The main thing about the Toyota Camry (this is hardly a secret) is its utter dependability. I bought the car third hand, when it already had 100,000 miles on it, but barring one or two repairs it gave perfect service. In addition to having a smooth ride, the confidence that the car gives makes driving a joy.

Recently my wife and I purchased a used 2002 Toyota Camry. We needed an extra vehicle to alleviate some of the wear and tear on our other car, and the Camry has definitely fulfilled its obligation. We frequently take weekend trips that are an hour or more away. In addition to this, we have made trips over six hours away. Not once during these trips have we had a single issue with the vehicle. The car drives great and almost seems like it's driving itself at times. The ride is smooth and easy. Outside of regular oil changes and minor interior fixes here and there, we've never had a major problem with the vehicle. The exterior of the car is a beautiful champagne color that does a great job of hiding scratches. Having said all of this, there are issues with the car. The interior lights have constantly been a source of problems. No matter how many times we change them, they never seem to properly work. Most of the time we have to hit the dash in order to get the A/C lights to come on. The factory stereo for the vehicle has a very poor sound quality. No matter how many times you adjust. As I said, all issues we've had with the vehicle are very minor. All in all, we are very happy with the vehicle and couldn't ask for a better car for the price we paid for it.
