  • The best car I ever had - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Traded in a 2007 Tahoe you know the one the saves half the gas by shutting the motor down. I love this car. this is my 6th car in my nine years of driving yes Im 26 and love the 4 door v-6 power no nav but everything else. Smooth ride and the best gas miles since the 91 CRX (46 mpg) looked at the accord nice but not enough to buy. I can compare this to my old 98 Prelude SH 200hp "built to run" this has way more power for a bigger car. Worth a drive and a buy.

  • Lacks pick-up - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I previously owned 2003 Camry (4- cyl.). I absolutely loved my 2003. I traded it in for the new 2009 body style. My 2009 Camry has very little pick-up. It barely gets out of its own way on Interstate! Scary!!! Also, the door storage areas and console areas are not as large as in the 2003. The 2009 Camry is somewhat disappointing. I dont necessarily dislike the car totally, but I truly miss the pick-up from the 2003 Camry.

  • Best Car - 2009 Toyota Camry

    This is my first Toyota I have owned. Since the first time I drove it I was sold. It is so fun to drive, and the power is awsome, the interior is also A++. I will Buy Toyota from now on.

  • Excellent Purchase for the Second Time!! - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    We bought this car to replace my other Camry that is 10 years old. I will say it is such a fun car to drive! I love all the safety features it offers. I drive up and down the interstate daily and feel confident that I am in a safe car! I got all that I wanted with no compromise. We still kept the old Camry to drive around town to save miles on the new Camry and my husbands 04 Toyota Tundra. I will only ever own a Toyota! Excellent made cars and trucks.

  • Front End Shimmy - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Have had the car for over a year now and have been having a front end shimmy at highway speeds. This started at 9000 miles. The tires have been balanced over 3 times and now Toyota corporate is coming out to investigate vehicle. The dealer is telling me I may need new tires at 18,000 miles. New tires will cost over 1000 dollars. Loved the car at first but now am not sure. JBL audio system is poor and muffled in my opinion. Have a tear in the leather in the passengers seat and Toyota denied the warranty claim to repair it. This car has been in the shop so many times I cannot even count on both hands. I would urge any new car shopper to drive and consider all options before you purchase.

  • Love my Cammie the Camry - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    A lot of people I know own these so I decided to buy one. My lady friend owns a 2008 Camry XLE V6. Hers is black, and mine is silver. What is not to like about this car? I just love it to death! I plan on keeping it for a good long time. Me and my lady friend are both senior citizens. I definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a midsize family sedan that is great for anyone of any age. They make great first cars, great second cars, and great family cars.

  • Disappointed - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I traded in a 2004 Camry LE when the extended warranty ran out at 100K miles; The 2009 feels smaller inside and out. I feel cramped and like Im in a fishbowl - and I am a small lady. With the seat arranged for short person comfort, I have no visibility to check for traffic in my blind spot on either side. Maybe it doesnt have a blind spot? Ha! Im looking at the post when I look over my shoulder. I cant see over the hood to park it and keep missing the lines - yes, I know how to park a car and Ill adjust til I figure it out. Ive only had the car for 3 days and now Im not sure what to do - and Im really concerned that Ill miss another car sitting in a blind spot.

  • Paint peeling off front bumper - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Went to dealership. Said rock chip caused peeling, wont cover repair. I have had Toyotas before, under the same driving conditions for 4 yrs without this problem. Also, 1st gear is geared too high, have to rev engine or slip clutch to take off. Also, console storage and cup holders are not as usable as my 04 Corolla. Gear shifter hits cup in cupholder when shifting into 2nd, 4th or reverse.

  • Four trips to the shop so far. - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    We love the Camry, upgraded from a 1997 V6 Camry with 150,000 miles. The 2009 is a big step up in quiet and smooth performance. Even with the small 4 cyl. engine, the performance in the mountains where we live is very good. Problem has been wheel bearings. Four wheel bearings have been replaced by two different dealers within 1000 miles. Great customer service from both dealers, but Toyota has no clue as to what is causing our problem.

  • Great MPG - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This makes my 39th vehicle. My wife says that I have a problem! I just purchased this car in hopes to have a dependable, good MPG ride. Guess what, that is exactly what I have. Of course dependability is yet to be seen but from what everyone says I should not have to worry. Now, for the MPG. The sticker said I should get 31 on the highway. I travel rural roads (2 lane) to work 48 miles each way and so far I have been getting 33-37 MPG (wow). I fill it up until it is just to the neck so I know exactly how much is in there. The computer seems to be about 1 mpg off (on the high side) but actual numbers are still outstanding. I am 63" and have plenty of room. So far, LOVE IT.
