This Year's Model Updates:

For the 2004 Toyota Camry, a new 3.3-liter V6 is standard on SE V6 models. Relative to last year's 3.0-liter V6, this engine offers 33 more horsepower and an additional 31 pound-feet of torque, boosting ratings to 225 and 240, respectively. Fortunately, Toyota has also boosted the 3.0-liter engine's output -- it now makes 210 hp and 220 lb-ft of torque in V6-equipped LE and XLE models. Both V6 engines come standard with a five-speed automatic transmission this year. In other news, a new trim has been introduced; the Limited Edition Camry comes in an exclusive crystal-white color, and offers a unique front grille, standard foglamps and champagne-color exterior badging.

Pros:
  • Roomy, comfortable, plenty of safety and luxury features, high resale value, strong reputation for reliability.
Cons:

    My wife bought the car for her. I never liked it, but I dont like Toyota engineering anyway.The interior was very nice but the outside is ugly. The performace was bland and the driveability very poor. No power, bad shifting, terrible lag to the point of being unsafe to drive. Will not accellerate when needed. I hated it so much we got rid of it.

  • My Company Car - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I received my LE as a company provided car. I had always driven domestic or Hondas prior to that. I was quite surprised to find the Toyota was as good as anything I had owned before. Frankly, I hadnt ever given Toyota a 2nd thought when making my purchases...that will all change now. The 4 cyl is a little weak at times, but over all acceptable in most situations. Fit and finish is excellent, however I do agree with a previous posting that the rear bumper is prone to scratching easily if accidently bumped with a bag or suitcase. Dont make the same mistake that I did. Give this car a close look when making your next car purchase.

  • Excellent road trip car - 2004 Toyota Camry

    I bought my 2004 4cyl automatic Camry LE at the end of March this year. I have already driven it to Altanta from Cleveland, Ohio and it did an excellent job. The Camry handled excellently at highway speeds, it accellerated nicely in the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee, and it got excellent gas mileage. Actually, my in-city gas mileage is even better since my trip. The handling could be a little tighter, but over all I love my car.

  • Will never buy a Toyota Again - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This has been the most horrid car I have ever purchased. The transmission died with less than 5000 on it. The dealership blamed me: said I raced it! Seat fabric came apart on passenger seat. Water pump already died. I have only had this car 5 months!

  • Perfect - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I love the luxurious feel. It has a smooth ride and a little spunk with the SE edition. The economic price tag tops off the whole experience.

  • My Black Camry - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This car with manual trans has a lot of power. I can merge into the highway with a lot of confidence. The fuel economy is very good, never below 24mpg. I liked the roomy interior and the simple board design. A little bit difficult to drive in hilly terrain, since I found that the clutch has a small range of engagement. Its weight also makes the uphill starting more difficult. Overall still like it, just take time to get used to it.

  • First new car - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Found out the car had no side mirror heat to melt ice etc. Not good. New material on seats holds lint/hair more than 2003 No access to trunk without stopping car. Plug in for phone etc does not continue to charge when vehichle is shut off. Bad! Car handles very well on curves and cruises nicely on the hwy. Milage not the best right now. Hopefully will improve as car breaks in.

  • As fun to drive as a toaster - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I do not own a Camry, but drove an LE rental for more than a week. The car had very few miles on it so it wasnt abused. Personally, I dont see what the attraction to Camry is outside of reliability. For myself, Id trade a little reliability for a dash of excitement. The car is boring, in styling and in performance. Its well built, a comfortable cruiser, good for commutes, but I would never buy one unless I had to. Its just basic transportation at a premium. I think you folks need to shop around and experience some other brands, unless driving is not something you like to do.
