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

  Fantastic - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By Becca - September 14 - 12:36 am

  Our Camry is a 1997 XLE V6 fully loaded with 107,000 miles and still looks, feels, and drives like a brand new car. We had the car checked out before the purchase and were told by our mechanic that the Camrys will run forever and that the XLE V6 is the Lexus ES300 with the Toyota label. Every single part is interchangeable. We couldnt be happier with our decision to purchase this car.

  Our car only has 135,000 miles on it. Almost not a single problem the whole time for 18 years. Excellent car to own.

  By erock - July 18 - 11:46 pm

  Only had this car a month but its by far one of the best cars Ive owned. 120,000 miles when I got it and it runs like new. The solidity and quality are unmatched. Replaced the tires and wipers so far but thats it. Would recommend this car to anyone.

  Years and years of trouble-free driving - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By Pat - June 3 - 6:36 am

  Brakes, tires, gas and oil are all this car has needed for 10 years/150k miles. It just keeps going, so my only complaint is boredom. The car is the most dependable I have owned and gets you from point A to point B, without much excitement along the way. I eventually had some front-end and suspension work done so that I can keep it as a second car. It feels like it still has several more years in it.

  Its a keeper - 1997 Toyota Camry
  By Sue - April 10 - 11:30 pm

  I bought my Camry new. During the first 5 years I had to spend some money on unreasonable problems like a clunking noise that sounds like the car was falling apart. My mechanic told me its a manufacturer defect but the manufacturer didnt recall because its not a safety issue. I spent about $300 to fix this problem because it really bothered me. There were some other strange problems but now at 120,000 miles it runs great. I do regular oil change and tune up and replaced the water pump and timing belt at 90K. Also replaced the tires twice and brakes. I just spent $250 for a full service wax and now its shining like new! Im planning to keep it.

  The car runs great! I replaced the struts, brakes and timing belt at 60k, and have redone the brakes at 90K, continued with the scheduled oil changes and what a quality car. I purchased my first Camry in 1990 new and have not bought an American car since. Everything works on my 97 and I plan to keep it for 10 more years. A top quality vehicle.
