Toyota Camry XV40 (2007-2011)

Legendary Reliable, they didn't lie about this – Best car I've ever had since was a student. I bought it as a pre-owned with 67,000 on clock. Now it's 170,000 but super smooth. Credits on you TOYOTA good job!

Economical Running – 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. Show details

Don't worry about the synergy engine – I bought a Toyota Camry hybrid in 2010 as one of the earliest and perhaps most brave customers in Perth. Due to lousy quality issues with Toyota products, which resulted in a bad wiser being put into this car (the wiser's light wasn't going off and it would stay of for ever draining the battery, also the wiser's connection was broken too). The… Read more

last thing you like to see is to come to start your few months old car's engine to go to work and see nothing works. Anyway it took a number of visits to Toyota shop, meeting people who really wanted to help but couldn't identify the issue, until finally by chance the problem was found by the branch manager. Unfortunately nobody pays for your time when it is wasted on fixing things that are under warranty!

Anyways the problem solved and I got to drive this car with no problem so far in 2017.

My main concern was the huge synergy battery in the boot, which seems to be working fine so far. It has 10 years warranty.

Camry offers a huge space and some of the latest gadgets, but it is kind of toy car, good for family trips and gentle driving.

I believe Camry's gear box, suspension system and its handling aren't well design. But thanks to Toyota many people can drive their family around with minimum cost.

Toyota will remain favourite to many people.

Toyota reliability at its best! – the car is lovely to drive. Its refined and quiet and road noise is very minimal. The performance is adequate from the engine but you dont buy a car like this for power. Handling is predictable and safe for a fwd so nothing special there. Get the aurion if you like power and speed. The interior is modern and comfortable (im 175cm) and the… Read more

quality is better than most other makes. Everyhing holds up really well. HOWEVER my dash does have a rattle and lots of owners have the sticky dash issue which toyota will replace if your affected vehicle is less than 10 years old. Other than that the interior is great no issues nothing faulty inside.

Now mechanically, this car is a true testament to toyota reliablilty. I really do believe the running gear is the best, the engines are strong and the gearboxes are unbreakable. I have clocked up 190,000 without a single failure of any component!! Only thing ever needed changing was the battery and tires. Im still on the same brakes and rotors.. I service the vehicle every 6 months regardless of km.

TOYOTA ALTISE 2010 – I bought this car brand new. Worst thing I ever did. When I picked it up, by the time I got home I noticed a rattle coming from the car. It was hard to work out what it actually was and where it was coming from. I took it back to the dealer. He yelled at me asking why I had tried to take the door off lol Well I told him I didnt, he didnt… Read more

