My girlfriend has a car like this and it burns oil fast. But we dont have a oil leak no where. We have to put oil in it every 2-3 weeks. Brought it to the Toyota dealership and ask if they had a recall. They told us no.
Luckily I was able to get mines completely fixed by Toyota in 2020. I bought a warranty when I got it from a Honda dealer, and no more oil consumption after get a complete engine overhaul.
I own a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid and I love it! I bought it in 2010 with 40k miles on it and it has 334k miles now and still running like brand new, no issues, no high maintenance cost... I just love it 😍
@@kendrickf-d6695 The only thing that I can think about is the headlights, they usually burn ones every two years, left or right, the cost of each bulb run between us$9 and us$16 other than that just maintenance, oil change, tires and brakes
I gotta disagree. It looks chunkier than Zack. My dad has a Camry from the previous generation (2005 with a 5MT), and while its looks won't win any awards, I don't actively dislike his. I can't say the same thing about our 2007 model.
I have this exact one. Yea she burns some oil, but I love her. I drive home 400 miles away quite a bit and she never fails me. I did replace the stereo system and geek squad had fun with that. My 2012 fusion and 2013 kia forte traumatized me from the mechanical and computer issues. I ran back to Camry fast as I could after the Ford shuttle driver said his whole family is 3 generations working at Ford, but only drive Toyota 🤣.
2nd owner of an 07 LE. First owner was an older lady who taught at a school. 170k miles and it drives like a dream. It's slow. But it's mine. And it still makes me smile.
Same here my friend... Bought an 07 from an elderly lady that was the 2nd owner but owned the car since 9k miles.. I got it with 110 and now just hit 114k today... Lady was a life long cigarette smoker so that was one issue and the car looks like it was never cleaned on the inside so it was pretty bad.. but I can deal with that. I love it so far and would like a 2011 manual as this is the 1st automatic I've ever owned.. but hey not bad for a daily at all
Bro I always enjoy these reviews. Fwiw whoever makes jokes at your weight, lives a sad life because what else can they joke about. They come to watch your video and then post negative comments, but they came there in the first place. I’m overweight myself and I think it’s shallow and childish to make jokes of this nature. I honestly love the back seat review, it’s become an exclusive thing you do and gives me an idea on that cars practicality (I have a big family).
Exactly. People making any type of hurtful jokes deserve to go to hell honestly. You can tell they don't believe in God, and that they don't go to church either. They need to pray.

Got it from Florida with basically no rust at all underneath and that baby is still going strong.

Always loved these from new. Remember thinking when they came out I'm going to get one of those one day! I've now owned a 2010 model for nearly a year, 17000 kms, and not a single issue. Beautiful to drive. Basic, but hey that's less things to go wrong!
I just bought this car, fully optioned with sunroof, ABS, auto-dimming rear view mirror, ec. etc. and I installed a centre consoul with backup camera and dash cam. I have never been happier with any car in my entire life. Does not burn oil (maybe it was recalled and fixed) and the dash does not get sicky (maybe recalled and fixed). This car has absolutely no problem and has all the tech I need.
2003 camry v6 xle 325000 miles and like a timex it is still going. Nothing fancy, but comfortable drives dang good and just keeps driving. Owned many trucks and cars in my 33 yrs of car driving, not one has held up as well.
I've had a 2008 camry xle v6 for a year now. Bought it at 103,000km and now has 108k miles. All black, modern wheels (black and chrome to match with the chrome around the windows and front grill), and an all round black tint... It looks really good and holds up greatly for its age The 3.5L V6 is incredibly fast, and gives you that confidence of going past almost any car on the road with a very responsive acceleration time. It drives and handles like a dream, and unlike the 2.4L VVTI, it doesn't burn oil I've only had to go for an oil change once, and the next oil change should be after I put a little over 2k miles more on it. Not a single repair done since I bought my camry and I'm confident I won't be needing to go for any repairs anytime soon No kidding, I think every home should have at least one camry V6 sitting in their garage, I promise you can't go wrong with these bad boys
Had an 09, never stranded me. 1 time( rushing) forgot to put the oil cap on. Drove 90min to ohio, and noticed it. Only lost about 1. Quart. The oil burning got annoying to deal with. Good review mate, show them haters!

