As for personal experience, I've never owned a Camry but my Mom bought one in the '90s ... drove it for over five years and didn't have any trouble with it (until she backed it into a tree and wrecked it). According to the ratings at Consumer Reports, the Camry fell from grace slightly in 2010 but is still considered as among the most reliable cars. Ford was presented as being a domestic leader in reliable cars, and the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan beat the Camry in reliability ratings for 2010.So it seems the Camry is still a leader, but it you don't really love your Camry it could be a good time to explore other options.
If you're at all tempted to consider a hybrid car, it would be a good time to do so..five of Consumer Reports' top eight most reliable family cars were hybrids. I've posted a link to an excellent review at iguida.Com that might interest you. It deals with the question that's probably on most people's minds ... is the Camry a wise investment, given the impact of recent recalls?
A few highlights on this issue from the review: "Toyota badly mishandled the response to reports of unintended acceleration in its cars. But we believe the automaker is taking the appropriate steps to protect its reputation for reliability and that the 2011 Camry belongs on any midsize-sedan shopping list ... The 2011 Camry should carry juicy discounts as Toyota tries to make up for sales lost during the recall and as dealers clear inventories for the all-new 2012 model. " (Link to full review is in my sources list).
All in all, seems like the Camry is still considered a reliable car and it would not be a bad idea to purchase another if you really like your current car.
Well, it certainly used to be! In fact, reliability was one of the factors that made the Toyota Camry the best-selling car in the United States for many years. Even though Toyota made less expensive models, like the Corolla, the Matrix and more recently the Yaris, reliability certainly played a role in keeping the more expensive Camry at the top of the list.In some years, like 1995, the 95 Camry V6 /A541E seemed to have transmission problems, but the V4 did not.
The problem was not significant enough to be a major issues with condumers. On one website, they actually rank 20 years of Camrys and consumer complaints.It appears 2002 was the worst year for the Camry, particularly with the transmission, and the lowest complaint year was 2006. Your 1994 Camry ranks number 7.
Not bad out of 20 years! That's probably why it's been so reliable. If you ever trade it in, avoid the 2002 and 2003 Camrys.
The 2006 looks like your best bet. And, the 2010 ranks nice and high, but maybe they do not have enough data yet. In the recent toyota recall|Toyota recalls, vehicles with in the sticking accelerator pedal in the Toyota recall January 2010 did include certain 2007-2010 Camrys and certain 2009 Camry Hybrids.
I did not know about Toyota's Toyota gas pedal recall|floor mat recall! Did you? The 2007-2010 Camrys were involved with that one, it seems.
I hope this helps, if you're shopping for a newer Camry!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