believe me and was so rude. Apparently the door was loose, this should of been a warning something was wrong with this car. After picking it up I was driving home from work down the Toowoomba range (very steep hill) and I noticed the car was vibrating badly. I took it back to the dealer and he said there was nothing wrong with it. I took it to Goodyear to get it checked out and they said I needed new discs errr what its a brand new car!! I again took it back to the dealer and told them what Good year said and they laughed and brushed it off said there was nothing wrong with the car. I ignored the vibration cos by this stage I was just sick to death of them brushing me off. I got a flat down at the end of the range grrrhhhh. The cars tyre and rim was stuck I couldnt get it off and had to call Road side assist. The bolts had rusted completely on the wheel, the poor guy had to almost break the bolts to get them off, which proved that the dealership had never rotated the tyres when it was serviced. So I decided to take the car else where to get it serviced. I told the the guys about the vibration of the vehicles front end that Toyota ignores. So he gave me a wheel alignment and a wheel balance. Didnt do anything, vibration was still there. IN the end coming down the Toowoomba range again the car lost control of its steering. Was so dangerous I pulled over without hitting someone, which was amazing. The car was then towed to Toowoomba dealership and the rare toe adjuster had completely snapped and told me I was lucky to be alive. They refused to fix it under warranty stating that I must of hit a curb lol (I hadnt, I dont have curbs where I park nor in my 200 mtr driveway). I no longer felt safe driving this car. I took it to Pedders in Ipswich to have a very good look at it. When I picked it up they told me that the front left hand side strut was almost at a right angle and that I must of had a major accident in the car. Hmm nope. He said that I couldn't of bought the car new and it must of been a demo, again I said no. I took it back to Toyota, again they refused to fix it and said that it was within their guidelines. I had to pay to get it fixed myself. If that wasnt bad enough. Coming down the range again the car simply died. I rang up Road side assist again and he told me the cars motor was stuffed and again the car was towed back to Toyota. Again the refused to fix it. I threw the keys at them and walked away. I paid $38000 for this hunk of crap, due to the issues with the car they only got $12000 for it. I went out and bought a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer 1 yr older and have it till this day. Never skipped a beat and paid half the price for it and it was a hired car haha. I have always owned a Toyota. Never ever again In the market now for a newer car. Its hard to say no to a lancer but the car hasn't changed much over the years and want something different. Shame or I would of bought another one. Verdict, this car is a hunk of crap. Toyota do not honor their warranties. Car was less than 12 mths old and had only done 88000km haha according to the malfunctioning taco, which they claim there was nothing wrong with. Had my Lancer now for 7yrs and has done just over 150,000, what does that tell you? If you are looking for a used vehicle go with a Lancer and keep away from these cars, my friends has done over 300000km and still doesnt have to put oil in it unlike my Old Corolla which had done 100 000km after 5yrs. Never ever buy a car from Ross llewellyn Toyota in ipswich Qld

Toyota Reliability – Have been using Toyota Camry Touring for a year and as known for Toyota it has great reliability with only basic maintenance of oil/filters change. fuel economy is average depending on how you drive and power is more than enough for the Australian roads. Only disadvantage is when driving on slippery roads you feel the car as if it slips off with… Read more

the road a bit and requires a firm grip on the steering wheel (even after tyres rotation and wheel alignment), an issue which was not noticed with my previous Toyota Corolla 2005, and Toyota Aurion 2008. However, got used to it after a while and have not seen any other issue with the car since the date of purchase.

Large Reliable Sedan – Ample space and comfortable seats. Good acceleration. Mechanically very reliable, low maintenance costs and great longevity. Average fuel consumption for 2.4L model. Safety is average for its size. Highly recommended overall.

Great car – i have this car since 2014, it does the job with the best it can. never let you down. powerful. looks good. energy saver, easy to run easy to use easy to fix. i love this car and i think i would not change it until i have the money for the next gen of it.  Show details

Just OK – Had my Camry Altise 2010 for about 12-18 months now and it seems to drive ok however I find the gear change to lag and the brake assist to kick in way too hard down hills. The petrol is good as I fill up once a week sometimes even less depending on how far I drive. It's a good daily car except the seats are so friggin hard!!! They are so… Read more

uncomfortable I have had to go out and buy back support lumbars for it. I don't like the way you have to open the boot to put the back seats down and I dislike that I cannot lock my car while I'm inside of it. What happens if I get attacked at a stop light? I wouldn't buy another Camry again however Toyota are good cars in terms of reliability and mechanically built very sturdy.

Its okay but there are some pretty bad problems – The car is a 2007 Toyota Camry Altise and it looks okay and is nice to sit in, but driving is a problem with the back window being really small with no reverse camera or sensors, there are huge rear blind spots which make changing lanes risky. The car feels well powered but the automatic transission feels sluggish and hessitant. I would recommend… Read more

this car however but not the Altise I would recommend getting a model with reverse camera or parking sensors to make the car better but other than that it is pretty comfortable to sit in and a huge roomy boot.

