Having said that, if you do decide to buy a Camry, get the V6. The bright spot of this car is a rocket V6 that gets 30mpg on the highway. I drove I4 loaners when it's been in for repair and originally when I test drove and there is no comparison between the 4 and 6 cyl in power or noise, and the gas mileage differnce is very small.

You must not have read the point where I said, just please don't tell me about the V6s. You think they're faster? Uhhhh.... just about 110hp difference -- I would expect them to be better than that. Also, I've heard many places that the actual MPG isn't anywhere near what Toyota has been claiming on the V6s (I've heard it on the I4s as well ... but not as bad.)
After going from a 240hp V6, I think I can take a four cylinder possibly, I can especially forgo performance for some extra gas mileage. As I said above, I can't really afford a V6 in this body style ... soooo..... I'm pretty much paying for the car upfront, and since I won't have a job while I'll be working while I'm in grad school it's pretty hard to make a car payment. Thanks for your help though. Magnetic Grey is pretty.... but I like the White, Barcelona Red, and Ribbon Blue.... maybe silver. Hell --- I don't know.
I just don't want my transmission to completely act up on me.
