Worse car and worst customer service

by camrycar
Feb 28 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: None
Cons: Would never buy Toyota, not even if you give it to me free.
The Bottom Line: Wouldn't recommand to anyone because of the worse customer service. I can understand that once in a while you get bad product but no excuse for bad customer service.

Donated my Cressida 1989 because i did not want to replace the engine. Bought brand new Camry. Two weeks later it started to make noises from engine as well as from window weatherstripping. Took it to dealer for 5000 miles service and asked them to look ...

2005 Camry SE 2.4 liter 4 Cylinder

by sabinls
Nov 27 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Roomy, Comfy and Resale Value.
Cons: Transmission shifting!!! and a Target for Thieves.
The Bottom Line: Recommend because it works well all around.

I bought this car 4 months ago. The only major issue I have with it is the transmission. Slowing down to less than 5 mph and then accelerating (without coming to a complete stop) causes the transmission to kick into gear slightly lurching the car ...

by azninvasion
Jan 05 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Durable, cheap, nice size
Cons: acceleration, appearance
The Bottom Line: Great Japanese made car that is durable and worth the money

Known as one of the best car companies, Toyota does not disappoint with the 2005 Toyota Camry. Toyota has spent years building its name as one of the most reliable and durable car makers in the business, and the Camry encompasses both of them. Now if ...

2005 Camry XLE

by newbiesu
Mar 10 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Even with its quirks, the navigation system is wonderful.
Cons: Overstuffed seating. Rear post blocks visibility. Tricky trunk closure.
The Bottom Line: I rely on Camry dependability, comfortable ride, and love the navigation system even with its vagaries.

I love the navigation system even though it tends to direct me to house numbers existing only in the best of all possible worlds rather than in any town in California--that is, it'll tell me I'm at #2522, but I know the house, and it's further up the ...

Better than any car under 30,000, in terms of quality vs price

by sam041
Jul 26 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quality, spacious trunk, improved seating, very low engine noise
Cons: Increased road noise, not-so-smooth shifting with automatic, lack of standard side airbags
The Bottom Line: Definately a buy -- would recommend it

Who couldn't love a Toyota? They last really long without having many of the problems typical of their American or European counterparts. Since the early '90s, Toyota & Honda have made quality their number one priority and the latest Camry is no ...

The Camry just keeps getting better!

by twistymister
Oct 27 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quiet, powerful, 24 MPG city, 34 MPG highway, and it's TOYOTA.
Cons: Small side view mirrors.
The Bottom Line: This is our open road family car. It is the ideal commuter for me as well, for all the reasons I stated in my review.

Our family has four Camry's, a 1992, two 1994's, and a 1996. I put well over 200,000 miles on my 94 LE V6 before giving it to my youngest daughter. I would say it has at least another 100,000 trouble free miles of service in it. When we went looking ...

2005 Camry SE - Awesome

by jg24x4
Feb 16 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Acceleration, smooth, quiet, athletic suspension.
Cons: Speakers, heated seats.
The Bottom Line: Great engine & handling packages. Excellent quality & price. Best all around car I've ever owned.

Bought a 2005 SE V6 in November of 04 when they first came on the lot. I searched virtually every manufacturer and vehicle style before I finally found the Camry SE. The "SE V6" features are really what made me lean towards this car. It has the engine ...

Pros: Reliability, comfort, safety, fuel economy.
Cons: Telescopic steering wheel, vehicle stability control on LE as an option.

I purchased this vehicle to replace a 2003 Corolla that my children were outgrowing. I have 3 children, now ages 4,8,and 12. My wife and I are now quite pleased that they continue to fit well, and it appears the car will continue to accommodate them ...

2005 Camry SE 4 Cyl. Phantom Gray Pearl

by egoodson
Feb 08 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: fogs, power roof, 16" alloys, price, tossability, DRLs, leather steering wheel, 5 Spd Auto
Cons: ABS brake pedal fade, gas mileage, temp gauge in metric.
The Bottom Line: I intend to put quarter-million miles on this '05 SE. At 6'3"...I have ridden in the back seat and find it roomy and comfortable.

I purchased this car to replace my 1993 Camry LE with 250,000 miles. This SE compares favorably with our BMW regarding handling, road feel and acceleration. Body roll and lean is extremely well controlled. Wind noise has been addressed to the point that ...

2005 Camry Sets Yet Another Benchmark

by denverbrian
Jan 31 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Rock solid, competent, dependable, Toyotas don't break
Cons: Poor OEM tires
The Bottom Line: Looking for a 4-door sedan? Stop. It's useless to waste time comparing. Get a Toyota Camry and get on with your life.

My 2005 Toyota Camry XLE V6 replaces a wonderful 2002 Camry that went off lease. In so many ways, it's more of the same for this model year; there are only a few changes from the '02-'04 production years. And yet, Toyota continues to push the ...

I love my Camry!

by MrKaos12
Jul 11 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliability, resale value, quietness, smoothness, looks classy
Cons: Pricier than American counterparts
The Bottom Line: You really can't go wrong with a Camry. If you're looking for a car, I would highly recommend this one..

Let me preface this review by saying I am in my early 20s and am finishing up with school. My main criteria was reliability, and of course price. My peers tend to drive two door cars, or something along the lines of a Corolla or Civic. The Camry is ...

Camry xle v6: boring but solid car

by hampig12345
Mar 08 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quiet, smooth engine;luxurious interior;very reliable and practical
Cons: Underpowered; boring to drive and to look at; too many on the streets
The Bottom Line: Overall this is a great car for the money and is very practical but not too fun to drive :(

INTRO I recently was in the need of a new car after my old car, a 1998 Honda Accord LX, was totalled in an accident. I wanted something with the same reliability of the Accord which went 75000 miles with no problems. I also wanted something with more ...

The ultimate in luxury and utility, the 2005 Camry easily beats the competition

by howardbruin
Jan 16 '05 - Updated Mar 26 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Top build quality, nearly silent, long list of standard features, excellent resale value, impressive engine
Cons: Small tires, no standard side air-bags, many options not widely available, cruise-control stalk
The Bottom Line: Unless you're dead set on something with more "emotion", the Camry will serve you well for years, and miles, to come.

[Note: In response to suggestions, and more time with the car, I have updated the review accordingly] We recently purchased a new 2005 Toyota Camry LE Automatic (4 cyl.) to replace our aging Buick LeSabre. The following is my impression of the car. ...

Luxurious Bargain

by lotus5112
Dec 18 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliable, standard, safety, re-sale value, and low noise
Cons: Gas mileage for the V-6.
The Bottom Line: This car is definitely a quality car. The ride is smooth and quiet. It has the feel of a luxury car but at an affordable price.

As a 20-something year old, most of my peers are not interested in a car like the Camry. Most individuals are seeking a sportier or budget type car. What I like about this car is that it can appeal to all sorts of people. The ride is where the camry ...

by cathysylv
Jun 27 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Smooth and quiet ride, luxurious interior, value for dollar, interior roominess
Cons: Rear visibility impaired by rear pillar, otherwise an excellent car.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for reliability, high value for dollar, and luxury ride and appointments, look no further. You will be happy with the Camry.

I just bought the new XLE V6 after 13 years of driving Mercury Grand Marquis. Naturally, I was accustomed to the wonderful, soft, quiet ride of the Marquis and wondered how this Camry would stack up. When I went car shopping, my intention was to try a ...
