Great used car - 2009 Toyota Camry
By Simon - June 19 - 12:13 amI read many of these reviews and I was on the lookout for some of the various issues that owners were concerned about. I paid approx. 10K less for a certified 09. If I had purchased new, I would say the car is not worth the money, as a used car...its a no brainer. I got a "good" car, good panel fit, no rattles, whisper quiet at 70mph,killer fuel mileage and low insurance cost. Im 63" with a bad back...no issues with seat comfort.

Fix the fuel tank - 2009 Toyota Camry
By Toby - June 16 - 2:26 pmEverything with this car is fine except there is a deep thud sound coming from the rear of the car after we take off from a dead stop. We had it in the shop 3 times already and it only has 1000 miles on it. The first time they put padding around the jack and tightened the spare tire down some more. They said this should do it. I took the car back in a few days later as it was still making the noise. The mechanic said that a baffle in the fuel tank was loose and that was the noise we were hearing. They ordered us a new fuel tank and it didnt fix it. We took the car back in a week later for a Toyota engineer to look at it and he said that it was the fuel tank but nothing could be done bout it

Our 1st Toyota - 2009 Toyota Camry
By David White - May 29 - 5:06 pmWe bought this car to replace a 17 year old Ford Taurus based upon reviews, resale value, perceived quality, etc. So far, we have been impressed with ride quality (handling could be better) as well as the fuel economy (22 - 34 mpg depending on city or highway driving). The interior & trunk are large and the ride comfortable with plenty of room for our family. Mud flaps have been added as well as pinstriping (which really dresses the car up), a clear bra and a wood dash/door panel kit (relatively inexpensive upgrades that make the car look better and protect it from the elements). With only 3,000 miles on it, we havent had any negative issues. The reliability factor is off to a good start.

Camry SE is the best! - 2009 Toyota Camry
By Lia - May 25 - 7:10 pmI fell in love with this car the second I test drove it. I traded in a 2001 Toyota Highlander because I wanted to get back into a sedan. Its so fun to drive - the pickup is wonderful - and it is so comfortable even on long drives. The bluetooth is nice and I dont have a problem hearing the people on the other end but have had people tell me that sometimes they have trouble hearing me. Overall I am ecstatic about my purchase. No problems thus far. It was part of the recall but the dealership put in all of the new parts overnight which was convenient for me.

Little Annoyances - 2009 Toyota Camry
By Little Annoyances - May 21 - 11:26 amJust took delivery. Great looking car and wonderful performance. Im told they are not available but it was an officials car and it came with the 18" inch alloy wheels [great looking] but the High Performance tires really transmit the slightest road irregularities. My fault for accepting them. Im used to a trip computer which is not available on this car. The nav system is more complex than my needs, yet there is no "simple" driving compass which my wife and have come to rely on. The mirrors dont fold away, and there is no memory option for the drivers seat positions. Small issues to be sure, but Ive had them on previous cars and Ill be sure they are on my next car.

A solid choice - 2009 Toyota Camry
By NYC - May 18 - 4:33 pmI leased a 2000 Camry and I find that the 2009 Camry I purchased about 6 weeks ago is a better driving experience for me. The handling is tighter and the car maneuvers easier. If you are looking for a family car that gives you plenty of room and a quiet ride. The Camry is a great choice. The XLE adds the extras like the JBL radio which is standard to the stereo I had in my "07 Lexus IS250! Bluetooth and Homelink are very useful and the heat and radio controls and the steering wheel are convenient.

Worry free/comfort - 2009 Toyota Camry
By Dave - April 28 - 8:36 amI love my Camry. I took it on a multi-state ski trip; it was such a smooth quiet ride through the mountains, no problem in slush and light snowy back roads. I am 64 and no problem with leg and head room. I really like the new body design, and I love the car and am thinking of selling my wifes car for another Toyota, maybe rav 4, to add to collection. Hopefully being this is my first toy, there will be many years of no problems. :)

I Love My Camry SE V6 - 2009 Toyota Camry
By IndyMacAddict - April 3 - 12:33 amIve always wanted a tough looking car with the muscle to back it up. But, my family demands more functionality than a small two door hot rod. The Camry offers everything I was looking for. Power, looks, comfort, room, and fuel economy to boot. The Camry has it all. It drives like its on rails thanks to the sport suspension. This is not the boring Camry of old. This car can move! Acceleration is outstanding. I have had the pleasure of proving this to unsuspecting Accord V6, Malibu LTZ, and Altima owners with a good stoplight whoopin. At the same time, we enjoy state to state road trips due to the quit, comfortable ride. The Camry SE V6 does it all.

Disappointed with the Camry - 2009 Toyota Camry
By Ron B - March 27 - 10:00 amThis car jerks before it accelerates. It lurks when the brakes are applied. The interior materials looks like its made of cheap plastic. The color is ugly. Parts of the engine, drive shafts, bolts, nuts, show very early rusting, and got worse after a year. It is so underpowered that it makes a lot of vibration and noise during acceleration. I would not recommend this car.
