Best car I have ever gotten to drive.

This car was purchased for me from a family friend as my first car. It had 300K miles on it and after some tune ups it is running like it’s brand new. The car is very comfortable, has great visibility out of the windshield and rear window, good sized mirrors and a nice interior. It has worked great getting me to and from school, work, and driving me and my friends around. It also does great on gas!

Most reliable

Certifying at all level, no disappointment and I was driving this for 16 years i.e from 2006 to 2021 and still sound with no major repairs ever done... Until last week 30/04/2021 I had an accident where I collided with a running cow just suddenly came out from bush while I was on a speed of 120km/hr. Currently the car is in a garage waiting for repairs.

Best car ever bought

I owned a 1998 toyota camry v6, it's an excellent car it has a little bit over 200000 miles on it, and still drive perfect, smooth, no noise inside, no shaking when driving or breaking, a solid vehicle 😀I'm very happy that I bought this car 6 years ago for only 1500 it has saved me a lot of money, I regularly do oil change on time. Only big things I have had done on it, is rack and pinion, power steering pump, and pressure line steering. It's about $600 in 6 years this car is amazing 👏😍

Most reliable car I've owned.

This car does not disappoint. Řeliable, great in gas. I have 6 cylinder and had great pick up. Air conditioner works great as well à everything else. Only issue is clock in dash not working and not just a fuse, but I love the car. Would buy one again.

Most reliable car I've owned!

I've had around 5-6 used cars ranging from the years 93-2005 but the 98 Camry has been the best and most reliable so far. Fairly easy and cheap to repair and the gas milage is great. All my other foreign cars were nightmares compared to this. Yes you give up the luxury of having a stylish car but you get reliability and peace of mind. Of course you can always go out and buy a new car if you want but if you need a cheap reliable car the Camry is a good choice.

Camry Die Hard vehicle

My wife and I have both been driving 98 Camrys for many years. They are very reliable and don't breakdown generally by themselves. Combined they are 44 years old and have just recently been relegated to backup as I bought 2 newer used Camry and Avalon vehicles. see you in 10+ years on these 2

The best and most demanded car in the Middle East

I feel nostalgic about this car since I returned to my hometown. It was really a wonderful car. The exterior golden with a spoiler was the highlight of the car. Moreover, its engine(2.2L I4 133hp DOHC gasoline engine) was the most reliable engine at that time. My car was a premium Japanese made car(although some cars were manufactured in America). It had good and reliable parts. Every foreigner, even the Arabs would demand for that car(Since I was in Saudi Arabia till 2015)... Overall this car is the best in segment for economy purpose. Thats all what I can say about this car.
