Side-impact airbags debut on the 1998 Toyota Camry. Depowered front airbags further enhance this car's ability to protect its occupants in a crash. An engine immobilizer feature is now part of the theft-deterrent package.
- Reliable, well-built, and comfortable, the 1998 Toyota Camry is one of the best entrants in the mid-size family sedan market.
- Boring shape. Suspension is too soft.

BEST CAR I HAVE OWNED YET - 1998 Toyota Camry
By justusgirlzz - April 26 - 10:00 amThis car is a dream compared to other cars i have owned and operated. The 4 cylinder engine in my Camry blows away the V6 I had in my Ford Taurus. The car handles the road and turns very well, has a very smooth ride. The built-in CD player is great and the sound system very nice. I have driven the car for 35,000 miles so far and besides having had the oil changed every 5,000 miles and replacing the brakes, no problems at all. I believe I am hooked on the Camrys for life. Next time, I may try out the V6 Camry, not that it is even necessary, because my 4 cylinder kicks the butt of most V6s out there anyway. But more power is never a bad thing.

Great car! - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Eric - March 15 - 2:33 pmExcellent 4 door sedan. It is as smooth, quiet and comfortable as most luxury sedans, and despite being nine years old with over 100,000 miles, still drives and looks like a new car. The gas mileage is better than many smaller cars (27 in town, 35 highway), and this vehicle is still roomy and comfortable for four good sized adults. The four cylinder engine has better power than I would expect, and handling is not bad for a family sedan.

Value-ablility - 1998 Toyota Camry
By bman - January 14 - 7:16 pmJust at 173K and this car has been as reliable as could be. Other than actual scheduled maintenance, we have little or no "other" stuff to do to this car. I wish I would have put leather into the car. I did put a XM radio and upgrade the music system at 130K and its well worth it. My 18 y/o son wants this car and we think it could go another 100K or better.

Skeptical, but impressed! - 1998 Toyota Camry
By j.halloffame - January 10 - 10:40 amI bought this car in 9/09 to replace my dying 91 Accord with 232k miles. The only reasons I got it was because its a well priced one owner car with 90k miles. I wasnt even considering a Camry in my entire car search. 7/10 and 25k miles later this car is still going STRONG. Only thing Ive done is my oil changes and replaced the tires. Car performs adequate, has enough storage space, and is INCREDIBLY reliable, but it is a Toyota. I plan to keep it for years to come and get it to the same mileage as my Accord had, unless I find a cheap Lexus IS 300 to buy. ;)

Runs great. - 1998 Toyota Camry
By chicagocamry - July 17 - 10:13 amTraded in RWD sports car for this FWD sedan to deal with Chicago winters and never looked back. This thing just keeps going and going. Did some regular maintenance (oil, brakes, tires, battery, struts), but no mechanical problems for 8 years now. Has over 120k and drives like new.

keeps on runnin - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Da Bears! - February 4 - 8:23 amJust passed 150k miles on this baby and it still runs great. Other than regular maintenance, no major repairs. Only minor problem is with the trim on the drivers door (the vinyl on armrest is separating).
