Overview & Reviews

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.

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

  From Cadalic to Camry with Joy - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By elza - December 24 - 10:00 am

  After two decades of driving big gas- drinking tanks, I moved on to a Camry which I love. It handles well, is gas efficent and fits my lifestyle so well. I think it is pretty and easy to park! I only wish it had rear-view mirrors that automatically dim the lights of the driver behind you, a carryover from my Caddy years! I wont go back to a gas gussler again!

  The plain yogurt sedan - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By steam loco 76 - December 23 - 11:10 pm

  This was my first Toyota and probably my last. Transmission replaced at 2300 miles. Problem returned at 5600 miles-traced to faulty valve body. Trunk lid rust at six months- repainted under warranty. Several squeaks and rattles from the dash and front door could not be fixed. Thermostat failed at 40K, not covered. Steering intermediate shaft loose and clunking at 42K. Toyota refused coverage even though a TSB was issued about this problem. Repair cost over $600. Engine always used about 16 oz of anti-freeze every 5K. Toyota said that was "within tolerable limits". Drive by wire throttle tip-in is very abrupt making a smooth launch tough.

  This car handles beautifully! The 4 cylinder engine has plenty of power and acceleration.

  It grows on you - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By Onxyl - November 6 - 10:56 pm

  Purchased a 2004 LE V6 Camry used. Already have a 2001 LE V6. 04 model has a different body style that is vastly quieter and somewhat larger. The 04 was the first year for the 5 sp auto on the V6 and improves mileage on trips and decreases noise at high speeds, but the transmission shifting is much worse (and erratic) in the city than my 01. All TSBs have been applied. Dealer indicates it is operating as designed. Transmission also now requires Toyota fluid (vs Dextron 3 for 01). Ride seems somewhat smoother, but this is less noticable than the improvement in cabin noise. Rear doors are longer, making exit/entry more difficult. Trunk went from large to absolutely huge.

  The Best Car You Will Ever Own - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By NateDOC - October 16 - 10:00 am

  Hands down, you will never find another vehicle like the Camry that is as reliable, comfortable, stylish, and holds its value so damn well...sure, you may pay a little more up front, but you will more than make up for it in the long run, This is one car that wont nickel and dime you to death like a "domestic car" (even though the Camry is made right here in the USA)...also, its resaleability is second to none.

  Better late than never? - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By Rick Wunder - October 14 - 12:00 pm

  Its been 4 years since I picked up my Camry. It now has 99,000 miles, and I have had zero problems with it. I replaced the original Michelin tires at 75k miles, along with the rear brakes. Front brakes were done at 98,000 miles. Id like to see improved instrument panel lighting. It is difficult for my 59 year old eyes to see the gauges (including the speedometer) at night. From what Ive seen, this has been improved in later model years. Although this is a lot of car for the money, I would have gladly spent a bit more for traction control, but it was not available with the 4 cyl. engine.

  Customer Overview - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By James Williamson - October 4 - 2:00 am

  Excellent experience so far. Ive had the car four just under four months and approximately 3000 miles. No problems what so ever. I particularly like its handling characteristics when driving in snow and ice. I would have liked a larger V6 but the current engine is satisfactory and has enough pep to make me feel confortable passing on two lane roads.

  V6 XLE Camry - I Love It! - 2004 Toyota Camry
  By gatesh - October 4 - 2:00 am

  I love this vehicle. I traded up from a 2001 LE V6 Camry. The 2001 V6 Camry had slightly better pickup, but the 2004 has a much improved interior design (cup holders, map lights, arm rest compartment) and the 2004 Camry is way more comfortable. The interior controls are very easy to use. The XLE is loaded with added features and is well worth the extra money. The car is great on snow and ice (you dont need the traction control).
