Stay away from 2005-2015 2.4L camery's

I have a 2008 Toyota Camry with only 150,000 miles on it. Unfortunately this car from 2005 to 2015 has a high oil consumption engine as Toyota puts it. It is passed the 10 year or 100,000 mile extended warranty that Toyota put on these cars and will have to pay $5000 for a rebuilt engine. Unfortunately it didn't start until I hit 125,000 and 2020 so on both I am outside the warranty. The government should of made Toyota do a recall on the 2.4 litter engine.

Best most reliable car

This car is the most reliable car I had. after all these years still drives very well. I have the SE model and it is supper comfortable with the lower back support. I haven't had any mayor problems at all. I hardly recommend this car.

Toyota stands behind them.

This is an excellent car. The I4 engine is well geared with a five speed automatic which gets the car moving pretty well especially for a 4 cylinder. Highway mileage is really good, 30, 32 mpg. There are several things warranty wise. When I bought the car used at 75,000 miles, it had already had the transmission and transaxle replaced under warranty. It also had a "sticky" "distressed" "melted" not very good looking dash which Toyota willingly replaced for "customer relations". The new one is perfect and must be made out of different material. When the I4 engine began burning oil after 100k and it was determined that it was burning oil excessively (I gladly fed it one quart every 1,000 miles because it ran so well) Toyota rebuilt the engine under warranty with new pistons and rings. Here's the thing-- these are good cars, Toyota began building these cars here in the States, and there were some problems. Toyota graciously fixed all of these problems, I now have a wonderful reliable running and nice looking car at 190,000 miles plus, and expect many more trouble free miles (everything else on the car is fine, just routine oil/fluids, tires, brakes, etc.). comfortable to drive, roomy, I really really love this car. Its handling and acceleration aren't inspiring, rather bland, which is not a bad thing. I think the styling is rather clean and is aging well. After owning this and a couple of 4Runners, I got really sold on the Toyota brand. Their service departments/dealerships are extraordinarily well run too. I don't go to the dealership for everything, but, for warranty and some parts you need to go to a dealership for (the 4Runners needed a couple of fan switches, like that--after 20 years!) A pleasure to go especially compared with other car make dealerships. Toyota has a great customer satisfaction ethos. They stand behind their vehicles when problems do arise. Other than the problems I mentioned, the car has run and performed well and never yet broken down on me yet. And needs much less maintenance than other vehicles I have owned. The only minor annoyance is that the I4 engine idles a little roughly at stop signs and signal lights. It's characteristic of these years and engines. If it really bothers me I put it in neutral till the light changes. But it's really not bad as far as that goes.

As reliable as my most loyal friend

This car meets all my needs. The engine and transmission system are very good and powerful, the controllability of the car is very good. I bought navigation, AUX can play mobile music, the interior space is spacious and comfort.

Ok car for the time being but a lil dissatisfied

This car needs work but you can't expect to buy a used car in perfect condition but it does need some serious work and minor work. We will see how the purchase will play out in the end.
