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 new Camry broke down within 3 weeks - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    The car is good and runs smooth, however, my 3-week old camry broke down. The engine needs to be rebuilt, and the dealer takes a long time to order the part and unwilling to fix it in a timely manner. Servicepeople at the particular dealership have extremely bad attitudes. Its a big trouble. I cant say its reliable from my horrible experience with this particular car. But I can say its the worst new car I have ever bought.

  • Best car I ever owned - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I now have about 115,000 miles on this car. There have been no problems. Even what I consider expected repairs came much later than expected; brake pads at 85,000, struts at 110,000. This is even after having been driven by two teenage boys. MPG is great; 27 on daily commute, and 34 on vacation road trips. i have enough confidence in this car that I let my son take it to college with him. I replaced it for my use with a 2007 Camry and have been disappointed. the 2004 is vastly superior.

    Odometer and cruise control indicator difficult to see in daylight. Steering wheel should have telescope as well as tilt...and very little range in the tilt.....difficult for a tall driver to find a comfortable position.

  • $7000 Less than a Lexus! - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    With the premium package and safety package it has virtually every feature of the Lexus ES330. Good construction and quality materials and fit. I had a problem with the sunroof not closing -- something to do with the computer?? It made me wonder if more could go wrong, as this car has a lot more gadgets than Im used to. There is a slight hesitation when youve almost stopped the car and then go again, like at a stop sign when you dont come to a complete stop. Im 511" and have good head and leg room. It is well designed for a comfortable ride and I like the little cubbyholes around the driver.

  • Its been perfect - 2004 Toyota Camry

    Ive been driving my 2004 Camry for 4.5 years now and have never had a single problem with any part of the car. I see another Camry in my future!

  • Camry over Accord. - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Bought the Camry LE w/ABS over the Accord LX. Had both at my house for 48 hours. The Camry has a smoother and quieter ride, more room and looks more expensive. The Accord is a good car and superior to the Altima and Galant, but doesnt stack up to the Camry. The Accord is a little quicker and has sportier handling, but if I wanted that Id buy a sports car not a 4 door sedan. I guess thats why the Camry is still outselling Accords. While testing the two cars I noticed that the Accord had a cheaper feel to its interior, the Camry just felt like a more expensive car. My final verdict came after I drove both on the interstate, the Camry won hands down!

  • very nice and a good value too - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Drives good, comfortable and quite at highway speeds. car feels classy but could use a little more convenience ergonamicly. fuel economy is decent. this car feels very safe to drive. I find visibility good too. trunk is big enough for good size luggage. Im looking forward to Toyotas reliability. I plan for a few road trips for the near future to really get a good feel for this car. I have only owned it for about a week now. Im glad I purchased this car. I feel comfortable and secure driving it. it does feel more expensive then it really is.
