This Year's Model Updates:

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.

  • My Camry - 1996 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I have loved this car since I bought it. I was intending to drive it to 200,000 miles, but now I have been hit in a rearend collision and I will probably have to trade it in.

  • Great Vehicle! - 1996 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought this 13 months ago from a friend of mine for a mere $1,500. It had about 148K on it and Ive put probably 15K on it since. Within the past year Ive had to change a battery, replace a cooling fan, and thats about it. Nothing major. It starts up every time and runs great. I get roughly 30mpg on the highway and 20-something around town. Its not a beauty, but its certainly a great car for its utility.

  • My First Car - 1996 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This was my first car and I have to say I was pleased with it. It ran well and always got me where I needed to go. A lot of room to and easy to maintain. The gas milage is great. I would drive at least 30 miles a day (thats a lot for a highschool senior) and I would only have to fill up every other week for $20. It was totalled when I was hit in the side, but it took a lot of impact and I came out completely safe.

  • Camry Great NEW - SO SO Used - 1996 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought a 96 Camry brand new and sold it Aug 2005 with 45,000 miles. Never hit, paint/interior perfect. The resale value of $5,500 is great for a 9 year old car. However, the car had some repairs, the motormounts went, cracking the exhaust pipe, the flimsy door handle cracked off in the cold and the drivers seat belt stopped working. Now at 60,000 miles it will need a timing belt, tune up plus the 60,000 binding U joint camry defect and in a few years an expensive exhaust and strut issue. Camrys are great, but dont believe the hype, they break a lot less than a similar american car, but with the added price and expensive parts they are not a good used car choice.

    I bought it in l997 and it has given me 5 years of good riding, reliability,low and inexpensive maintenance and fun to drive. It still looks good and has alot of life left. Highly recommend.

  • Above Reproach - 1996 Toyota Camry
    By -

    From a reliability/quality standpoint, this car has been above reproach. Havent even had to replace the brakes (78K miles so far). Every thing has always worked. Never had to do anything but change the oil and do scheduled service. Could use more power, but my wife doesnt care (shes the primary driver). If I were to buy one for myself, Id have a V6. The Camrys predecessor in our household was a Jetta (also purchased new). I will never never never go back!

  • Reliable but needs more soul! - 1996 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This is acaully me parents car that i will get in 2 years. It in ok car with good passing power except when you need to merge. Good gas milage, about 21mpg. Comfy interior but exterior design is ugly! Handling is ok but has improved from the new michellen tires. Now has pretty good traction in the snow. ABS is a very nice feature in bad weather driving.
