| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | It was lease takeover. $149mo. for 11 months with a $13.3 buyout/resell |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | One of the biggest reasons for buying the Camry is that Toyota offers a disability reinbursment where they will pay for adaptive equipment added to the car. Now my wife will be able to drive. The Altima did not offer this. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The 2007 Camry SE V6 is a great compromise between luxury, performance and affordability. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | This car was a Hertz rental car. It was a very good price with a good warranty. |

What Our Members Are Saying about Volkswagen Beetle Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Volkswagen Beetle: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Car is well assembled with quality materials and workmanship. The vinyl seats are actually of a quite high grade material and actually look and feel close to real leather. The convertible top is tight fitting, well finished on the inside, and quite. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Volkswagen Beetle: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Had to have some items repaired multiple times. |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Not one thing held up. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Toyota Camry Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Toyota Camry: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
The interior materials are much higher quality than the Camry. The Camry felt very cheap, not like a car that costs over $30k. The Fusion felt like a more expensive BMW or Audi with the interior quality. There were no large gaps or uneven edges between materials. The exterior build quality is also better in the Fusion. The doors close smoothly and without being too heavy or too light. The hood fits very tightly with the frame. The trunk closes easily but without slamming. And, best of all, the trunk includes a little handle for closing so that you don't have to grab the exterior of trunk but can just close it with that handle. Just like my Saab does!! |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
no loose ends, everything fits right and stays in place |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
This car has had zero problems. Superior to every other Camry year and make out there. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
All materials appear to be good quality and well put together |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I met an owner who had 350,000 miles, and the car still looked good. In 19,000 miles we have no problem, other than the squeaky brake pads, which were replaced. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fit and finish are consistent. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Toyota Camry: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap! plastic everywhere, front seats are brutal and the seat covering is cheap.Paint is thin. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Soundproofing was poor, there was a cheap feel about the bodywork, fittings were cheap looking even for a rental |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Paint is very easily chipped and scraped |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The cloth on the headliner on the rear window is coming loose. In contacting a body shop that I am familiar with, this is a common problem. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Terrible paint that chips and scratches very easily. Interior panels are not held together very well. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Cheap, econobox feel, hard seats |
