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.

  By Shelby - September 12 - 5:14 am

  I have had this car for about 11 years now and it is still going strong! It is at 302,000 miles on it and has had no major problems. It hasnt needed anything besides routine maintainance and a new battery. I will be sad when my Camrys time comes. Very reliable car.

  Bullet Proof Car - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By bechman74 - August 24 - 10:00 am

  We have owned this car since 1998. Bought it with 26K miles and now have 133K in Oct 2004. My wife put it into a ditch 9-11-01 by accident and dented the compressor and radiator...it has been to the shop for this accident ZERO times! I recently ran over a concrete barrier avoiding a crossing SUV...ZERO damage. The sound of the doors closing is still solid as the day we bought it. I had to replace the thermostat at 125K. We had the water pump go out at 40K and it was replaced under warranty. Brakes were replaced around 115K. Great vehicle that is used solely as a daily commuter for a round trip of 40 miles...and still gets ~29mpg!!!

  Love x 2 - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By jplum46 - July 7 - 7:38 am

  Im writing a review on two 1996 Camrys. The first I bought not knowing anything about Camrys introduced to them by a friend. I really only felt that I had a decent car really didnt think much about it until I paid it off. Then i realized that I still had a new car with no payments. I started paying more attention to maintenance (wasnt that on time at first) and drove this car for another 7 years. Really the car was still like new and I had personalized it with all the latest radio and alarm features that the new cars had. Then last year it was totaled and I was heartbroken. Well I got on the net and found another same color 100mi away with 193,000mi. Had it shipped and I am in heaven!!!

  Big problems cropping up - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By grillman - June 2 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Camry new in 1996 and its been pretty solid until this year. It developed a major transmisssion leak and rear main engine seal leak at 85000 miles. This is a very expensive repair as the entire front subframe had to be removed to fix the leaks. Now the steering rack is leaking and this is another $500 repair. So much for Toyota QUALITY and RELIABILTY. No vehicle with this mileage should have these problems. I tried to get Toyota to pick up some of the cost for these repairs and they basically blew me off. This is my last Toyota.

  Good Bet - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By Japanesecarlover - May 30 - 12:00 am

  Bought the car with 114,000 miles on it and it runs better than all my friends cars with fewer miles. The interior ergonomics are to notch and so is the comfort. I drove it from Denver to Portland Oregon and it was a joy the entire time. The four cylinder purrs at idle and gives a satifying note on hard accel. (The engine is a version of an old Celica engine.) In Oregon, the acceleration of the 4 cyl is good, but at high altitude, such as in Colorado, it is lacking. This is something to take in to consideration. I would suggest getting the silky-smooth V6. The economy of the V6 is comparable to the 4 cyl. Body roll is moderate. Suited more for a comfortable ride, not a sporty one.

  This is a great car! - 1996 Toyota Camry
  By Shirlee - May 3 - 10:00 am

  My 1996 1996 Toyota Collectors edition 4-dr Camry is the best car Ive ever owned (in 33 years). It is very roomy, dependable and fun to drive. In the Pacific NW we have alot of SUVs but my Camry drives through ice and snow like a champion.