👍🏻 the 2007 Toyota Camry is a very practical and utilitarian car. This is a really good video on UA-cam and it should give you some idea if you plan to purchase a preowned car.💯
You are lucky because Rice Toyota will not repair mine and my car only have 127, 000 miles on it but I'm going to look into it further I brought my car in 2009, in 2023 that's my original mileage on my car they don't want to fix man up under their warranty
@@ronaldwall7896 they tore the engine down done the head gasket and the piston rings and that was it I tried to pay them to do the water pump and timing chain and they wouldn’t do it while they were in there! But at least they fixed the oil consumption problem which was the faulty piston rings. We traded that car in for a 2020 Camry nightshade edition and it’s a really nice car .
After only owning this car for a good month and a half (which was originally owned by my sister (only had 150000 miles and seemed to run smoothly, it does burn oil fairly fast) That was the main issue, my father would tell me to refill and check every 2 weeks, which is what I did! After the month and a half period, the motor ends up developing a rod knock instantly and dies all in one day. All I can say is, from a design perspective, it's a beautiful car. But it requires high maintenance when it comes to oil, I consistently refilled it every 1 and a half to 2 weeks. Had to return to my 2002 Toyota Camry, holds up on oil for a long period, and has 250000 miles on it and runs great. My father is narcissistic and made it out to be my fault and bashed me. He's the type of person that when you bring up a concern he will be like "what did you do this time?" And that's why I'm going to mechanics school so I can beat him at his own game and 1up him. I'm just sick of the treatment he slaps in my face when I bring up a potential problem or issue. I own my first ever apartment with my fiance, make music, a certified nutritionist, and all that man can do is only is bash and only bring up the negative in the things I do. Only a few times in my life will that man ever tell me that he's proud of me lol.
The 2AR-FE in the 2010 to 2017 Camry is quite an improvement over the 2AZ-FE. The A25A-FKS had a rough start but, could potentially last an easy 385,000 miles or more. As for the 2022 BMW 3 series, I'd much rather get the 2022 Toyota Camry TRD.
2AZ-FE is a great engine as well. It was only in the last few years like after 2006 or 07 that they messed up the piston rings. Before that, it was a perfectly well built engine
hi Zack thank you for the review, I had a 2011 Camry from 2010 to 2020, your video brings back many many fond memories. The Camry is basic, practical, comfortable, cheap to buy, cheap to own!!!
Yes agree with every word and yes i love the bland of it. Basically never get a ticket because you just blend in. Left it for a year came back and it ran fine, tires had flat spots but the cure was just to drive.😹
I’m a car guy. I love big engines, manual transmissions & own 2 classic cars (a 77 Coupe DeVille & a 71 Olds 98 Luxury Sedan). My daily driver? A 2007 Camry XLE I bought back in 2022 with 25k original miles. Some call it boring but I’ve always loved the look of this car. It’s understated, yes, but also very classy-looking. The subtle styling cues are actually brilliant and the V6 - with nearly 270HP - make this car downright BADASS. It also has numerous features that surprised me - especially for a 15-year-old car: push button ignition, reclining rear seats, rear reading lights in the headliner & a retractable sunshade for the back window! And the best part? It’s NOT a black truck!
The problem is every freaking car becomes boring in 2-4-5 years and then you have the social pressure to buy another exciting car that eats your bank balance … this one starts as a boring car and after the honeymoon period you really don’t want to keep thinking about your car.. this is a car that sits in my parking lot and I know when need it it would be there … you don’t need a good looking friend… you need them to be dependable and be there when you need it…. I got the 2020 crv and ended up letting my wife drive it… I m more than happy with this Camry … took it once to my mechanic to test the waters trying to sell… this is what he said … it’s just 100k miles it’s practically new lol
You can modify it to look like a 2019 lexus outside. Looks so good and goes well with the shape of this car. Change the headlights, front bumper, tail lights and rear bumper, there you go...
