Camry LE models get 15-inch tires with new wheel covers while the XLE gets standard 16-inch tires. Four-cylinder models make three more horsepower than last year. Interior upgrades include an available JBL premium audio system, automatic climate control, larger buttons on the audio faceplate, imitation wood trim on XLE models, optional leather seats with driver-side power on LE models and new LE model seat fabric. The hood is now supported with struts and dampers.

  • Excellent Value for the Money - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Wow. This was a good buy. I had a 1998 Contour SE before this and its a much different feeling. Interior looks like higher quality materials were used. More convenience features like extendable visors make it nice. This is a soft, quiet ride. Even on the freeway. Albeit, more passing power could be used on the freeway, at the time I just couldnt find one with the V6 :( Insurance costs are a bit up there though but overall a good purchase in my mind. Avg 25 mpg with good mix of city & freeway.

  • True Toyota Reliabilty - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I purchased this car in 2008 with 155k miles. This car was properly maintained and because of that, it was in practically new condition when I bought it. The only thing that had to be replaced in its lifetime was the water pump, which almost any car needs replaced at that age. It also had new wheels and brake pads. I test drove a newer Mitsubishi for the same price. Compared to the Camry, the Mitsubishi felt like a golf cart. The build quality of a Toyota is like non other, except for Lexus (but theyre made by Toyota anyway). If properly maintained, this car could easily last 300,000 or more miles.

  • Never again - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Most uncomfortable car I have ever owned. Power seat adjusts only 4 ways. When seat is back to where it needs to be I have to extend arms to reach steering wheel. If I adjust wheel down it rubs legs even with seat completely down. Power is barely adequate and fuel economy is only so-so for a 4 cyl car. I expected more. Road noise is so bad that radio has to be turned up substantially at highway speed. American cars had better radios 25 years ago.

  • Overrated car - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    My Camry was a 5-speed, which was the only plus. This car was fairly reliable, never had any probs with it. Of course that is the camrys selling point: reliability. Reliability aside, this car was a piece of crap. It had horrible accelleration (sp?), poor handling, and was a boring ride overall. No power to the engine at all. What a supreme disappointment! The Accord is a much better car-- go with the Accord. I wish i had :(

  • Outstanding car - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Bought car new, just put first set of brakes at 75000 miles. Put an oxygen sensor in at 72000. No other repairs as yet, just normal service intervals and one set of tires, uses no oil. Well run it forever. Ive owned 8 Toyotas and this is one of the best manufactured; also have now a 2006 Avalon.

  • Toyota = Quality and Reliability - 2000 Toyota Camry

    Our Camry is used for a family car and has not had a single problem. Oil change, new tires and battery..thats it!

  • Solid, Reliable Car - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This is an overall great car. Never any problems, only routine maintenance. I drive hard and it still responds like it did 70k miles ago. It may not be the most exciting car in the world, but you dont have to worry about taking it for repairs all the time or paying a ridiculous amount for gas. Its nice to have a paid off car that it still somewhat modern looking and you know youll be able to drive for another 100k+!

  • Vanilla, Reliable - 2000 Toyota Camry

    Boring car, but drives forever with no maintance. I have driven this car for two years and have had no problems what so ever. All I have done is oil changes. Awesome, but boring.

  • Wow! Awesome - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Ive been driving this car for about five years, absolutely no problems. Which was a pleasant surprise considering 4 of the 5 years were from college driving, which was very tough on the engine Im sure. Other than regular scheduled maintenance (oil changes, filter changes, etc.) I havent had a single problem with the car, not one. Also, I have the v6 model, and was quite surprised at how "peppy" the car was even at high speeds.

  • Best generation of Camry, in my opinion - 2000 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Always liked this generation the most, later they declined in build quality and too many electronic refinements: drive-by-wire throttle, automatic climate control. Also they stopped offering V6 with stick. Mine has leather, alloy wheels, sunroof. Bought used in 2009 with 64,000 miles for around $7500, probably could have negotiated dealer down but really wanted this car because of rarity. And besides regular maintenance and some worn out parts: suspension springs, clutch, and evap. charcoal canister, have had no unexpected issues. Engine is one of the best Toyota has ever made, great compromise between power and fuel economy. We have 123,000 now, happy that we bought it. K&N air filter too
