1997 Toyota Camry consumer reviews

Purchased my Camry 13years ago from Canada. And 27 years down the line it's in perfect condition. I have done changes to the steering rack, alternator, etc. Great Car

I've had my 1997 Camry for 4 years now. I bought it used with 260K miles on it for $650 from an elderly couple. I'm just about to hit 300K miles and it still idles, revs, shifts, and rolls down the road pretty perfect (newish feeling). Amazing how well the overall car has held up for being almost 26 years old. I had to fix a few things when I first bought it. I did the struts, catalytic converter, a bad EGR VSV sensor, and the timing belt plus all the front seals. Mostly just normal maintenance items. The only broken item that isn't normal maintenance has been the dashboard clock. But I was able to fix it with some help from youtube. Amazing cars that are extremely durable and cheap to maintain. I actually like this old gen 4's size and driving feel better then the gen 5 and 6 that came after it.

This car has 287,000 and still runs great. Been the same owner sence new in 1997, even still cold a/c and never been touched, it's the 4 cylinder.

This is a great ,reliable automobile,comfortable and easy to drive. Room for 5 adults,ice cold air. 23 miles per gallon in the city, 26 on highway

My wife is the owner of a 23 yr. old Toyota Camry, boring vanilla white. It's been in the family for the entire life of the car. I have rebuilt every mechanical system and it's basically brand new. It does have a lot of "old ladyitis" all over it, but it tells a tale of a well lived life. I've restored it and she does not want another car. You could put six shots in the hood and it would take you at least as far as to get out of danger. They are tough to the max, used good materials from the start and you have to REALLY mistreat one to make it curb.

I was in need of cheap transportation in a hurry. Drove by (in a rental car) a decent looking '97 Toyota Camry. A bunch of leaves rendered the blower motor shot. Oh, and it had 230k miles on it. I couldn't believe how xxxx well it drove though and decided it was worth a shot. 6 months and 15k miles later, it was the best $1,000 I have ever spent. Well, except for the detainer on my divorce lawyer. Still, #2 ain't bad. The xxxx thing has almost 250k miles on it now and the engine and transmission are still flawless. I now understand what all the Toyota hype is about.

Plenty of room and A lot of comfort. Easy on the wallet to mainaint and drive. Good power for what it’s for. Bullet proof Toyota 2.2l motor.

This car made me feel confident.I love it.Is just time to get a newer one.I am in search of the same car.That's how much I love it.Never thought I will love my Camry.

This car was the best price for my budget. It was the best for my college son. The car had reasonable miles and drives wonderfully! This was the best move ever.

This car will take a bruising & keep going & going!! The exterior has deteriorated a bit (it's 20yrs old!!) but it keeps pushing, I commute a 30 min to work and this car has never let me down- after all the cars I've had(Explorer, Laredo, Passat, Oldsmobile, Buick) this car was by far the most reliable & easily maintained!!
