Overview & Reviews

Toyota plays the market conservatively with the all-new Camry, giving consumers exactly what they want; a roomy, attractive, feature-laden car with available V6 performance and the promise of excellent reliability as well as resale value. The 1997 Toyota Camry is the new standard for midsize sedans.

• Lower price than last year, contemporary design, Toyota dependability, future resale value, ultimate family sedan

• Cheap-looking front fascia detracts from otherwise rich styling, still priced slightly higher than main competitors

  Good Old Lady - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By Sunday Driver - November 12 - 2:00 am

  It has been a reliable vehicle. Ive been good about maintaining it according to the owners manual. Had to replace the radiator a couple of years ago; has almost 110,000 miles on her. I was thinking about selling her cause little cosmetic things are breaking like the bezel on the drivers side cracked (had to open the door from the outside)and the center console lid hinge is cracked all the way down. Clear coat on hood is starting to peel. Thinking about buying an American made hybrid vehicle this time around. This good old lady has been a good ride.

  Toyotas are the best! - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By TP - October 18 - 5:30 am

  My 1997 Camry has over 200,000 miles on it and I love it. The only minor repair I had to do besides changing tires and brake pads, was replacing the timing belt and water pump back in 2001. But that repair was done at no cost because it was still under warranty. If you want a quality car, then look at Toyotas.

  Still going strong - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By toyota - September 7 - 2:00 am

  I bought my camry new in 97. The V6 is smooth and still very strong with over 130k miles. Its been in the shop once in 6 years for a small repair. This car handles great in the snow, the traction control helps.

  97 Toyota Camry = Bored Mechanic - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By Michael - June 6 - 8:23 pm

  This car has been in the family since day one in august of 1997 being my Moms, then my Sisters and now its mine. With 173,000 miles on it still running purrrrr-fect, still riding like a new cars this car has with- stood the test of time and still have lots more life in it. Repairs made have been typical maintenance, rear strut assemblies, a few light bulbs, an egr sensor, a battery, a power steering hose, and.... thats all I can think of being done in a 173,000 miles so we have 1 bored starving mechanic. Its a great ride high quality even used pick one up put about a grand in it and enjoy timeless reliability!!!

  Old Reliable... - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By sgarland85 - May 27 - 3:21 pm

  I wrote a review awhile back on here, which was positive, but I think I need to re-iterate. Ive had my Camry for 5 years and put on 65,00+ miles and it has not left me stranded once, period. Ive had to replace a few things here and there, but mostly just routine maintenance is all shes needed. After 17 years her metallic paint is still shiny.
