My Toyota is very reliable. I bought this car used from a dealer under the auspices that it was a Le. I realized after buying it that it was a base model Camry. The value dropped in my eyes but I didn't complain because it was still a nice car with a good reputation. The car had close to 120K miles but it has lived up to its reputation. There hasn't been a single rattle or knock, and I have driven the car over 25K miles since I've had it over a year ago, and I have only had to replace the tires. The car rides very smoothly. I also have 2 young children with big car seats, and there's still plenty of room to fit another friend in the middle. The legroom is great in the front and the back seats; I have long legs so leg room is very important to me. The trunk allows me to get plenty of groceries for my family of 4 and it seems to let me always pack in as much as I need. I also find the little area in the trunk to the side that allows me to put eggs and fragile items separately from the rest of the groceries very convenient. The trunk came with a full spare and the original jack, which has come in very handy when I've had to change tires.

What I like most about it is that despite it being old, it doesn't seem to require a lot of maintenance. This is commonly brought up as a selling point for Toyotas, and I have found it true it my case. I bought the vehicle with 160,000 miles and expect to be able to take it past 200,000. The trunk space is very large and the seats fold down, which is another plus. I have transported my belongings in the car when I moved, and the car fits a lot more than you'd expect. Long items can fit from the back of the trunk and extend to the center console. This was convenient for me transporting a partially taken apart Ikea bed. The gas mileage is solid. I commute 20 to 30 minutes each way to work, and I only have to fill up gas once every 10 days or so. With all that said, this is not a luxury vehicle. The car is not flashy in any way at all, and is very plain looking. If you are trying to show off with a car, this certainly isn't it. The acceleration is terrible, and when entering the highway it can take a little while to get up to speed. Also, while it's not a huge problem, the emergency brake light doesn't work properly so it's impossible to know if the brake is really on. The light will just randomly come on even when the brake isn't on. Also, the arm rest on the console is rock hard and is very uncomfortable to rest your arm on during long trips.
