Year / Model Reviewed: 2008 le
Summary: This is a beautifully designed car. Both interior and exterior are well finished. The ride is troubling. With the sport suspension and low profile tires it is a giggly ride on every surface
Strengths: style,fit and finish,gas mileage,quietness, radio
Weaknesses: ride :(

Summary: 1. Good deal when brought.
2. Relative higher quality/reputation.
3. Compared to Honda Accord, lower noise but detailed quality is also lower.
4. Lower paint quality, easy to get a dent.
5. The only problem is a broken wiper blade after 15000 miles and 19 months in use.
6. Overall, better than my previous Ford and Plymouth, but still a lot room to be improved.
Strengths: No strengths, only good at average. Why did I buy it? Because I got a good offer for a new camry when I needed a car.
Weaknesses: Low-quality and cheap materials used in and out. MPG is not as good as what you see on TV. Salesmen at Power-Toyota-Irvine were the worst I ever met. Services at Toyota website is not good (no replies to my emails many times). I am thinking that everyone at Toyota is so busy to build cars since it sells so many. They do not have time to say sorry.
Similar Products Used: Ford (its engine died before this camry), Plymouth (too many small problems).

Summary: I bought this car, because I thought Toyotas were suppose to be good quality. That was a mistake! The transmission locked up after 600 miles.The ignition switch mis fired and caused it not to start on many occasions.It seemed to loose power on long trips. I would neaver buy another Toyota again!! I will stick with the American car companys next time.
Weaknesses: transmission

from Dorschel Toyota (Roc
Year / Model Reviewed: 2005 LE
Summary: This is a 2005 Toyota Camry LE w/ the Optional Side airbags and moon roof. This car is a pretty good car, although there have been a few things that I've noticed. The ride seems rougher than when we bought it. When you try to accelerate, the car rolls, then picks up and pushes you back, which I really hate. The seats are pretty comfortable. The car scratches very easially, so be careful in parking lots. Also, the seatbelts in the back make a really weird noise when retracting and things, which may be normal.
Overall, this is a nice car. The new camry seems a bit more fit and finish.
Strengths: Gas Mileage (around 28 comb.), Audio controls/speakers, Daytime Running Lights, Style, Trunk is HUGE.
Weaknesses: Engine, Ride
Similar Products Used: Test drove Honda Accord and Subaru Outback

Summary: Always been a big fan of Toyota, until this camry. It's my third. I never had this much trouble with a new car before. Within the first week, the tires were defective and ordered from Toyota, a vibration/shimmy in the steering (still not fixed), brake rotors were defective and changed by the dealer, and it's been less than a month. After delivery, the dealer told me one of the master keys was lost and will have to go back for a fifth visit to get a new one cut. Insane for any new car, not only for toyota. I think the old toyota reputation is on the decline after they moved their operation to KY.
Strengths: Still a good car for the price, maybe I just bought a lemon.
Weaknesses: Brakes are still not very effective.
