  Too many issues - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By Lady Jen - October 8 - 6:26 pm

  I leased this car and had to buy 4 new tires at 16K mi., had the seatbelt holder repaired after two months of driving, and the transmission seems to not want to shift down properly. Added to all those joys, the recalls. This car is garbage and I cant wait until next year to move over to Honda.

  So far so good - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By lomspolo - September 4 - 9:10 pm

  Second time I have purchased a Toyota, other vehicle is an 03 Avalon. Ride is smooth as silk. A/C blows ice cold. This car is geared towards comfort. Transmission shifts smoothly. Gas mileage is great have just under 1,000 miles and so far averaging 23-25 mpg with more city than highway usage.

  what these fools talkin bout? - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By mrcashmoneey - June 27 - 3:58 pm

  now ive only had my 09 camry for a week so i cant speak for the reliability, but im reading some nonsense on here. this is a nice car. i have the 4 cyl. and it has plenty of power. it is a little weird accelerating from a stop i will agree to that but cmon. this thing shifts very smooth, the suspension is nice! its a solid ride. i find it comfortable too. after my 08 nissan versa, this thing feels like the greatest car ever. and i get about the same gas mileage but with more of everything! space, performance, oh and a quiet ride oh and its also pretty low priced. dont let these reviews fool you [non-permissible content removed]. sweeeet value.

  Money well spent. - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By Tom - June 11 - 2:30 pm

  Okay, I test drove pretty much all the midsize family sedans and in terms of price, value, comfort, looks, and fuel economy the Toyota Camry won. The 4 cylinder is plenty of power so dont waste money for that and the xle trim is worth the extra money. Very comfortable interior and decent handling so dont expect a sports car ride. I like driving this car. Lots of room front and rear with a decent sized trunk. Lots of airbags and VSC for safety. It even has a knee airbag for the driver. Controls are simple enough but I wasnt sold on the navigation. So I didnt get it. Too many things to look at when driving. Overall, I give it an A.

  Love my Camry! - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By L.A. Wilson - May 7 - 5:26 am

  As many have, I too have read poor reviews that others might give regarding the Camry. Not my experience! But neither will I give this car all "10s" like some. Thats just silly. Suffice it to say, Im EXTREMELY satisfied. The engine is powerful & the 6 sp. tranny, silky smooth. I love the interior & Magnetic Gray exterior (on my SE, that is). Nav. is outstanding and feature filled (w/ bluetooth). JBL Stereo cranks while playing home burned 10 album, MP3 disks. The stock tires were shredded in only 13K, but thats Toyota typical. Quiet interior. Great controls, logically laid out. Comfortable seats (for my 62" 280lb. frame). Currently own two other Toyo

  Love this Car Despite Shortcomings - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By Dave - March 20 - 7:46 pm

  I love this car, despite obvious shortcomings. Bought it nearly new with only 12000 miles on the odometer to replace a rock solid 98 Accord on which I put over 200,000 mi. Camrys biggest shortcoming is the build quality of the interior. There are minor squeaks in the drivers seat, and the back seat makes a popping sound. Rear view mirror is a little loose already. The drive is silky smooth, however. The 4 Cyl has surprising pickup and shifts are much smoother than the 09 Accords I test drove. Handling of the SE is almost on par with the Accord and the ride is firm. Highway noise is quite. Despite the cheap looking seats, they are comfortable. All this makes driving a pleasure.

  Year 1 Review... Not that satisfied - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By Byron K - January 17 - 9:30 am

  Ive had my car for 1 year this month. During the first year the dealer replaced my shocks because they were going bad. I was told this is happening to cars in cold areas. My car makes various noises depending on the time of year. I hear a squeak/crackling noise coming from the radio in the winter/fall, but not when its warm. The car actually makes noises like a house settling. The radio periodically goes from Auxiliary to the FM radio for no reason. I have driven Chevys and Fords that seem to be built better than this car. Now I will either trade it in and lose the 1 year of payments put into it or keep it and hope the engine proves to be as reliable as everyone else thinks.

  200k, The Most Reliable Car I Have Ever Owned - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By pmireland44 - December 23 - 9:44 pm

  The V-6 is very quick with more HP than most 60s Muscle Cars. I have personally put 200k on the clock from day one and the only repairs so far were wheel bearings and Struts at 150K. It didnt even need brakes until 90K! Still has the original battery. Oil changed every 5K. 25mpg in mixed driving and 31mpg on long trips. Everything still works, the interior has held up well (four kids). The paint has seemed to chip a bit easy but I have been on many 500 mile plus trips through the NW in winter. I have no intention of replacing this car before 300K.

  Great Car; Worst Seats Ever - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By ALC - October 4 - 10:10 pm

  This is a wonderful automobile, especially for the price. We find the ride relatively smooth and quiet; wonderful on trips (36 MPG w/AC). Unfortunately, after 60 minutes, one finds that Toyota has designed the WORST front car seats ever placed in an automobile; your back and bottom will suffer! We are so upset, I am shopping after 18K miles. In prior vehicles, I have driven for days for over 12 hours per; not in this car. Two of my relatives, who have never had back pain, now have problems when they drive their Camry (same yr). In today’s market, this is inexcusable. I would gladly provide Toyota with a design solution, if they cared.

  Dependable car but uncomfortable seats - 2009 Toyota Camry
  By Shelly - September 12 - 10:20 pm

  I bought this car for the dependability and easy handling. You dont need muscles to turn the steering wheel or stop the car. However, the drivers seat is uncomfortably hard and I hurt after a few minutes of highway driving. Also theres no lateral support. The head thing hits me when Im on the road. I never feel like I can relax in the seat. I have to sit leaning forward, lumbar deflated, grasping the wheel at 10 and 2, or Im in pain. Ive had pains around my hip muscles and lower back since buying this car. Also, I cant see behind me when backing out of parking space due to pillars. Otherwise, it has a nice ride and looks good.