Reliable car with low cost – I have a 2009 camry for five years. Previously used it for UBER driving and now just used for weekend with low meters. In a nutshell, this car has good quality with low cost on repair, although it consumes a lot compared to other new models. Show details

Great car,with limitations – I have a 2009 Camry Grande bought 2nd hand. Very comfortable as it has adjustable lumbar support,dual zone climate control,leather seats,sunroof,reversing camera etc. Mainly used on long distance trips,i only have 2 gripes with it. I'm over 6ft tall,& can only just sit in it without hitting my head on the roof.The legroom is great though. It's a… Read more

bit gutless on hills as to be expected with the 2.4 in a heavy car. I find the handling to be good,it's very stable & a placid car,so an ideal learning vehicle. If you need more power,get an Aurion. Overall,im quite happy with the car,you get a lot of goodies in the Grande spec at a good price.

Love it – I was looking for something big enough for travels and cheap enough for small runs. My ateva has been fantastic and so lovely to drive! I wish I had bought a Camry in the past! Love my car so much!! Cheap to run and fill and fuel lasts me a long time!! Beautuful car  Show details

Perfect Reliable Vehicle – after going from mazda6, i must say camry is reliable, fuel efficient and excellent vehicle to drive. U cant go wrong with toyota, i can drive this car without worrying about repairs.Legroom is enough, good music system, can be better, boot space is enough, seats are comfartable but can be better.  Show details

Great point A to B car and superb mileage – I bought 2010 hybrid camry as a used car. I must say i have been impressed by this car. It is a great family car very spacious, reliable and extremely low maintenance cost. Fuel economy is also good i still get around 6.5 litres/100kms mileage. The only negative point is that it's not a drivers car. Steering is vague and wobbly but i guess it's a… Read more

well known camry trait as it's not famous for being sporty. Other than that great family car with cheap running cost.

Toyata Camry Best economical family car in the world – I Bought Brand new Toyota Camry touring in 2011. I have done 120000k now. I found this is the best economical family car in the world. Original Michelin Tyres ran 105k KM without any trouble. The Original Battery lasted 6+ years. Changed only last year. Still original breaks pads running good and per 120k service records they are still road… Read more

worthy for next 15k service. So far I replaced 4 set of new Tyres after 105k ODI, Battery after 6 years , wiper blades rubber inserts after 5 years. All other standard Toyota service. What else you can expect from such a good family car. Go for Toyota Camry. I love this car

Good reliable car – It's a very good and nice car. Looks very fancy and luxurious. Especially in the black colour with the silver handles. The inside is very wide and comfortable. Steering is steady. Acceleration is really good. The breaks are also very good. Even though it's wide and big, but it's easy to drive around in.  Show details

Robust and reliable car! – I enjoy driving my Toyota Camry Altise for a while! It is performing reliably and can be handled easily. I really like the exterior design, however the interior design is boring nothing special. I service the car twice a year (nearly every 10K), the main repair is on consumable (mainly tires). It consumes around 10-11 per 100 K in the city and 8-9 on the road (Highway). It has really spacy boot, which becomes handy in Roadtrip.  Show details

Excellent car! Very reliable! – The performance of the car is great! Have never had any issues with it mechanically. The steering is very easy as it has power steering. The inside of the car is very comfortable. The speakers are of decent quality. However, the radio doesn't have an AUX port which is unfortunate. The dashboard can also get sticky in hot weather. It runs low on fuel, making it a very economic car.  Show details

Good – Bought this one for the company last year for bisiness use. Doesn't cost much and save petrol as well. Bought the black colour Camry and the team loves it. Lots of friends bought this model for home use as well. In general, Toyota is a good and reliable brand for vehicle.  Show details

Excellent Car – I have owned Camry and other versions of Toyota. They are very reliable and almost zero maintenance vehicles. The servicing of the vehicle costs around $200 at Toyota Service Center and is required only once in 9 months. The only disappointing factor is the overall interiors. They look quite old. But overall good, safe vehicle with minimum maintenance charges  Show details

very good car – I have owned quite a few camrys. They are very reliable, comfortable and quite cheap to run. the styling is a bit old ladyish for me but toyota have a good reputation for being reliable. can drive with 4 adults in comfortably. The factory tyres are not great, i changed to michelin much better NVH.  Show details

Perfect car for our family – Very happy with the car, looks great, drives well, the engine is very quiet and responsive. There is plenty of space both in front and back, the booth is enormous. The only drawback for us is the fuel consumption. We knew it would be 8.8 Ltrs, however, we mostly drive in town and it is around 10.5 Ltrs per 100 km. Despite this, I would recommend… Read more

Camry to anyone. I really hope we won't have any issues with it as that was the main reason to buy a Camry.

