Camry XLE better than Avalon or Lexus - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Carolina Bob - October 5 - 10:00 amTested Avalon XLS and Lexus ES300. Even the salesman agreed the Camry is a much better buy. Paid less than TMV and then got the $1,000 rebate and Toyoguard at same price. Toyoguard is not a good product, but Southeast Toyota does it to upper end cars as they receive them. Avalon with almost comparable equipment was $4,300 more from same dealer and Lexus was $3,000 more with older model sound system. At 3,500 miles, its a great car, well designed and appointed. Not sure what good RDS radio is in Southeastern US though.

Rear suspension Noise - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Dissatisfied Custome - August 23 - 10:00 amThe right rear suspension has a thumping noise that is very loud on washboard types of roads. The city streets of PA are not always the best but there is no excuse for having this much suspension noise. This is only on the right rear and usually when the left wheel hits a bump. A thumping noise seems to emanate from the stabilizer bar and right rear strut. Three times to the dealer and no repair or relief.. they tell me that other Camrys have the problem and they are waiting on Toyota to come up with a repair for this noise. I do not expect a new car to have this kind of noise. It was so noisy on one section of roard that my grandson asked if it is safe.

Loose Drivers Seat - 2003 Toyota Camry
By gregory - July 27 - 4:30 amThe drivers seat design is poor. The seat "pops" while driving. I am told that this is a normal feature. It is very distracting to have the seat move when I start and stop. Ive had anti- freeze leaks(4). The cars ride is poor-it has a tendency to roll while driving in a straight line.

Plain Vanilla - 2003 Toyota Camry
By belaircarguy - July 19 - 10:03 amFirst Toyota I have owned. Nice car, but feels like I have purchased and am driving a toaster. Car is lightweight on the highway and blows around if following a semi trailer. Front seats are not supportive and my legs go to sleep after 30-45 minutes of driving, due to very short seat cushion. Perhaps my 6 foot size is a factor, but I am slim in build also.

380k and Still going - 2003 Toyota Camry
By M.k. - June 9 - 10:03 pmI purchased this Camry new in 12/02. I commute to work about 120 miles everyday, and this car has served me well for 380,000 miles. I change the oil every 3,000 miles. Ive changed with suspension 3 times, brakes have been done 3 times. Apart from routine maintenance, the only problem this car has given me, was the A/C compressor went out at 210k. Not a big deal considering when it was replaced. I treat this car well, and it returns the favor. You cant get any better than that.

Great Car - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Mink - May 29 - 10:00 amNo problems whatesoever with this car. It rides smooth, is fast, has all the bells and whistles, and gets good gas mileage. The best car me and my family have ever bought.

#1 for a reason - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Hazem - April 27 - 2:00 amI bought an XLE with sunroof and leather and my wife and I absolutely love the car. Its very roomy but not bulky. The interior is beautiful yet simple. The overall build quality is fantastic. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy, inside or out. The trunk is huge, the gas mileage is great, and the price is reasonable. It drives very well. The engine is really quiet and smooth as silk. The handling is a nice mix of performance and comfort. The most significant feature of the car is its proven reliability. Toyota really hit a home run with this car and I cant praise it enough. If youre going to buy one be sure to get the leather and the sunroof.

Toyota is the best - 2003 Toyota Camry
By Fardarter - April 25 - 6:46 amThere was no need for me to purchase a car of this class. While I enjoy driving powerful, well-built, new cars, a smaller car, like the Corolla or a Honda Civic would have served me just fine. The Camry, however, not only has an elegant and attractive design. It holds the road magnificently. Having learned how to drive in Italy, I have chosen the manual 5-speed model, which turned out to be economically wise. Having full control of the gear shift, I make up to 38 miles with a gallon on the highway and never less than 30 in city driving. The engine is poweful and the vehicle has the right weight for its length and width. Its stability is enviable even on rainy roads.

Bad experience, not what they were - 2003 Toyota Camry
By RyanMurphy - April 24 - 2:00 pmI expected a solid car that would get me around town. What I got is a car that barely gets me around town. The car is a clunker in all honesty. I have 51,000 miles and Ive been to the repair shop quite a bit. My transmission went out. My intake manifold cracked and had to be replaced. I have been through 2 sets of brakes and my steering wheel is all over the road. My tires are new.
