- Reliable, well-built, and comfortable, the 1998 Toyota Camry is one of the best entrants in the mid-size family sedan market.

Miss My Camry :( - 1998 Toyota Camry
By 2.2 Camry LE Sedan - May 19 - 10:06 pmThis was my second car; first was a 91 Civic LE. After it died suddenly, I had 2 days to buy a new car. I needed something really reliable so I looked at Camrys. I had the car a little over a year when someone pulled out in front of me and i totaled it. When I bought the car it had 85k and it had 93k when I lost it. This car was amazing. I had intended on keeping it until I ran it into the ground, which I figured would be around 250-300k. Car had 1 owner b/f me. I took meticulous care of it. It was an amazing car. W/ snow tires, it safely took me over Snoq. Pass (WA) in the snow several times, and around snowy Sea and Spo. This is one of best cars out there, better than brand new Am sedans.

1998 Toyota Camry - A True Workhorse - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Tony Vee - February 12 - 6:39 amBought this car used in 2005 with 54K, now has 155K and still going strong! Great dependability, low maintenance, paint still shines and is very roadworthy - I would not hesitate to drive this car cross country. Aside from routine maintenance, a new radiator, and upgraded stereo system, this car is bone stock. Drives as good as the day I bought it. Recently had to take a 1K mile round trip and this car handled like a champ. Over the summer we took a family vacation to the mountains, which tend to be hard on any transmission much less one that is 17 years old and again no issues. When I purchased this car 10 years ago, I wasnt in a position to buy a new car, which certainly isnt the case today. Regardless Im holding on to the most dependable car I have ever owned, my 1998 Camry. If one day I do give in and decide to buy another car, it will be another Camry!

Totally Awesome - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Martin - January 14 - 8:30 pm227,000 miles. Never dreamed I would be driving a car with this many miles, but now I am. I have had a Corolla, Vibe (Matrix), and now this Camry and love them all. I bought it last November and planned to drive it as a beater until I could afford to get something else, but i love it too much to get rid of it. Highly recommend this car to anyone who needs room, quality, and good gas mileage. Keep up the good work, Toyota!! I am one of your greatest fans.

Outstanding all-around family sedan - 1998 Toyota Camry
By hercdrvr - January 13 - 10:00 amOutstanding all around car. Unless you really need an SUV, the sedans are an even better value than ever. Seems everybody wants an SUV - hell, even I WANT one - they are very nice. Im just not willing to spend 30-40K and get 15-18mpg in the process. Not to mention the cost of tires and increased insurance. Great safety features - mine has front side airbag option. Ratings for crash are top-notch. Comfort - awesome. Power - I have 4 banger so I expect a little less but it is surprisingly nimble.

Toyota Camrys Rock - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Brooke Moore - November 25 - 7:06 pmThe only thing I have ever had to do with my car is change the brakes. It has been the most reliable car I know of. It is comfortable and gets wonderful gas mileage. When or if I trade it in or sell it I will only renew it for another Camry.

Best Car Ever - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Mark - October 11 - 10:00 amI am one of those people that grows tired of cars after 2 years, but this one is a keeper. Bought it with 79K and now have 124K. The car looks, drives and sounds like new at 12 years old. The V-6 is one of the greatest engines ever in terms of performance and reliability. Weak points are wheels, which corrode with road salt and thin, easy-dent body panels. The best of nearly one dozen cars Ive owned.

Phenominal car - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Witt - September 9 - 2:43 amIve had this car for almost 4 years and I havent had to do anything besides basic upkeep. Its been in a couple fender benders and those only caused cosmetic damage! the only problem I have is its hesitant to start during the winter but the hood is bent from a wreck. Only problem with the car is its very boring to drive. Its a great car that lasts forever and gets you from A to B

Will buy no other - 1998 Toyota Camry
By joe z - August 24 - 10:00 amThis is without a doubt the best auto I have ever owned. No problems since I purchased it and still have the same original brakes on it even tho consumer reports that it was the problem with this year. Im an old hot rod man and let me tell you this think also has sum guts from a light.

Excellent! - 1998 Toyota Camry
By fred158 - August 8 - 9:20 amI bough it when it has 224K on it. The price was so low that I could afford, but, this car has never disappointed me. I have replaced starter, battery, some shafts, now engines get turned on in a second in winter. 4 wheel ABS works perfectly and I had never been troubled by it. Shocks make sound over humps and bumps but its ok, Im using it in a small town with speed limit<45., so, no problem! Even replacing the whole shock and strut for one wheel would not be more than 400$. Its a great car that I got for a great price!

Top Notch - 1998 Toyota Camry
By Susie - July 7 - 3:33 pmVehicle was inherited from a family member in 2005 with about 35,000 miles on it then. It has performed extremely well and have put another 36500 on since then. The Camry is used mostly for driving within a 45 mile radius but has been driven on several 4000 mile trips over the last couple of years. It is not garaged since it is a third car, but the finish still looks good. Had to replace the catalytic converter a few months ago and the drivers window sometimes has a problem staying on track. Interior is flawless. Other than that nothing but normal maintenance.
