When I set out to buy a car, the cost was my number one priority as I didn't have much to spend, and I wanted something I could count on for the money I had. The car I went with was a 2003 Toyota Camry. The four door really fit the bill. I was adamant against having a red car, so we went with silver. What I noticed and loved right away were the leather seats, but it wasn't long before I realized that leather seats are cold in winter and very hot during the summer. So if I were to buy again, I would not get leather seats. We also loved the great gas mileage. Compared to our previous car, this car gets roughly 22 miles per gallon over the 17 mpg of the car before. The Camry is a nice-looking car but doesn't stand out in a parking lot. It's very basic in design, but what it lacks in design it makes up for in function. We just hit 190,000 miles, and this car just keeps going. Its been through two wrecks where other drivers hit us, and the excellent build held up so that the repairs that had to be made were minor and cosmetic only. That's how sturdy this car is. I love my Camry and will buy another in the future.

The car is very reliable, as has been my experience with other Toyota vehicles I have owned in the past. I have had no major engine repairs needed to this car in nearly 150,000 miles and it is 12 years old. The car's body has not gone out of style and appears modern. It rides smoothly and comfortably even on long trips.
