Time and Mileage Tested. 2012 Toyota Camry

After eight years of service, this model year Toyota Camry is now time-tested for engine, transmission, safety and recall issues. Now I needed to find a low mileage match that would be, maybe my final vehicle purchase during my driving years. After all of my research over car brands, recalls, complaints, breakdowns, etc., it was the car to have for the balance of my driving years.

Great acceleration and reliability

The Toyota Camry has very fast acceleration which is great for getting on the freeway and changing lanes. It has a smooth ride, and gets good gas mileage. It has great handling ability, comfortable back support and seats. Has a nice stereo system with bluetooth support.

Most reliable car I’ve owned.

This was a great car for commuting. Very reliable and good gas mileage. It has a smooth ride and it handles well. It is very comfortable, I like the stereo, blue tooth, and keyless entry.

Most efficient and reliable car I ever owned!

This vehicle met all my needs. Plenty of room leg and head room. Sporty interior and great exterior style. This Camry Se has back up camera, keyless entry, touchscreen display, moonroof, paddle shifters, and plenty of accessories plus safety features. 21/30 Mpg .I love My car...!

nice car for commute to work in LA

I purchased this car for work commute and overall it has been a reliable one. I purchased it new... and purchased premium coverage on it. I had driver seat issues, transmission problems (they changed it after 50k miles), and some other issues, but Toyota of Glendale especially Carlos (the service manager) took care of it- due to the warranty and extended coverage that I had purchased...

Great Car

This vehicle is great. Minimal flaws outside and inside wear. We purchased the car and the windshield has 2 small chips in it, which we were guaranteed would be fixed by Walser's people, so we will see.. but so far a very good purchase.

A better vehicle than expected

The car is comfortable. I can adjust the seat to comfort level. Motor is responsive but good on gas, handles well. Everything is easy to get to either on the steering wheel or dashboard and the back seat has quite a bit of room and trunk nice size. Good sounding stereo with Bluetooth, USB port and many more things

Very poor car buying experience

I purchased this at Scott Toyota in ID Boise and it looks like they did a poor inspection before they sold it to my daughter. Had to replace a battery just after I purchased the car.
