I have been driving for 35 years and I have owned only 4 cars, all Toyotas. I have driven more than 1 million miles between these 4 cars, with my current one, a 2001 Camry, having 257,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. The overall endurance quality is hard to beat; the car just keeps on going and going and going. As far as performance goes, its not the best but it does do well for a 4-cylinder engine and today still manages to get about 28 MPG on the highway. My biggest peeve I have about the car, though, is the front-wheel drive gives a pull to the right, more strongly, I believe, than many other cars.

This I must say is one of the most reliable and loved vehicle by my wife, our two children, and myself. We have never paid so much monthly for a vehicle, but it is the newest car we have ever had, and it works well for everything. For instance, our mother was visiting and we thought we would take her to the beach. And, once there, we got a long board surfboard so my wife could teach them how to surf since she has some skills. We had no racks for the top. So, we rolled the back windows down and shoved it in. Of course, it was sticking out from both sides. No big deal I thought. But, while I was driving, I heard a bang and come to find out, I clipped a mailbox on our way to the beach. I was very concerned at first. But, after everyone and everything was OK, still together, and still standing...we all laughed. After our adventure, we made it there and had a blast. We talked about getting a truck or something with more space. The Toyota Camry is a great dependable car for our family. My wife has left the interior light on several times over night, but even after being on for hours, it started right up in the morning so nobody was late for their days. It would be more if we chose something bigger when this is finally paid off in July
