  • Steering Issues - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I miss the driving experience of my 2006 Camry SE which I traded for the 2009 Camry LE. The 09 body style and interior features are far superior to my 06 Camry but that takes a back seat to the less responsive steering. Soon after delivery it was evident that the car pulled to the left, whether it be interstate or back roads. It had a front end alignment at 5,000, soon after experienced the same issues. I wonder if others have experienced similar problems.

  • Great family sedan - 2009 Toyota Camry

    Bought this car used with 25K miles on it, but Ive had no problems. This isnt very flashy, just your typical Toyota Camry. It lacks the superior interior of the Accord, in fact the Camrys interior is quite pedestrian with a mediocre dash and cheap plastic coverings. However it is a very smooth ride, quiet engine. Not very sporty, but a reliable people mover.

    The Camry SE is probably overpriced in the Camry style, however, it does provide almost all features advertised. I find the comfort and interior design to be very good. Fuel savings are important and this 4cyl does the job.

    I didnt really purchase the car but my family rented it. Rides very nice and is very comfortable. Best Toyota I have ever ridden in. The motor is very quiet and the car is very nice. Keep it up Toyota!

  • The Good Bad and Ugly - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    We bought our 2009 Toyota Camry XLE in the winter of 2012 with 30,000 miles on it. We now have 77,500 miles on it. We are a bit disappointed at the amount of work weve had to do on it . . . we had to have the fuel pump replaced. The struts were next. New tires and, if memory serves me, a new battery as well. And now the ABS module is on the fritz. Fortunately, the first two repairs were under warranty. But, of course, as soon as our warranty runs out, we have the MAJOR expense of the ABS module to deal with. Its at the dealership now being diagnosed. We are anticipating a repair cost of $2000 or so. Not fun. The good - the car is comfortable, reliable (mostly) and gets good gas mileage. The bad - the repairs weve had to do. When you buy a car at a reputable dealership, you dont anticipate having such major repairs to make. The ugly - the $2,000 we will most likely be stuck with when we get the call from the dealership later today.

  • Very comfortable and quite. - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    My third Camry. Still keep 97 LE – 12 years of trouble-free service. The 09 one is very comfortable and quite, hope will be as reliable as my 97 Camry. 2.4 l four is perfectly adequate but so far I got 22 MPG on mixed driving – compare to my 97’s 26 MPG. Another disappointment is oil change – have to do it after each 5000 miles compare to 7500 in most other cars. On positive side – all other maintenance is almost non-existing, antifreeze & transmission fluid work for 90000 miles, spark plugs for 120000, timing belt is finally gone and chain does not need replacement. Things like stability/traction control, trip computer, body side molding, mud guards must be standard.

    I always thought that I would own 3 series BMWs but because of extremely poor dealership practices, I purchased the Camry for my wifes normal driving. While not as peppy as the 6 cyl. Bimmer, it is fine for everyday driving. We both love the car and I honestly feel that we have not stepped down in quality, comfort. Those interested in fine family car should consider.

    Bought my 2009 Camry SE in May, so far so good, the 4 cylinder has surprisingly good power, economy is right on, and better. Only have 1000 miles on it so still early for mechanical problems. Love the car so far.

  • Great car - 2009 Toyota Camry

    Great little car at a good price. nothing special but great mpg and good ride for the $$$$

  • All-around great car - 2009 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Ive had my LE for just over 12 months. Ive read several comments on the lack of comfort of the drivers seat. I have not experienced any such discomfort and I have painful arthritis in my lower back. There are several useful adjustments on the power seat. Also, Ive experienced no transmission issues as others have noted. Plain interior? Well, its a Camry LE for crying out loud. You want leather? Get the XLE. Id buy another LE in a hot second. Great car.
