  • What happened Toyota? - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    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.

  • Very Satisfied - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    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 -

    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.

  • Good Choice - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    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.

  • Excellent condition, reliability, low mileage. - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    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.

  • Cant beat it - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    For what I payed for it you cant beat it. From taking the kids to school practice etc.. the Camry is an excellent car. It is hushed and smooth on the highway. In the city (chicago) it absorbs the numerous bumps with no problem. For all of the people complaining about the performance. IT IS A V-4. If you wanted fast buy a mustang. Perfect everyday car. I am averaging 25mpg. Majority city driving. It is a great family car without the big sticker. Very safe car also. Has 6 airbags standard. Has an I-pod jack with 3 gig of storage for mp3s.

    Great commuter car for the wife. Good value for the price, with nice looks and fine (so far) fit and finish.

  • Good Car for the Money - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Bought car new and currently has 82000 miles on it. Overall this has been an exceptional car for the money. Average around 25 mpg. It is the base model so it lacks some of the more refined features. With that said there are some annoyances. The slight steering shutter at highway speeds. You press the accelerator but there is a short delay then the car takes off. Uses around a 1/2 qt of oil between changes (5000 miles with Mobil 1). Blind spots. Base model is a little noisy at highway speeds. Original tires were awful. New GoodyearÂ’s are much better.

  • Love my camry - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I have had my Camry for almost a month now. The ride is awesome, fuel economy is great. Transmission is very smooth and quick! I had an 06 Camry and the 08 is far better in all ways! Suspension is much improved.

  • 2008 SE Camry Nice Ride!! - 2008 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I have owned my 2008 SE Camry for about one week now and do not have any regrets about the purchase. The interior fit and finish is nicely done especially for a car at this price. The 4-Cyl. engine is great on gas and has decent acceleration and tourque. All radio, AC/Heat controls are easy to understand and utilze. Passenger room in this car is outstanding, you can really strech out and get comfortable. Getting ready to take it on a long trip so we will see how fuel milage is on the highway.
