  • Keeps Going and Going - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought this car 6 years ago from the first owner with 83,000 miles on it. Since then I have driven it up and down the east coast multiple times and went on a 26 day, coast to coast road trip racking up 9,725 miles. It now has 232,500 miles on it. Engine runs great, rides smooth, and besides routine maintenance and few replacement parts here and there its been low maintenance. It has become the go to car for road trips among friends and family because of its reliability and the fact that on the highway she gets 33 mpg consistently. I dont know how they did it, but Toyota may have made the best car on the road.

    Good Car! I bought this car off my grandparents, and they did not baby it. For the first 5 years my grandfather drove 19,000 miles year, and then he gave it to his wife. The car has over 131 K miles now. Runs great on regular gas. 4cylinder gets about 26 avg. mpg. Only had 1 major problem and that was the transmision went due to pulling a boat for 10 years. Also muffler went after 12 years other then that this was a great small car and has all the features you could need. Greater stater car for kids. Power windows, locks, mirros, cd player, etc.

  • I can see why... - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    After owning this car for a year and a half, I can see why it is the best selling car in America. My car gets around 27 MPG while being very comfortable, and the 4 cylinder engine, while not having tons of power, has good mid-range torque. It is a very comfortable car on the highway, and handles corners pretty well. The steering is, well, boring, but it gets the job done. Seeing as my car only has 93,000 miles on it, I plan on keeping it as long as possible.

  • Surprisingly bad - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I was surprised with all the trouble I had with it. I had to replace the rack, water pump, and radiator. When I managed to get rid of it, the heater didnt work and I was still having problems with the car overheating, there was a major leak in the air conditioning system, and the AT wasnt shifting well. I suspect that a previous owner must have badly mistreated this vehicle (and possibly rolled back the odometer), though its possible Toyota occasionally produces an individual lemon.

  • Forget the rest! - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I have had 15 cars in 30 years from Minis to Mercedes and this is the car to beat them all. My 2nd V6 Toyota, the 1st did 245,000 miles. Superb comfort, effortless V6 power, smooth ride, quiet and always reliable - this car flies along! In my opinion this is the best body shape of all the models, its a shame they changed it.

  • Sorry GM Ford and Chrysler - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Sorry for all 3 US automakers as they have never and maybe will never come up with a car as reliable and practical as a Camry. I bought this car with 118K and now has 184k, all highway miles. I dont take care of my cars and even then, its still running like a champ. I need a minivan now cause of my kids, so Ill be looking for a Toyota or Honda.

  • Just change the oil - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    My baby now enjoys this low maintanance 172,000 mile ride. It has to last another 8000 May 2003 when shell be my daughter the Doctor. 22 years in school is a long haul. The weak areas: Front exhaust pipe has been replaced every 5 years, CV joints about the same . I believe the rear struts are shot but no $$$ to have them replaced ..

  • Holy Cow!!!!! - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    Mom got it new and drove it 100,000 miles. My brother then took it and drove it up to 205,000. Ive got it now, and its got 319,456 miles. It was just in to the shop to clean the fuel injectors and a general tune-up, and the mechanics told me they couldnt believe how good the engine looked. Im on my way to 400K.

  • I will drive it till it falls apart! - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This was my second car. My first car was a Renault Alliance, I used that while I was going to school. I purchased this car 4 months out of nursing school and it was, without a doubt the best 20gs I spent. I havent put a lot of miles on it; I just turned over 100,000, but it has run great for me and I am afraid to trade it in for fear of getting a less reliable car! This car has grow with me, it was sporty enough for a single gal (I have the moon roof and I got the detail package), then a married gal and now a Mom. It has transitioned nicely with my personal life. It sure isnt as clean and it was when I didnt have any little ones!!!

  • A Reliable, No Frills, No Nonsense car - 1992 Toyota Camry
    By -

    If youre just looking for an oldie but goody, no frills, point a to point B, this is a great car. Very reliable, 25 to 30 combined miles per gallon, nice comfortable and quiet ride. Not luxurious or sporty, but starts every time and runs great. The only bad points for me are fuel economy...with a small four I would expect better, and also power is a little iffy on hills and from a start, its still very zippy and since most other non-turbo 4-cylinders are similar, I cant fault it. The Transmission is fairly solid but will bog down on hills, otherwise a smooth shift. Fairly comfortable as I slept in it one night with the seat down. Only bad thing is I have replaced two A/C systems.
