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:

  • Poor exterior body paint - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Car is comfortable to be driven, handling is good, excellent fuel economy on highway and city driving. Poor body paint job, thin and easily scratch by light bump. Trunk is quite large but trunk lid is made so light that it requires a push right on the center top of the lid. Automatic light sensor is not install as written in the manual, unlike on Corolla it comes standard. Overall this car offers good value for a family sedan.

    I bought my 03 Camry LE to commute from san diego to LA DAILY...and put 40,000 miles on it in a flash without getting worn out. Im sellin it for almost what I paid for it (on sale @ 15,688) since I put in the moonroof, spoiler and tinted window and the white car looks like the SE sport model and buying a 2004 Camry LE limited edition now that I am driving regular miles again. I love the cars handling, comfort, utility and mileage as well as performance and beelieve it to be the best car offered for the features and value it offers. IF ou havent driven one before you buy any car...DRIVE THIS ONE..and your decision will be a "NO brainer" :)

  • Great Value - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Camry continues to deliver a very reliable and practical package. Ride is comfortable and quiet, very quiet. In fact I would say its on par or even better than some high-end luxury cars. This is my second V6 LE and I am not disappointed. The only gripe I have is the start up pick up and erratic / delayed shifting at start. The pick up issue can be overcome by flooring the gas. Overall, very happy with the choice I made. You get a lot of car for your $$ compared to the competition.

    13,500 trouble free miles. Comfortable, even on long trips. Noticeably quiet with refined road manners compared to our 99 Accord EX. Excellent braking comes in useful in sudden stop traffic. Lots of useful space and compartments. Convenient access in/out. Only major complaint is transmission lag is quite noticeable, especially while merging with short windows of opportunity( Ex: On/Off Ramp = same lane).

  • Some Surprises - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Within a week after taking delivery I (and others in the vehicle) noticed several squeaks & rattles. The dealer has ordered a replacement center dash and is still trying to resolve the noises coming from the parcel shelf area. Loose seatback was repaired as was exterior door rub guard. I was surprised as this vehicle came so well rated. I average 1,500 kms per week so time will tell how this unit will hold up.

  • Overall: A decent car. - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought this car a little over a year ago. So far, everything has been all right, (at best). Heres the deal, so far my cars been completely reliable to me, but then again any car should be within the first few years. THE BAD: (and I need to take it to a dealer on this: 1.) Leaking water sound EVERY time I accelerate. Sounds like water is swooshing around in dash, 2.) FOUL ODORS, when accelerating fast, and when turning on the A/C. 3.) for whatever reason (especially when humid, the belt squeals constantly. 4.) Interior quality is poor. The "painted plastic" is wearing everywhere. 5.) Gas mileage is not what I thought it would be, Could be due to one of the above issues? Dont know.

  • Camry XLE Opinion - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    The Camry XLE V6 is an excellent car, probably one of the most reliable cars on the road today. We have had 0 defects and have spent $0 on repairs in the first 30,000 miles.
