Overview & Reviews

The 1996 Toyota Camry remains virtually unchanged from last year's model. Minor engine adjustments mean that the four-cylinder is fully compliant with all on-board diagnostic standards, and is now certified as a transitional low emission vehicle power plant. Additionally, the interior of the DX line gets a new seat fabric, the LE Sedan is available with a leather package, and the Wagon can now be ordered with a power-operated driver seat.

  Great commuter - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By crisart - October 30 - 10:00 am

  This was a great purchase. Never worried at high altitude, in the snow, in the heat, it always ran beautifully. Routine maintenance and tires were all it needed.

  Just keeps on going - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By I heart the Mry - September 10 - 4:23 am

  My mom gave me this car in 2006 with about 140,000 miles on it. Earlier this year, I decided I should probably start saving for a new car, as the Toyota was getting old. By time this car dies Ill probably have saved enough to buy a new Mercedes. It just keeps going! At 173K right now with no major mechanical repairs. I have recently had little things happen, such as the trunk "pop" mechanism breaking, but I can access it through the backseat for now. I hope my next car (hopefully I can afford another Camry!) lives up to this ones standard.

  Amazing Car! - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By norminator78 - July 2 - 10:00 am

  This is one of the best cars ever made, period. The engine is bulletproof, quite, and pretty responsive for being as economical as it is. I averaged 35 on the highway! It has the perfect amount of interior room, the way it is laid out is perfect, and it has a very roomy trunk. I was very surprised at how great the factory speakers sounded when I swapped out the original cassette player for an Aiwa CD player. I sold this car with just over 160,000 miles on it, and it still ran and drove just as well, if not better than most newer cars I have driven. I only sold it because I wanted stick. I wish I hadnt sold it!

  Car salesmans review - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By bruce - May 6 - 10:00 am

  After 27 years in the car business, I have the pleasure to own & drive one of the finest built mid-size sedans made. I bought the car with 77000 miles, replaced the timing belt,water pump, drive belts and tires, and have thorughly enjoyed the car. I consistently average over 30+ mpg. The suspension could be a little firmer,but a very nice touring car.

  Great reliable car with over 200K miles - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By iluvdodgetrx - February 26 - 2:10 pm

  I have had this car about 9 months and I bought it for $700. I did some normal and much needed routine maintenance on it and it has never let me down. I have almost 211,000 miles on it and I expect many more

  College Commuter - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By neinta - November 30 - 10:00 am

  As a college student I wanted a car that was reliable and could handle the commute to and from school, 400+ miles a week. My 96 Camry has done all that and more. Although the gas mileage is not as high as some people seem to get, I can still get over 420 miles per tank. Although there have been some repairs, shes still going. I came close to totalling her last winter when I wrecked but I walked away with no bumps, bruises or scrapes. We chose to get he repaired and shes running better than ever. Safety and reliability are great! Shes close to 100k miles now and Im sure shell be around for many more.

  Camry forever - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By Toy4life - October 12 - 9:23 pm

  I bought mine 3 years ago almost to the day with 150,000 miles on it. I cant believe its already been 3 years, but got me thinking, this is the best car Ive owned. Ive owned Chevy, Fords & Toyotas, had a Tundra before this, but didnt like all the gas on the Tundra. Anyhow, this car is like Ive heard, Bulletproof, now has 205,000 miles on it, never a problem. I change the oil myself every 3000 miles & drive it 50 miles 4 days a week. It still gets, & Im amazed by this, going 60-65 mph on the freeway, 37 miles a gallon! I use fuel/injector cleaner once a month to aid in this. The white paint is still in great shape with a twice a year waxing. Could be the million mile car!

  Great beater or first car (96 camry LE) - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By Jeff - September 30 - 7:06 am

  My dad got me this car when I was 17. It was truly a bargain at $3300. Even though it had 91000 miles, it still runs great. The only problem was that a window did not work. But that isnt too bad. The power isnt great with only 125hp but it uses high revs to maintain better acceleration. It is great with gas and also very reliable. A year ago, my dad brought a 04 camry. It is crazy how much it didnt change since my 96 camry. If you are looking for a cheap car, make sure you get one that lasts. And I believe the camry fits this description.

  great car - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By chattanooga dad - August 23 - 10:00 am

  If you are looking for a great used car that is reliable, well-built, great mileage, and nicely designed, then this is the car for you. I believe that the 1996 model has better looking lines than its successor and you cannot beat Toyota for making a superb automobile. Although the four cylinder is not a race car, it does provide adequate pep and acceleration for most driving situations. Great for the student, wife, or the dad who needs a second car to run around with the kids. Routine maintenance is all this car needs.

  I have had nothing go wrong with this car to date. I have replaced the front brakes and all four tires, but thats it. Couldnt ask for a more reliable car.