My Mom has a 2011 Toyota Camry got a year ago with only 60,000 runs and drives brand new. We also had a rental for 2023 Toyota corolla cross and it drove the same as the Camry as far as smoothness
I have one of these at nearly 275k miles, and it's still going strong. We recently had to repair the AC, which hurt our wallets, but nothing too crazy. That said, I'm a somewhat vigorous driver, and I hate it. The steering and handling feel mushy to me. I much prefer to drive my '98 Accord V6 - not because of the extra 42 bhp (though that doesn't hurt), but because Honda's steering gives me more confidence in the corners. Also, the volume knob on the Camry's center console is all but meaningless. I use the buttons on the steering wheel exclusively because of the vast difference in precision. This car is perfect for me brother-in-law, who would give up driving if he could. If you want to get any enjoyment whatsoever from the driving experience, though, look somewhere. You can find a car that's very nearly as reliable but still rewards enthusiastic driving more than this one.
I just got at 07 Camry, I had a 08 Camry but unfortunately somebody hit my car and totaled it so I got a year below it, hopefully it’s as reliable as my 08 Camry was
My coworker owns one of these and she loves how much space hers has. I was telling her that my Mazda 3 doesn't have much space in the rear despite its a 4 door and she's like "hell no, couldn't be me."
Picked out an '09 for my mom, was very pleasantly surprised how good it was. It's not a enthusiast car in any way and I can respect that. The ride is velvety, boomers don't know what they're talking about when they say "new cars ride like go-karts." It goes over railroad tracks like they don't exist.
My 2007 Camry was a real oil burner. Toyota said it wasn't bad enough (which it was) and refused to fix it. Had to install a used engine from Japan. Other problem is the dashboard that is sticky & gross. Apparently Toyota would fix for 10 years but never told anyone. Outrageous. I'll end up using a dash cover. I'm the original owner. 231K miles now. Just had to do $2K suspension work on the front end.
I have a 99 Camry v6 5speed with 400K. Runs like new - no issues - no rust AZ car- you can't go wrong with a Camry - boring but will outlast all the flash in the pan new cars
I bought an 07 for 6500 and it only had 63k on it, the engine is in perfect condition all the oils look clean, no mechanical issues i had it for about 3 months, i been hearing this cars are bad with oil consumption so i been taking car of my car i did fuel injection and also did oil stabilizer and fuel system clean up, i am doing the best i can to ensure my car doesn have any issues and ensuring to change the oil 2k miles before due date, is this going to keep my car fron having oil consumption issues?
Cockroach of cars? I had one…. Customized the heck out of it lol lots of aftermarket goodies for that car. Really good on gas too! Really couldn’t complain at all about the car
if you look at the generations after this one (i think this ones the XV40) espiecally the xv50, the lines aren't as smooth as this one the design on this 07 holds up better in my opinion
I’m looking to buy one of these. same model same year in the videobut the really dope red color Has 116k on it. Do you think the oil problem was fixed by now? Or should I go with another car I’m looking at which is a 2010 Toyota Corolla le.
You need to review my Camry, the interior looks way different then this base model Camry. Mine has a 5 Speed Manual Transmission and Black Leather seats. Black interior with silver trim pieces and the center console looks different mine is also modified.
I really wanted one of these as a daily but learned about the oil burning issue and can’t get myself to consider one now. It’s a shame. The accords of the same year have problems of their own and suck on gas, fusions and Malibu’s had bad engines or transmissions, there’s just not a great well rounded sedan from this era without an achilles heal. Shooting for a Mazda 3 hatch now, but can’t find any in the spec I want (sunroof, tan leather heated seats, 2.0 instead of 2.5) looking for a used modern daily on the cheap is tougher than it should be now adays
@@SirAuron777 what’s with the oil burning issues? Never heard about it with the Camry, I have a 2007 v6 with 185,000 miles, but my brother has a 2009 v4
I've had Toyota/Lexus products for the last 9 years and all but one were boring to drive. Aside from some initial quality issues in my 2014 Lexus IS 250, they've all been remarkably reliable. I won't be first to the finish line, but I won't have to stop for gas or maintenance while I'm getting there.
I live in Varna Bulgaria. I have the same car. Here the petrol is expensive, a make the car on LPG. I love this car. I m on 117000 miles. Do i need to change the oil of automatic gear box. Spark plugs? I have didan chage anything, exept oil and filters.
My biggest complaint with this generation of Camry was the styling. It was just too blobby. While previous generations were plain, they were lean-looking and kind of sleek. Future generations arguably went too sporty and overstyled. But this was just heavy looking and had no sharp lines. They even copied the maligned BMW Bangle butt for the trunk...
