I've had my car for a while, and the only real issue is

I've had my car for a while, and the only real issue is that it consumes or leaks engine oil slowly. I change the oil every 3,000 miles, and with that routine, it's been fine. The car now has 140,000 miles and still runs great—thanks to God. I once switched to synthetic oil and drove 5,000 miles between changes, but all the oil was gone by then. Since sticking to 3,000-mile oil changes, I haven't even needed to check the oil level regularly. Aside from this minor issue, the car is reliable and has served me well.

Good car bad A/C

The only thing I did not like it is the quality of the A/C. To replace the evaporator, you have to remove the dash complety, and couple of years later the compressor, failed

My 2009 Toyota Camry caught fire & totally burned.

I bought a used 2009 Toyota Camry back in June of 2022. Everything seemed alright and it drove me from California to Arkansas where I moved. I have the vehicle lubed a number of times, wheels rotated, and engine checked, but when I drove it out to have dinner, a three mile drive, it literally burned up into a huge fire and is a total loss now. I've only had the car for 6 or seven months and thought I'd own this nice little car for yers to come. But, that is just not so. I wish I could provide you with a picture because this beauty just blew up like in the movies. I'm very disappointed in Toyota's now.

mehhh

My 2009 Camry has 220K miles, and while I understand that is a lot. The issues it has had have been expensive and ridiculous. Despite the issues it has had, It runs good and gets me everywhere I need to go, in a comfortable way.

Great car

Legroom, large trunk space, good gas mileage , a really smooth riding car to drive. Toyota’s have a good reputation for running a lot of miles so I’m hoping that adds to the value

Buyer Beware

The 2009 Camry had an oil consumption manufacturing problem which Toyota did not correct. I have been told by an owner that this problem also exists for 2010 models. I would have recommended this vehicle, if it had not been for this problem.

A very reliable car.

Few repairs and economic car to operate. A mid size car that rides well and comfortable transports 5 adults. Great gas mileage and a good long distance travel car.
