Great car!
It is an old car, but one of my favorites! It wasn't too big, but definitely not too small. The gas mileage was great and it drove so smoothly. The only issue would have to be the fact that it was old and wasn't kept up well. If you can take care of an older car, this is definitely the car to get! I wish I could have this one back!

First Car
I've owned my 96 Camry LE V6 for a year and a half now, it is my first car and I am very satisfied with the car! Engine, transmission and interior make it for a very quiet and comfortable ride. Suspension if very soft and it soaks up a lot of the bumps in the road if you like that. I have driven this car in the winter and it always started in the -40 temperature in Montreal. Very good winter car, heat and defrost functions work very well and hear will not make your throat dry like some cars. This car is exceptionally fast for a 19 year old car, the engine still has plenty of potential. What I don't like about the car: Very soft suspension, I would like a much harder ride but that's just me. Brakes also are not as powerful as I would like but then again, they work just fine for normal driving. Overall I am very impressed with this car and would not sell it. I am keeping this car until it can no longer run. I have driven other cars and they always make me miss my Camry! It will be a very sad day when (if) it doesn't run anymore but I can't see that happening any time soon!!

excellent car
I purchased this car in 2008 with 93,000 mile on it for $1500. It was in good shape, but had some electrical issues that needed to be sorted out. The wiring harness that goes through the front drivers door had some broken wires and I believe the seller just didn't know how to deal with it. I've put about $2000 into the car including the following: wheels, tires, brakes, timing belt, water pump, radiator, cat-back exhaust and miscellaneous items. Most of the work was done myself. The car now has 128,000 miles on it and is extremely reliable. I still have a few things that need attention like a leaking fuel injector and a bad contact in the fuse box that I need to take care of. It could also use new struts and springs, but the parts for these cars are extremely cheap. It's pretty easy to work on, although replacing the timing belt is not fun with the tight clearance to the engine compartment. I drive 52 miles each day round-trip to work with about 1/2 highway and average about 27-28 mpg. The best mileage the car achieved was 34mpg on a long-distance trip with one passenger and about 300 pounds of cargo. The car is cheap to insure and register. It is relatively quiet and is very comfortable to drive. It has a reasonable amount of power for a 4 cylinder. I do find that I prefer to leave the automatic transmission in "power" mode as it moves the shift point to a higher rpm. It shifts closer to what I would do with a manual transmission. I don't do jackrabbit starts by any means so this is the best acceleration/economy setting. The Camry might not be the most glamorous car, but it's cheap, comfortable, and most importantly, reliable transportation around.

LOOOOVE THIS CAR!!!
I just sold my 1993 used Camry identical to this one. I love everything about. It is great on gas and I got me everywhere I needed to go. When I got it had 93,000 miles on it. I sold it 130,000miles. I just wanted to get a more recent year. I recommend this car to a friend.

Power, Smooth, Class
I bought it brand new. All I had to spend money on was tires, brakes, air filter, and other low cost necessities. Right now at about 150,000 miles, it was time to sell. No pricey repair was done. The transmission and engine is still strong. Oil is change every 5,000 miles because of full synthetic. Every 30,000 miles the radiator is flush with O.E. red antifreeze, replacing upper and lower hoses and not to mention the replacing the thermostat. The transmission service is done with Toyota Type 4 fluid, new pan gasket and new filter.