My 2007 Toyota Camry LE is burning engine oil, now I have to drive the car with a 5 quart oil container in my trunk. Any advice? I live in Philadelphia, PA
*EDIT* this 2.4L engines had oil consumption issues from the factory, and many of them were recalled. The one in the video did not have such issue
My girlfriend has a car like this and it burns oil fast. But we dont have a oil leak no where. We have to put oil in it every 2-3 weeks. Brought it to the Toyota dealership and ask if they had a recall. They told us no.
Run some marvels mystery oil OR sea foam in the oil. Synthetic oil changes no more than 5k miles. And it'll help with that oil consumption problem.
It's bad piston rings.
Toyota only ever issued a technical service bulletin that is long expired.
My 2007 camry LE had the oil burning issue and they fixed it under the recall and no oil burning issue since
Luckily I was able to get mines completely fixed by Toyota in 2020. I bought a warranty when I got it from a Honda dealer, and no more oil consumption after get a complete engine overhaul.

You are lucky because Rice Toyota will not repair mine and my car only have 127, 000 miles on it but I'm going to look into it further I brought my car in 2009, in 2023 that's my original mileage on my car they don't want to fix man up under their warranty
@@ronaldwall7896 they tore the engine down done the head gasket and the piston rings and that was it I tried to pay them to do the water pump and timing chain and they wouldn’t do it while they were in there! But at least they fixed the oil consumption problem which was the faulty piston rings. We traded that car in for a 2020 Camry nightshade edition and it’s a really nice car .
After only owning this car for a good month and a half (which was originally owned by my sister (only had 150000 miles and seemed to run smoothly, it does burn oil fairly fast) That was the main issue, my father would tell me to refill and check every 2 weeks, which is what I did! After the month and a half period, the motor ends up developing a rod knock instantly and dies all in one day. All I can say is, from a design perspective, it's a beautiful car. But it requires high maintenance when it comes to oil, I consistently refilled it every 1 and a half to 2 weeks. Had to return to my 2002 Toyota Camry, holds up on oil for a long period, and has 250000 miles on it and runs great. My father is narcissistic and made it out to be my fault and bashed me. He's the type of person that when you bring up a concern he will be like "what did you do this time?" And that's why I'm going to mechanics school so I can beat him at his own game and 1up him. I'm just sick of the treatment he slaps in my face when I bring up a potential problem or issue. I own my first ever apartment with my fiance, make music, a certified nutritionist, and all that man can do is only is bash and only bring up the negative in the things I do. Only a few times in my life will that man ever tell me that he's proud of me lol.
You okay bro? May need therapy. Everyone needs therapy 😂
Wow, you really poured your heart out here, somewhat incongruously among the comments...if you need help, please feel free to reach out 👍☺️
I've been dealing with the same thing with my father, he's as useless as shit but all you can do is work on yourself my friend.
This took a turn lol
The 2AR-FE in the 2010 to 2017 Camry is quite an improvement over the 2AZ-FE. The A25A-FKS had a rough start but, could potentially last an easy 385,000 miles or more. As for the 2022 BMW 3 series, I'd much rather get the 2022 Toyota Camry TRD.
2AZ-FE is a great engine as well. It was only in the last few years like after 2006 or 07 that they messed up the piston rings. Before that, it was a perfectly well built engine
hi Zack thank you for the review, I had a 2011 Camry from 2010 to 2020, your video brings back many many fond memories. The Camry is basic, practical, comfortable, cheap to buy, cheap to own!!!
There’s so many of these on my parking lot and street one of my neighbors has 3 lol including newer ones that’s some reliability right there.
These were among the lowest ranked Camry’s ever tho reliability wise.
@@kid5042 Which ones were the highest rated?
@@TfyallLookingAt 3rd gen 4th gen 5th gen
Yes agree with every word and yes i love the bland of it.
Basically never get a ticket because you just blend in.
