2006 Toyota Camry User Reviews

Pros

Purchase this car if you only expect to maintain changing oil every 3-4k miles, and that's it!

Cons

Too many people admiring the look and ride.

Best auto I have ever owned. That's why I have purchased three (3) and would really not even think of owning another brand. Nothing else need be said, no sir. Ofcourse, that is only my opinion, and gues what, that's what counts for Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Ha! Ha! I love my Camery.

Pros

Literally, the perfect car.

Cons

None.

We just took home an '07 Camry LE 4cyl. This car is wonderful in every aspect. From the quiet, efficient and powerful (when you need it) engine, to the smooth shifting transmission and the comfortable seats and plush yet sporty handling ride, the new Camry has hit a home run.

The new looks with better lines and defined bosy panels, hood and trunk, the car is a real looker and much improved over the less appealing looks of th past. The new Camry is easily along the lines of a Lexus and is what gives it that Luxury appeal.

Driving the Camry is a real pleasure and views are excellent with no blind spots. Interior controls are well laid out and easy to use....read morehide

Pros

Good MPG

Cons

Transmission is not what i've expected!

I bought this car brand new from a dealer. Well the best performance you can get from this car is when the mileage is below 5000. After that it will loose everything. Let Start from transmission to the tires. But the only part that amazed me was the breaks. I did not have any problem with them so far and I have this car for almost 2 yrs. Well I can tell you this; I’m not going to buy one again ‘till death. For the same price I would go with Honda which I recently purchase and boy, you can’t even compare them....read morehide

Pros

bad car

Cons

bad car

very bad uncofartable car.had to take it in 7 times to get fixed but still steering makes a lot of noises and steers like its loose .WOULD NEVER EVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN .first and last !!!!

Pros

The most practical and comfortable car I have ever owned

Cons

I agree - Paint is very fragile

I totally agree with "Seattle Joe". We have 7K miles on our Camry - it is a wonderful, quiet, comfortable car! My wife and I achieve 35+mpg on the highway - this is with the 10% ethanol additive required in the PDX region during winter. I am curious to see if mpg goes even higher once we convert back to straight gasoline.

As wonderful as the car is, the paint is far too fragile. We count numerous chips on our hood , and and we have ordered a clear 3M bra as well. My prior Ford and Nissan had superior paint in comparison.

All in all, we are very positive about this car....read morehide

I was in the market to upgrade from a Honda Civic to a bigger sedan. The Toyota Camry was a very smart choice. It offers the comfort and style of a sedan, but it still boasts a classic sporty edge.

Pros

Quiet, Smooth, Comfortable, GREAT gas mileage

Cons

Paint Looks Good, but Chips VERY EASILY

My wife and I are very pleased with our 06 Camry. We now have 5700 miles. Its smooth, quiet, economical, comfortable, and has excellent safety ratings with our side airbags. The auto tranny is smooth, and the 4 cylinder has plenty of power for us.

I have to agree with the others - the paint has a problem. We already have 18 chips of various sizes on our hood - this is from normal driving on paved roads. My previous car with 100K miles (a ford) had far few chips. Not sure what happened! Will install a 3M clear bra for protection. Aside from paint, Toyota did a very nice job with this car...read morehide

Cons

Paint quality is a joke.

I got my car in November 2006 and the front end is full of chipping paint. The dealership has totally turned their back on me and I am totally disgusted by it all.

They want me to buy some 3M product that adheres to the front of the hood and the bumper. Has anyone had any experience with that?

I'm totally frustrated....read morehide

Pros

Good gas mileage and even better performance for a 6 cyl, 268 hp

Cons

Transmission problem

I own a 2007 Camry XLS 6 cyl automatic. It is my first Camry and I am very impressed. The new body style takes a bit of getting use to.

The car only has 3,000 miles on it and is due to go into the dealer for a shop visit. The transmission has a intermitten problem. Shifting between 3rd to 4th gears during acceleration the engine revs up for a second or two, like the car went into nuetral before going into the next gear.

Also, during decelleration coming to a stop, the car intermittenly acts like a standard shift and does not coast to stop like a typical automatic transmission and acks like it is being held back.

I understand other Camry owners have had this problem....read morehide

Cons
