to turn in on the extended warranty. Did that from the body shop it was changed in. Now the dealership doesnt want to fix the car and didnt even turn in my receipts for the warranty to cover the damage to the car. Carbon build up apparently means lack of oil change to them but to everyone who knows better its a common build up form low grade fuel, or rich air/fuel mixture. Watch your car and your dealership, they are border line criminals they way they try to justify making there money they are a joke and will go to court and be made to fix car!
