Toyota Camry

I wrote a review of a HiAce which would be quite the same for a Camry and going by those experiences I wouldnt hesitate to claim the following review is applicable to any Toyota in that it/they are very economical, efficient, reliable vehicles. The parts are readily available and cheap but dont let the word cheap fool you in terms of quality. They are quality parts. The thing is that they are so common so that everyone knows where to get parts and arnt hard to find like some other brands. But getting back to the whole vehicle the Camrys I have ...

See my previous review and accolade (Dave) This car has now exceeded 860,000 kilometres (yes, again you read that correctly) The downside is its negative cachet and snob value though personally I consider it a plus. Another positive is its anti-theft system, the very best. Simply leave the keys in the ignition with the window open and no self-respecting car thief would want to steal it let alone find it has a manual transmission which they couldn't even drive.

We purchased our Camry new in 2019. As of March 2022 it has travelled 45,000km. So far we have not had a single issue. It does what we expect without hassle. The fuel economy is excellent. Even on interstate trips it does around 5 litres per 100km at the speed limit with the A/C on. The hybrid system and the Atkinson cycle petrol engine combine well. We drive it in economy mode all the time which is fine for normal use. Fuel consumption around town is similar. Unlike normal cars, heavy traffic doesn't trash the fuel economy. We use E10 petrol b...

Bought my Camry Hybrid in 2012, new, built in Australia.
It is now 10 years old and it is an awesome car, especially while petrol prices are skyrocketing. I fill up every month to 6 weeks, saved the $4000 extra that hybrid costs before the car was even paid off.
It's been 10 years and it's only needed usual general maintenance, and yes, the battery is fine.
The CVT is excellent, can't imagine going back to a traditional transmission, and the torque at the get go takes out any petrol road car. If you can beat me from a flat start then it was driver error, not the car. Going up hills at 110, may as well be flat road, it doesn't even acknowledge hills.
Awesome everyday use car.

Nearly $80 to fill this car up and gives at most 550kms and that's driving it like a turtle. Digital display constantly reads 11.3 liters per 100kms. To top it off, the engine is gutless.

Beautiful car to drive but the suspension is too low to the ground and the interior roof height is also very low.
The car is very comfy, but I just don't rate it

I have had my 2021 SL Camry Hybrid for 12 months now and am loving it. This is my third new Camry and by far the best.

The most marked improvement over my previous 2015 Camry Hybrid is in the driving characteristics. The ride is super limo soft yet body roll is much more controlled and it glides over bumps. The tyres grip the road and the rear doesn’t skip over mid corner bumps like the previous one did.

This model Camry is much lower than previous Camrys and the cabin is not quite as spacious. There is a transmission tunnel as overseas has ...

l bought a new toyota camry in 2003, l still have it and its done 320,000 and still drives very well, l have never had any serious problems with it and its never broken down once on the road, but l get it serviced regularly with a good mechanic, who knows it might last anther ten years and go to 500,000 km. l recommend if you want a reliable car, but l can only speak for the 2003 model l hope the other years are as good

I had to wait until the 2020 model was released to get Apple CarPlay support, which largely papers over the otherwise anaemic built in nav / computer. The 2019 model was missing this feature, which made it a hard-pass. Tesla has figured out that customers don't like to make a >$30K purchase and have its software go out-of-date within a couple of years and never get updates. At least with CarPlay, the software will update when my phone updates.

The hybrid model had a non-optional electric sunroof, which made the interior so low that my head tou...

Purchased used Toyota Camry Atara SX with 125,000km. Purchased with some reluctance as I had heard and read about the 2012-2014 models having some issues with the torque converter causing shuttering at speeds around 70-75kms.

Pros;
The 2.5 4 Cylinder engine is great, fun

Cons;
I have encountered the shuttering issue, at around speed 70km the car is a little shuddery and shaky and doesn’t feel smooth.
No recall for this issue in Australia, change transmission fluid very regularly and try to prolong transmission and converter

Very happy with my car, cheaper than other similar models and cheap running, costs very little to maintain. Fuel consumption is better than other similar models. I have been driving Toyota for past 20 years and Camery comes on top.

Being retired I use the car for local and city driving, as well as long distance for holidays.
I use the car , on average 5 times per week.
I get the car serviced on a regular basis as per the log book.

Drive week days to work 162km, mostly freeway only 5 traffic lights to negotiate each way. Uses 7.2L/100km on freeways, about 9L/100km city driving. Service personnel report vehicle is in good condition. Very good suspension really solid even when gone into big potholes, tyre service personnel reports not having to do alignment. Interior is doing well after 10 years. Seats have not sagged after 144,000 km of driving.

I have owned many cars when i was in middle east my first car was lancer which was good on fuel but less spacious and weak body, then I bought nissan altima which was a pleasure to drive but still not the best in terms of room and space, I even bought Mitsubishi Challenger. I use to have concerns with Camry over its price and shape. But when I drove Camry for the first time, it was like magic
The leg space the boot, the driving pleasure ofeven a 2005 model was awsome, further the body is tough and it doesnt require that maintenance, drives smooth and am in love with my Camry 2005

Bought this Camry hybrid from a local dealer. It was a demo with only 12k klm on the clock. Picked the Sport version over the base model as it has a few more little extras that I wanted. This is basically a get around town and occasional tourer for my wife and I. We are both retired. The car has heaps of room in the cabin and the boot is enormous. Didn't particularly want a hybrid but at the time it was the only choice. Having now had the car for a couple of months I've become a convert.
Over all this has been a great choice. My wife and I dro...

This my daily ride since 2009, I got it second hand at a car yard. It had a lot of genuine extras, mag wheels, tow bar, window shields. It hasn't been an expensive car to run, the 2.2 Lt motor has been reliable and lean. Over the years I've replaced the timing belt twice, head gaskets, front and back suspension, oil pump, water pump, radiator and a few other small things. I like it's level of comfort, speed, reliability and handling. It's 138 Hp is more than enough for highway use, it tows 500 Kg without problems. It's name is 'Zippy' because of it's quick response from stop. I've got a feeling we are going to be a team until I'm forced to buy an electric car, he'll last another 20 years.
