2007 - 2011 Toyota Camry Feedback Needed

I am currently looking to purchase a 2011 Toyota Camry LE with Convenience Package or the LE V6 and wanted to know what people's feedback was about this car. Essentially, I am looking for owners of 2007 - 2011 Camrys who can tell me what issues (if any) they have with their cars. I currently own a 2002 Camry LE V6 with 190K on it and it works great so I figure the Camry is a safe, dependable vehicle. Also the fact that there is a $3500 cash bonus on the 4 Cyl and $5000 on the V6, this makes it that much more enticing.

Also, can someone suggest any dealers in the Toronto or Greater Toronto Area (GTA) that offer really good prices on these cars?

Thanks,

Keep the 02... it is better built, more reliable and better quality than the 07-09 Camry.... seriously.

I have a 2010 XLE fully loaded, no issues with it so i can't put down the 2010-11's much.

But i still prefer my 02

Oh, I am not retiring my 2002 Camry. I am planning to trade in my 2009 Civic as I want something bigger. with the trade in on the Civic, the 2011 Camry seems pretty reasonably priced.

Does the 2011 Camry STILL have issues? I thought the recalls were all done on them and they have no problems.

Question- Why not go with the SE? It's sportier looking than the LE. Anyway, my boyfriend has a 2011 Camry SE for his demo right now and the only issue he has with it is his XM radio cuts in and out. The other guys he works with that have Camry demo's don't seem to have that problem, so it's probabaly just his car. I was going to go with the SE before I got my tC.

I've heard too, that Toyota for 2012 is going to be making more SE's then LE's since the SE is a better value for only for more bucks.

It's too back you weren't near Metro Detroit. Have a great dealer you could go to. The sales management staff is AMAZING

Nope, most buildings in our town are only 2 stories. We'll just be cruising along and then "no signal" pops up. Like I said, it's a dealer demo. When he's done with his 6000 miles he'll get a new one.

the rear seats in the SE do not fold down, so that's why I prefer the LE. also the ride is not as good on the SE as the LE.

I've had the exact model(2011 LE V6)you're looking at, since Oct 2010.

So far zero issues....except for the small dent in the trunk that appeared a week later.

I got about 8000 miles on it now.

^ I miss that fold down seat. Now that I seen stiffer suspension I know that the SE suspension wasn't stiff enough. So LE is a better choice.

And remove that '07 choice unless u want I4. Ppl report that I4 have water pump issue, it leak too soon.
