2008 Toyota Camry User Reviews

Pros

Good fuel economy, great appearance, comfortable, very safe.

Cons

None so far.

I've had my Camry for a little over 5 months now and I'm completely satisfied, it's a great car in every respect and I believe it's excellent value for money.

Cons

Problems, Problems, Problems

I have a 2007 Camry LE with around 25,000 miles. At this present time I am having problems with the fuel gauge. The car shows E and I have 4 gallons of gas when I fill up, what the heck?!??? Also when driving for over 1/2 hour the shifting box gets HOT when you have the headlights on. I have brought the car to the dealer (still under warranty) and the dealer says there is nothing wrong. The only problem I see is I really wish I would have waited for the new Accords to come out....read morehide

Pros

Great Fuel Economy, Comfort, excellant brakes, powerful V6 Engine

Cons

cheap interior material

Its been 11 months when I bought this car. I drove it from California to Seattle Washington. I enjoyed the ride and still enjoying it. on average I get 25 miles per gallon (city driving) from my V6 engine. I am very satisfied with the performance of this car.

Pros

Great on Gas!

Cons

Its a little slow on pick-up

I bought my 07 Camry brand new in the beginning of that year. I was thrilled of purchasing my very own Camry. My brother had an older model Camry once, and it was extremely reliable.

I find the Camry to be comfortable and roomy. This is a family-friendly vehicle. The only drawback is the pickup. Otherwise, I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is in the market of buying a car....read morehide

Pros

consistantly over 31 mpg if I stay @ 70 mph - depends on wind & temperature.

Cons

Warranty replaced rt/front door, window/reg motor @ 35,000 mi.

This is a 2002 model but I think the Camry's history is what these reviews are about. I am trying to show more than just a few months history for the Camry. We have had no further problems with the car & it now has 111,770 miles on it. This Camry now has its third set of tires (Goodyear Viva radials are what we use & they wear VERY well on Camrys).
Oh, we did have to replace the battery when the car had 99,770 miles on it.
The paint is a medium blue and is not faded (this auto sits in the sun every day).
Ride is surprisingly smooth, seats are comfortable (even on two day trips), climate control is more than comfortable, & the factory sound system will surprise you.
This camry handles very well for a sedan, and has good acceleration for a 4 cyl auto. We purchased this car for fuel economy, comfort, & reliabiliy. We did not purchase it to "outrun" every other vehicle from stoplight to stoplight (and my first new car was a 1969 "440" ROADRUINNER -- I do know what 'stoplight to stoplight' means).
We will purchase a new Camry in about 6 months. Hopefully it will be as good a car as the one we have now, and I think it will be....read morehide

Pros

Relatively smooth in comparison to previous Camries I owned, modest fuel econonmy.

Cons

Various electronic dysfunctions. CD Player and head light deactivated after 15 minutes.

During the initial month, I noticed that the CD-player is incapable of functioning more than 15 minutes; it constantly deactivated after 15 minutes. The dealership claimed that they didn't recognize a problem, which is extremely ignorant of them, however, they agreed to change it in order to maintain "customer satisfaction." How could any normal person not recognize that the audio system discontinued producing sounds?

In addition, an even more tragic situation, which the dealer claims that they do not recognize as a problem, is that the headlights that are activated by the initial turn of the knob deactivate after 15-20 minutes of use, complete ignorance. I own both a 2007 and 2008 Camry and compared both of them, that is not normal.

I am not particularly satisfied with the 2008 Model due to such problems and the dealers lack of willingness to recognize and correct the errors....read morehide

Pros

No outside noise & good on gas.

Cons

The consul should be stable, not sliding back and forth. It will break soon.

I think it is a good car, I have not had any problems as of yet. It rides good, I use to drive a Cadillac Seville. (it gave me alot of problems)

I am a happy customer. (smile)

Pros

Good gas milage and a it has good comfort.

Cons

Rides slow,Looks like toyota is going cheap with parts.

My freind let me drive her Camry from San Diego to LA and when it came to power on the freeway you could tell it was missing.Why is there all these noises coming from the A/C vents?,Anyways in my own opinion foriegn cars are going down hill and American cars are making a come back.

Pros

Great fuel economy , styling, very refined 4 cylinder engine

Cons

Basic looking wheel covers. Should have standard alloy wheels on the LE model

Having read a lot of the reviews on the Camry and owning several of them over the years I am happy to say that I love my 2007 Camry.

I'm sure that a lot of the negative comments posted here are those of paid bashers and negative folks in general that are not happy with any car they purchase

Is the Camry perfect? Of course not, no car is. But here is what I see as it's strong points.

Very powerful and refined 2.4 litter engine.

Good fuel economy . I average 33 mpg on the freeway

5 speed Automatic transmission that shifts smoothly

Nice ride, not to soft or firm

Well laid out interior without a lot of little controls everywhere that are hard to see.

Dependable track record for repairs. ( Ask any professional mechanic)

Outstanding safety record

Last but not least. Great resale value


There are some small negatives such as a generic looking interior and simple looking wheel covers, but overall the Camry is a good bang for your buck...read morehide

Pros

Good Appearance (Facade)

Cons

Slow to react on acceleration.

This car is dangerous to drive. Power will wane just when you need it,
as in pulling into traffic. When you start forward from a stop (such as at a STOP sign, to pull into traffic, it may hesitate and leave you vulnerable for a broadside. I am always on the defensive when driving
it and I hesitate to let anyone unfamiliar with it to get behind the wheel. I have less than 5,000 miles on it and I will probably get rid of
it (at a huge monetary loss). You cn bet my next car will NOT be a
Toyota Camry. I am 76 years old and will die soon enough, I don't
need this Camry's help....read morehide
