Overview & Reviews

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.

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

  2004 Toyota Camry 2.4 four cylinder - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By Paul - June 26 - 1:00 am

  Ive owned this car from new and have serviced all fluids regularly (transmission, coolant and steering included). It is my rolling office and my main concerns are reliability and economy. It avarages 30 mpg, needed front brake pads at 72,000, wiper blades at 75,000, spark plugs at 100,000, pads with rotors at 153,000. The only unschedualed repair to date was the right rear brake light bulb at 103,000. The rear brakes have had regular cleaning but have not worn out. If Toyota made appliances, computers etc. I would buy them

  Cream of the Crop - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By REC - June 1 - 2:00 am

  This car buying experience was very pleasant,an all day pursuit, but well worth it in the end....the dealership is very new and very professional, and this car as we had it equipped is awesome.The Camry XLE is a well built and functional car, I am pleased with the vehicle and the dealer. I would recommend moving up to the XLE if you want a Camry...this Camry is really a better buy than the Avalon XL..as far as value for the dollar

  No more Toyota Camry! - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By 2ben91 - May 9 - 4:53 am

  I was gifted this car two years ago after a family member purchased a new car. Having a 2000 Nissan Maxima, I decided this would an upgrade. Boy was I wrong. This car gets the same MPG as my Maxima, about 20-22 in town and 26 on the highway. For a vehicle with only 70,000 miles when I got it, and a Toyota, it sure has a lot of problems. It eats tires and brakes, it leaves me stranded, and its most recent repair needed, a new Throttle Body, costs upwards of 1,400 dollars at only 95 k! I am going back to my Maxima after two years in the Toyota, and couldnt be happier. Newer and more expensive isnt always better!

  Overall good value - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By fredslane - April 13 - 2:00 am

  Bought the 4 and have been very satisfied with the engine power. Great mileage at 30 consistently. Huge trunk. A few issues: even with power drivers seat it is tough to find a comfy position; needs the telescoping & tilting wheel of the Sienna. Its difficult to read odometer in daylight (had dealer examine what I presumed was a defect, only to be told thats the way it is made!). With sunglasses it is impossible to read. Radio/cd sound is terrible and Im no audiophile. Brakes are also on soft side as others have opined. But smooth, strong, quiet acceleration makes for nice ride. Paid 20M out the door incl ABS, NY sales tax (8.5%).

  196,000 Miles... Time to buy another used Camry - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By Go Toyota - March 23 - 11:07 pm

  If you change the oil, keep it tuned and do the very basics of car care...this thing runs and runs and runs. Bought this unloved Camry at an estate auction well below blue book because it had been wrecked. Had 17k on it when we bought it. Repairs were all original Toyota parts according to the local Toyota dealer. 196,000 miles later despite the abuse of one of our young male drivers and we have yet to replace any parts on the car other than brakes and tires. Were giving the car away to someone who needs reliable transportation. At 196K the engine is not using oil and the compression all checks good. I bought another Camry LE (2010) with 28K on it for the very fact that we know that these cars go the distance if you do the basic maintenance. You get a nice sedan that makes your bucks go a very long way.

  Good car for what you want it for - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By Donut44 - March 10 - 1:30 am

  When it comes to just needing a quality car for a pretty good price, this is hard to beat. It has decent power when you need it, as long as that is "needing it" like once a day or less. The 4 cyl is built for comfort, mpgs and lasting ability. Cant speak for the latter yet, but the first two have been really good. About 28mpg on city travel, not sure on long distances yet.

  So far sooooo good - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By Seminole Fan - March 1 - 2:00 am

  After driving a 2000 Nissan Altima I was so excited to move over to a Camry. I have admired them for years and cant believe how well this one drives. Even though I have only owned it for a week, I can aleady tell we are going to be good friends for many years to come. I like how quiet and smooth it rides. My husband drove a Ford Explorer and the Camry has more room in it than the Explorer. Our family can have a conversation and everyone can hear it. So far...soooo good!

  Nice car- 1st time owner - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By chris 02 - January 15 - 9:46 am

  Overall this is a nice car. This is my 1st Camry and Im pleased with the car. I like the 5 speed even though is does hesitate when shifting. On the highway this is a sweet car and doesnt hesitate to go when you hit the pedal. I know one thing I will probably never go back to a american car brand the quality is no match and the design shows they thought everything out to benefit the consumer. I will definitely consider Toyota when the time comes to buy another car. It is fun to drive in nice weather with the sunroof open and the radio playing as you cruise down the road.

  My fourth Camry. - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By berk - January 13 - 10:00 am

  Built in Kentucky this is an "import" anyone could love. Good gas mileage, yet the model I have is fairly sporty and stylish. (My wife made me buy the sporty SE rather than my standard plain Jane model.) Ill put 50k miles on it and get another one.