Left it for a year came back and it ran fine, tires had flat spots but the cure was just to drive.😹
I’m a car guy. I love big engines, manual transmissions & own 2 classic cars (a 77 Coupe DeVille & a 71 Olds 98 Luxury Sedan). My daily driver? A 2007 Camry XLE I bought back in 2022 with 25k original miles. Some call it boring but I’ve always loved the look of this car. It’s understated, yes, but also very classy-looking. The subtle styling cues are actually brilliant and the V6 - with nearly 270HP - make this car downright BADASS. It also has numerous features that surprised me - especially for a 15-year-old car: push button ignition, reclining rear seats, rear reading lights in the headliner & a retractable sunshade for the back window! And the best part? It’s NOT a black truck!
Great video! This is one of the best cars ever made and certainly holds up in my opinion.
The problem is every freaking car becomes boring in 2-4-5 years and then you have the social pressure to buy another exciting car that eats your bank balance … this one starts as a boring car and after the honeymoon period you really don’t want to keep thinking about your car.. this is a car that sits in my parking lot and I know when need it it would be there … you don’t need a good looking friend… you need them to be dependable and be there when you need it…. I got the 2020 crv and ended up letting my wife drive it… I m more than happy with this Camry … took it once to my mechanic to test the waters trying to sell… this is what he said … it’s just 100k miles it’s practically new lol
I have a 2007 Toyota camry, has 219000 miles, and runs fine. Doesn't look brand new on the outside, looks great on the inside and very reliable car.
I like those cars, particularly the older ones from the 90s, I drove a 93 that had 284,000 miles on it, still ran and drove great!
I see so many of this specific camry generation on the road all the time, even when taking a short drive to like, chick fil a or taco bell.
Actually surprised this Camry never been reviewed before
You can modify it to look like a 2019 lexus outside. Looks so good and goes well with the shape of this car. Change the headlights, front bumper, tail lights and rear bumper, there you go...
What’s the name of the front bumper cause I wanna make mine look nice 😂
I can’t wait for you to review my 07 Camry V6 XLE with navigation on July 1st! Going to feel like a Lexus compared to this more base model Camry
My Mom has a 2011 Toyota Camry got a year ago with only 60,000 runs and drives brand new. We also had a rental for 2023 Toyota corolla cross and it drove the same as the Camry as far as smoothness
I have one of these at nearly 275k miles, and it's still going strong. We recently had to repair the AC, which hurt our wallets, but nothing too crazy. That said, I'm a somewhat vigorous driver, and I hate it. The steering and handling feel mushy to me. I much prefer to drive my '98 Accord V6 - not because of the extra 42 bhp (though that doesn't hurt), but because Honda's steering gives me more confidence in the corners. Also, the volume knob on the Camry's center console is all but meaningless. I use the buttons on the steering wheel exclusively because of the vast difference in precision. This car is perfect for me brother-in-law, who would give up driving if he could. If you want to get any enjoyment whatsoever from the driving experience, though, look somewhere. You can find a car that's very nearly as reliable but still rewards enthusiastic driving more than this one.
Is your catalytic converter still ok after the oil burning?
I just got at 07 Camry, I had a 08 Camry but unfortunately somebody hit my car and totaled it so I got a year below it, hopefully it’s as reliable as my 08 Camry was
Any oil burning issues?
Underrated street racer
Well mines speedometer hits 260
Idk why but the seats in this car always felt comfortable as fu- and cozy on the colder days
I always thought it looked pretty awesome.
My coworker owns one of these and she loves how much space hers has. I was telling her that my Mazda 3 doesn't have much space in the rear despite its a 4 door and she's like "hell no, couldn't be me."
Getting this for my first car, i’m excited because of this review!
Picked out an '09 for my mom, was very pleasantly surprised how good it was. It's not a enthusiast car in any way and I can respect that. The ride is velvety, boomers don't know what they're talking about when they say "new cars ride like go-karts." It goes over railroad tracks like they don't exist.
7 months and 7 likes. I'll take it.
@@exxusdrugstore3002 years and 33 likes. You’ll still take it?
@@hiit8720 I must've been drunk because I have no idea why I felt the need to comment that 😅
@@exxusdrugstore300 makes sense.. lol
Im buying a 6th generation Camry from my parents with 27000 miles and Im stoked.
There is a 2007 Toyota Camry with 200k miles with a rebuild engine on sell for 2,000 what do you guys think?
