This Year's Model Updates:

For the 2004 Toyota Camry, a new 3.3-liter V6 is standard on SE V6 models. Relative to last year's 3.0-liter V6, this engine offers 33 more horsepower and an additional 31 pound-feet of torque, boosting ratings to 225 and 240, respectively. Fortunately, Toyota has also boosted the 3.0-liter engine's output -- it now makes 210 hp and 220 lb-ft of torque in V6-equipped LE and XLE models. Both V6 engines come standard with a five-speed automatic transmission this year. In other news, a new trim has been introduced; the Limited Edition Camry comes in an exclusive crystal-white color, and offers a unique front grille, standard foglamps and champagne-color exterior badging.

Pros:
  • Roomy, comfortable, plenty of safety and luxury features, high resale value, strong reputation for reliability.
Cons:

    I regret purchasing this car. Rear visibility is horrendous, especially for parking. I can feel every change in the road surfa

  • Still enjoy the car after 2 1/2 years - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    We bought the car as a certified used car with 38,000 miles on it and now have 97,000 with no problems whatsoever. On a recent trip to Houston we drove between 60 and 65 MPH and got 35.5 MPG! (New tires and wheel alignment prior to the trip.) Love the lumbar support and the quiet ride. The only complaint is the easily scratched exterior paint. Much less road noise than the Hondas we have owned.

  • Perfect - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    The Toyotya SE is the perfect combination of a reliable 4 dr sedan with sportier styling inside and out. The 4-cylinder has surprising pep. The optional 16" wheels are a must to finish off the sporty look.

  • Toyota Quality Slipping - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    First Toyota my wife and I have owned. Looking forward to many trouble free years based on review of others. After a year our car had the fuel system replaced. Last week the steering shaft was replaced due to a defect. This will be our last Toyota.

  • The Best Car That I Have Ever Owned! - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought this vehicle used with 90,000km on the odom. I paid the full price as if it was brand new: $33,000. The interior was not in great condition. I hated the silver color. I drove it 5,000km before it was stolen from Edmonton, Alberta. It was recovered 3 months later with 40,000km than when I bought it. It was driven day and night and was stolen by drug dealers I suppose. The engine was gone on the vehicle due to not changing the oil. If you are going to steal a vehicle maybe perhaps check the oil once in a while! The car while I had it was fun to drive and with the 4 cylinder extremely excellent!

  • Toyota Does It Again! - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I bought this model a month and a half ago, and Im still raving about it. The ride is incredibly smooth, the interior accents are brilliant, and the luxury is exceptional. I have the XLE V6 model, with navigation system, and I have never been so pleased with a vehicle. I have owned Toyotas for the last 12 years, and this one is the best of all.

  • Rattles & Rough Transmission - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    The dash rattles, quirky transmission and problematic sunroof mar an otherwise excellent car. 02 & 03 models had the same rattles (due to windshield installation issues) but it appears the 04 models are no better. Transmission stutters when shifting from 1st to 2nd at 3,000 rpm. Sunroof refuses to close more than half-way, then you have to push it by hand.

  • 2002 camry - 2004 Toyota Camry

    this car would rate a 10 if it didnt have so much engine and rear door noise.

  • VW to Toyota- Return to Toyota - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I moved up to this mid size from a 96 VW Golf. It is smooth, quiet, great on windy days on a bridge, with a spacious interior. Fit and finish are tops, as are features, even with the stripped down version I purchased. It is not as much fun to drive as my Golf-Steering is a bit light. To quote an elderly family member-" the colors and features are nice, but it just doesnt thrill me." Acceleration is very good- all weather tires in snow are just OK- will get snows next year. Mileage does not match specs. Others more impressed with it than I. After 13 years of VWs, my reaction is perhaps not surprising.

  • Fun and economical - 2004 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I replaced my 90 Honda Prelude in Nov. 2003 with this brand new 4 door Salsa Red Pearl Toyota Camry LE Automatic and I have already racked up 4K miles due to the fun driving and comfort I have experienced with it. I highly recommend buying this with a budget of less than 20K.