Reliable car, never lets you down – I've been driving this car for the last 5 years, and I can only talk positively about it. The average petrol consumption is 6.5l/100km very quiet and powerful. I've been taking the car to my local mechanic for maintenance and I haven't had any problems so far. Equipped with leather seats, reverse camera and sensors make driving comfortable and fun.  Show details

Good family and company car – We recently bought one as our company car. Drives smooth with confidence. Handling well if you don't focus on performance. Steering wheel feels better than last generation but still too light for me. Noise so low and better than many other brands. Just dont like the foot Hand break Interior OK and full of everything a normal driver needs,… Read more

family duty or business. Seat looks plain . But with reverse camera, GPS and large screen it is OK. We paid 27000 and cannot complain.

I will not worry about reliability usually for a Toyota.

Cigarette and aux socket, bluetooth connection with phone is......pain – 1. I tried to connect my phone to camry 2011 bluetooth is not easy so watch it in the youtube.... give up... 2. Aux and cigarette socket to charge my phone is terrible. It is deep inside and very hard to reach even though I have small hands. Every time I connect to aux or charge my phone in pain. Otherwise the car itself is fine.  Show details

Hybrid Battery replacement - no drama – I got 443000 km out of the original HV battery on my Camry Yes, Toyota is expensive but Prius Battery Exchange in Sydney did it for about half the cost . They keep the old one. Could not be happier and can see why most Taxis in Australia changing over to Hybrids now.  Show details

Toyota Camry Hybrid Luxury 2010 – Toyota Camry Hybrid Luxury 2010 Another great machine from Toyota, very quiet inside, fun drive, this car has very comfy seats and plenty of pace for the whole family, only negative thing is less boot space due to batteries in the back of the car the. Never had any problem with this car. Very fuel efficient. I have done over 60,000 km it still hasn't required breaks replacement. Highly recommended.  Show details

ACV 40 Toyota Camry – The only problem I'm getting with my 2008 camry is the dashboard, it's too soft it is deteriorating and I am using alot of fuel don't matter how much servicing I do. The steering rack keeps noise sometimes and the stereo isn't the best but it carries some nice sounding speakers my kids and I love it.  Show details

This car is perfect. Low running costs, good performer roomy interior! – Have just clocked 160,000km and this car is still going very strong. 2010 model. Quality is on par with any Toyota. High K's and all components still work perfectly. Nothing has ever gone wrong with this car!! Definitely recommend. Fuel economy of a small 4cyl car with the space and power of a larger 6cyl car!  Show details

Soul destroying driving – I had a Camry provided by work and I'm so glad I don't drive it anymore. The car is oversized and underpowered - hard to park, very uncomfortable seats even for long journeys (imagine doing 800km trips!) and the most under featured modern car I've ever been in. Mine didn't even have an input for MP3 player just a really bad CD radio which looked… Read more

like it was from 1995 and sounded cheap and tinny.

The fuel consumption was fairly high and overtaking was risky on country roads. Like other posters mine had suspension problems where it would pull to one side when driving and it needed significant work done. If you like driving a fridge on wheels get this but if you like driving and value comfort and dynamics get something else.

5 Star car – A well put together, fuel efficient car. Cheap to service and very little if anything goes wrong. Interior materials and paint is above standard as you would expect from Toyota. Probably a bit thirstier than other four cylinder cars due to its size. Japanese definitely know how to engineer cars. 5 stars .  Show details

Toyota Camry Review – Steering pulling to the left, first 100 yards, U turn back to dealer. I had several wheel alignment, both dealers and specialist, then fitted "Redranger" caster of set bushes with camber adj bolt kits. To finally fix the steering.
