hi im thinkin bout buying a 96 and toyota camry probably 4clylinder but hopw v6 im not planing many mods cause it will be daily driver i may add a k&n air filter and maybe custom exaust and etc but nothing too drastict was wondering bout gas milage how good on gas is the camry with v6? and the 4clylinder .?

my 6 gets around 20-22 city and 20-33 highway (dont ask)

i say go with the 6 cuz that would give your friends something to be impressed at.

i think go with V6

the best thing to do is drive a 4 and drive a 6. see what you like. even the best description wont do justice to driving each one.

if you care about milage then go 4 banger. you want a little more power go with the 6. 96 v6 might be a little tougher to get.

if its a daily driver and u have another car with some speed go for the mpg with the 4 banger, thats the only benefit(more mods avail tho) otherwise get the v6, i get about 21mpg with 70-30 city-highway

If gas is not a problem then go with the v6. That's the only reason I don't have a v6, I can't afford gas.

Ive got a v6 and i get around 25 mpg city highway. Great car, easy to fix.

best camry ever · 03-12-2005, 01:08 AM

V6, it's smooth like butter

thanks guys ive decided no older then 97 on the camry and will hopefully be the v6

97's tend to have problems in the front suspension. im not sure if the gen 4 v6 has the same suspension as the 4 but make sure you check that out.

if the car your gonna look at makes noise in the front act like your really worried about the cost and then knock $$$ off the price. then go buy a $15 haynes manual and fix it yourself.

I have 165,000km on 97 LE 4 cyl
Todate 1 round replacement shocks
1 timing belt replacement - due again -- be careful with this
No clutch problems (manual) no transmission problems
Still original muffler
Front suspenson problem was wear in sway bar bushings -- often diagnosed as something worse
Brakes have not been touched -- need to check in a few days -- mostly highway driving
The car is solid -- no rust -- but I am not exposed to much salt
LOUSY Headlights & marginal heater
Good Luck
