2013 Toyota Camry consumer reviews

I owned my first Camry for 14 years. Traded it in for the 2013 Camry. My 2000 Camry traded in for $6000. That's what Camry's do- they last forever then give you a great return value. I love the Camry.

I had a 1999 Toyota Camry LE before I bought this 2013 Camry LE. I was very pleased with that one and that is why I got another Camry. I am enjoying the new car andl like that it shows miles/gallon. Also like that it shows the temperature. I do wish it showed direction, i.e. had a compass. One thing that did upset me is that it didn't come with floor mats which I had to go out and buy. Maybe more costly cars do. The one thing I don't like is that the headrests in the back seat are not adjustable or removeable. They are an integral part of the seat.. That has made it hard to attach the covers on the back seat that I use to protect the seat from the wet or dirty dog. Overall, an exdellent car.

This is my fourth Toyota Camry LE. I purchased it in January 2013. As with all of my other Camrys, this car is a joy to drive, is a gas sipper, handles beautifully, has a quiet cabin, and a terrific ride. The interior is roomy; and the new technology, which includes Bluetooth for my phone, is terrific. In addition, the sound system is quite good. I am a classical music buff and am picky about my speakers. The car has conservative lines, but is classically beautiful. I also know it is well made and reliable. It will serve me well for a long time. I am one happy owner!!!

I am older and have moved from a conservative Buick Park Avenue to a sporty Toyota Camry. In comparison, I love the look, handling and comfort of the Camry. The Camry "ride" is not what I was used to, but I love the "respect" I get on the road.

someone hit one, a hurricane dropped a tree on one and I totaled one. They were all extremely reliable and comfortable. No repairs, just maintenance. Each one had new special features. Roomy inside, lumbar seat feels great, soft ride with great pick up, it is a beautiful car.

Water drops leak from under the dash. Alignment is out and the manufacturer blames it on crowning. Constant correction of the steering is needed and this is dangerous. Mileage is low around 27. Oxidation of paint and easy chipping of paint. Never imagined a car to have a boat load of problems like this. Watch out.

I have owned three Toyotas over last 11 years, (CamryXLE 2002, Tacoma 2002, Corolla 2007). The Camry 2002 has 215,000 miles and still doing great but wife wanted a new one. The 2002 has plush lather seats coupled with16 inch tires to provide an extremely comfortable ride. We purchased a new 2013 Camry thinking it would be as comfortable. Went on a 600 mile round trip in it first thing and wife is constantly complaining about the rough ride. The leather seats in the 2013 Camry XLE are very firm and the tires are 17 inches with lower aspect which means they ride rougher than the 16 inch. We are now trying to get padded seat cushions made by local auto upholstery company and trying to get answer from Toyota as to whether I can purchase 16 inch wheels to replace the 17 inch and hoping this combination will give a better ride. Toyota builds a great vehicle that lasts long time, but with the new Camry XLE the engineers have apparently determined to appeal to the much younger generation by going with sportier comfort as far as seats and tires rather than appealing to the retirement generation. After it was too late to take the Camry back we test drove a Buick Lacrosse. Now Buick still makes that car to appeal to the comfort level expected by the retirement generation.

We have owned many Toyotas. They are very dependable and well made. Our Camry gives us the sporty look we like plus the luxury we enjoy. We do a lot of traveling and our Camry gives us the comfort we require. To buy a car, I need to love the exterior and the interior. The great gas mileage was an added bonus. We had a Camry for almost 5 years and we just traded it in for another Camry. We looked at many other cars and felt the Camry was still the best choice for us !

Currently, I have nothing but positive comments about the vehicle. It is larger than my old Corolla. So far, it is very reliable and a pleasure to drive. No problems and it does take some time getting use to all the "buttons and technology." I would like to obtain a repair manual to do some of my own basic maintenance. Any ideas?

I recently purchased a brand new 2013 Camry SE after my 2009 Subaru Legacy was totaled in an accident as it was parked in front of my house. My first and foremost concern was finding a good family car for my newborn and finding a car that had a decent amount of features for the money. I test drove 3 cars besides the Camry - the Accord, Sonata, and Altima. While I liked the way the Accord drove, I found the interior bland, the seats somewhat uncomfortable, and road noise was an issue. The Sonata gave the most features for the money, but the blind spots were unforgiving and the ride felt cheap. The Altima, like the Accord, drove nice, but the seats felt too low/dash too high (I'm 5'10") and the CVT transmission felt "mushy" and shifted slow. So I went with the "boring" Camry. I say that in quotes because most car "enthusiast" magazines call it such. The whole point of the Camry is having a safe, reliable, and comfortable means of transportation and shouldn't have to apologize for it. The SE model rides a touch "harder" but never kidney busting like the Sonata or my old Legacy. The road noise is minimal, even here on NY's terrible roads. The 4cylinder accelerates adequately and only a smidgen slower than my old 2001 Solara V6 XLE that did me very well throughout the years. Interior seats are comfortable and my baby seat fits in the back without having to move the front seats forward. The interior is comfortable, the AC is ice cold, and the stereo is pretty darn good. My only gripe is that you can only get satellite radio if you get navigation but there is a way around it. Since the base stereo has Bluetooth, you can download the satellite app on your phone and link it through there. People need to test drive this car without listening to the naysayers or worrying about having a "cool" car. Being smart and sensible is cooler than showing off and having a car that just won't last as long, have features that require extra/questionable maintenance, and will meet your needs as they change throughout the years.
