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 have traveled quite a bit and thought I would offer my review so far,
I have had the oil and filter changed 7 times, tires rotated 7 times, and the air and pollen filter changed once.
I have burned 1275 Gallons of Gas, paid an average of 2.358 per gallon, and averaged 28.02 MPG. I am impressed with the car overall.
I had the front rotors turned today under warranty (35,985 miles) since I noticed last week that I was getting a vibration in the steering wheel when I would brake.
The Toyota All Weather mats have been a disappointment, I have already worn a hole where my foot rests on gas pedal. In addition one of the mats has torn where the holes are to hold them to the floor.
The only thing that I would change is I don't understand why the mirrors do not fold in. This should be on all models and especially the XLE model.
Would I buy another, yes, but I would look at the Vanza really hard.

same problem with the mats i had in my grey 07. my dad has a newer set and its a bit different and seems to be lasting so far though his car still doesnt have a year i have almost the same car btw. 09 super white xle v6 with navi and love it. venza i would get but it would need to have same pick up as camry.
Thats some really good feedback on product and the numbers make it even better. To put that many miles on a car in about 9 months really tells you something about the reliability of the car. My car is 2 years old in may and i have 25,000 miles on it with no problems. Except that it is starting to vibrate under breaking.
I drive 80 miles a day for work (35 each way + 5 each way for lunch) plus 160 each way to Atlanta every weekend. This calculation of course excludes my daily chores etc. I chuckled as my sales guy at the dealership was telling me about the superb 36,000 mile warranty. Little did he know haha.
As for the mats I have WeatherTech floorliners. I hope they dont wear. My factory mats started to indent where I placed my foot.
Nice review, I agree 100% on the mirrors, especially at this price point. That's some crazy miles you drive.
I am tracking for 55,000 miles a year which is about what I was putting on my company cars. They were replacing them at 60-70K.
I bought this car and hope that it will last 5 years with normal maintainence, we will see. It was Camry or Accord and I went with the Camry because of this board and the MPG people were getting with the V-6.

Wow, how do you average 28mpg?
I just spent a tank (14.8 gallons) of premium and only go 350 miles out of it (24mpg).
Do you need to drive speed limit at highway or something

I drive 5-7 MPH over the limit and set my cruise control. Everyday I will pass people 3-4 times on the highway, they speed up and slow down. This wastes fuel.

wow thats some heavy driving
glad youre loving the camry...
i average about 12-15k a year and i though i miled out my cars...
12-15 is considered average. i will have my camry 7 months on the 18th and i have little over 3700 miles right now. so by 18th i'll probably be around 3000 under average. though i drive more during summer so will make it up.
