Price of the Toyota Camry: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20104dr 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
20094dr 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.
20074dr 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.
20024dr 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.

20074dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6

5-speed automatic FWD		Price too high and dealer would not deal.
20074dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid

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.

What Our Members Are Saying about Toyota Camry Materials and Workmanship

Available Features of the Toyota Camry: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
