5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I am a new Camry owner. I purchased a used 2007 Camry SE back in June 07. I had been driving a 2004 Dodge Ram Hemi on a 70 mile route trip commute to work and just could not afford the gas any longer. I am very pleased with the Camry so far. I am averaging between 28 and 33 mpg, compared to the 15-16 i was getting on the Hemi. I miss the power but my billfold appreciates the savings. I have had a lot of very nice comments on the sporty look of my new Camry. Oh yeah, I went out and bought an old 1991 ford f150 to hunt out of, so i have a beater for a hunting truck and a nice ride for my daily commute!

I went from my 2007 Hemi QC to same car as yours but in grey color. Love how much $$$ I have saved since I got rid of the truck. Same thing about power, but I remeber I never really got on it anymore because of gas prices..used to be a resident of DodgeTalk.com
I'm diggin' the oh-so urban monochrome camo paint scheme on the Ford. Drop 'er way too low, add some Wal-Mart neon lights, and a cheap sound system too loud for the structure of the vehicle so you get that thump'n'buzz while you cruise...BUMPzzzzz BUMPzzzzz BUMPzzzzz BUMPzzzzz...
I kid... seriously, that truck is 100 times better condition than my old Dodge, which gets AWFUL gas mileage on my 140-mile round-trip commute to work every day. It doesn't speak well for my intelligence that I continue to drive the Dodge while the Camry sits at home. It's my wife's car, though, and I can't stand to put so many miles on it. It's pristine!!!
I like your Camry choice, by the way... Barcelona Red is a great color! Congrats on your purchase and welcome to TN!!

I appreciate the welcome to the forum, thought i would add a pic of the Hemi that I had to part with. Once again I am very pleased with the performance of my new Camry SE and each day i get comments on the sporty look! I know the old Ford I posted a pic of on here is not actually a true replacement for the Hemi i traded on the Camry, but it will serve my purpose for a hunting truck. Just shows what a few beers, a few quarts of paint, and you girlfriend can accomplish on a Sunday afternoon, Camo Pickup!
