Most Reliable Car for me

I'm getting 42 mpg to and from work with my 2012 Camry. I only have to fill up every two weeks. My 1999 Camry got 32.

Camry Ranks #1 With Me

We bought our first Camry LE in 1998 and a Camry XLE in 2004. Both fantastic cars. The 1998 has 150K on it and is still going strong. It never wears out but we had the new car itch after 14 years. We test drove the Hyundai Sonata and a Honda Accord (both fully loaded) and then we test drove and purchased a new 2012 Camry XLE. We can't wait to bring it home tomorrow. We keep cars for a long time so we are confident that this car will last for another 10+ years. They are so well built, reliable and a treat to drive.

Camry = Excellent Value

I owned a 2002 Camry in college and never had a single problem before trading it in 2007 for a BMW. Trading that car was one of my biggest regrets with all the cars I've had. When I was in the market for a gas saving family sedan now that I have a kid, the Camry was the first choice since I commute 40 miles a day for work. I of course did my homework with so much competition now adays. I researched several vehicles with the exception of a Nissan Altima because I had a bad experience with one I previously owned. I test drove a VW Jetta TDI (loaded), a Honda Accord and Civic, and both the Camry Hybrid and Camry LE. I kept comparing the cars side by side and thinking back to the great experience I'd had in college with my Camry before deciding to purchase another one. I've purchased over 6 cars in my life and this one feels like the most logical and sensible one yet. I just couldn't beat the end of year deal, financing offer and maintenance offered. I've very excited about the next 10 years I hope to spend with this car!

So So

Unforgiving seats. Cheap Knob for AC. Horrible Horrible Horrible wind Leak. I took the car the dealer 3 time and got the weather strip replaced every time but still wind leak. finally the dealer admitted that Toyota still has problems with low quality suppliers. May be you are ready the Camry, but the Camry is not ready for you.

Love my new car

I have the SE model It has a sporty look and feel but still enough room of a luxury sedan. I like the layout of the dashboard and the bluetooth and radio screen.

Great Decision

I just leased a 2012 Camry SE and I Love this Car. Very comfortable and suprissing smooth power for a four cylender car. I am very happy with my decision and looking forward to counting on Toyotas reputation for reliability.

Excellent vehicle

We've owned Toyotas since 1984. This Camry XLE is our 8th or 9th Toyota and, I guess, we're brand loyal because of past and present experiences. Service has been excellent and performance, outstanding. Three years ago, we were in an unfortunate accident where we were t-boned on the passenger side. My wife escaped totally unharmed. That safety factor is the main reason I'll stay with Toyotas; reliability is the second.

First time Camry owner

We bought a 2012 Camry LE a few months ago. I have always driven a Ford or Chevrolet vehicle. I am very happy with this car. Gas mileage is great. We took a trip to San Antonio this past summer and got over 400 miles on a full tank of gas. Basiclly we filled up when we left and did not have to re fuel till we left San Antonio. We were there for 3 days plus, we live south of Fort Worth and it took us about 4 hours to get there.