That Is super cheap they are worth atleast 4k
I just bought a 09 camry le with a v6 with 127k miles for 7k and love it
Man F*** What These Miserable Ppl Say! Majority Of Us Look Forward To These Reviews💯
Underrated channel. I love your videos bro
I really want one with the 3.5 V6. They are sleepers and can beat stock 350z's in a roll with bolt-ons!
Dude fuck the haters…this was so helpful and I’m a bodybuilder bigger guy and the back seat review was helpful, and true.
My 2007 Camry was a real oil burner. Toyota said it wasn't bad enough (which it was) and refused to fix it. Had to install a used engine from Japan. Other problem is the dashboard that is sticky & gross. Apparently Toyota would fix for 10 years but never told anyone. Outrageous. I'll end up using a dash cover. I'm the original owner. 231K miles now. Just had to do $2K suspension work on the front end.
I have a 99 Camry v6 5speed with 400K. Runs like new - no issues - no rust AZ car- you can't go wrong with a Camry - boring but will outlast all the flash in the pan new cars
for 2010 MY the 4cyl engine and transmisson was updated to 2.5l 2ARFE 169 hp / u760E 6 speed automatic
AWD Camrys were sold in this generation in Japan...but only with the 4 cylinder engine.
I have the inline 4 xle model (Camry 07) and it actually has dual temperature control offered in it.
Great cars to drive everywhere
I bought an 07 for 6500 and it only had 63k on it, the engine is in perfect condition all the oils look clean, no mechanical issues i had it for about 3 months, i been hearing this cars are bad with oil consumption so i been taking car of my car i did fuel injection and also did oil stabilizer and fuel system clean up, i am doing the best i can to ensure my car doesn have any issues and ensuring to change the oil 2k miles before due date, is this going to keep my car fron having oil consumption issues?
Cockroach of cars? I had one…. Customized the heck out of it lol lots of aftermarket goodies for that car. Really good on gas too! Really couldn’t complain at all about the car
You should have had a modern 2022 camry next to the 2007 the 2007 looks just like the 2022 just less angry
This is my daily driver. excellent review!
You should do one from the 1997-2001 generation (preferably 1997-1999) I'm looking to buy one and there aren't any professional reviews on it.
I own a 97. It just goes and never breaks. About 190k miles on it. It's a very reliable car.
This is the car Peter would be driving in Office Space 2.
Take this candy and fill it with luxury features and new wheels. Bam. Best of both worlds.
I drove a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE with the 4 cylinder engine. It’s a good car.
if you look at the generations after this one (i think this ones the XV40) espiecally the xv50, the lines aren't as smooth as this one
the design on this 07 holds up better in my opinion
I’m looking to buy one of these. same model same year in the videobut the really dope red color Has 116k on it. Do you think the oil problem was fixed by now? Or should I go with another car I’m looking at which is a 2010 Toyota Corolla le.
You need to review my Camry, the interior looks way different then this base model Camry. Mine has a 5 Speed Manual Transmission and Black Leather seats. Black interior with silver trim pieces and the center console looks different mine is also modified.
I have a 2007 camry v6 love it and I bought used 2 years ago and really only problem I have had is the hood alarm
Hello
Thank you so much for this video. V informative and briefly explained
I love my 2007 SE! Allows me to keep my money in other places. 👍
GreAt review ur a good reviewer good voice. Toyota Camry for lyfe dawg!
These cars are so spacious inside i drive a 2020 corolla and getting in this specific car i was like holy shit its huge in here😂😂😂
Great video! Lots of headroom in that Camry? How tall are you?
I really wanted one of these as a daily but learned about the oil burning issue and can’t get myself to consider one now. It’s a shame. The accords of the same year have problems of their own and suck on gas, fusions and Malibu’s had bad engines or transmissions, there’s just not a great well rounded sedan from this era without an achilles heal. Shooting for a Mazda 3 hatch now, but can’t find any in the spec I want (sunroof, tan leather heated seats, 2.0 instead of 2.5) looking for a used modern daily on the cheap is tougher than it should be now adays
get a different gen camry?
@@randomrazr new ones are too expensive old ones are too old and clapped
@@notasolution try to find a v6 Camry, they don’t have that oil burning issue
@@SirAuron777 what’s with the oil burning issues? Never heard about it with the Camry, I have a 2007 v6 with 185,000 miles, but my brother has a 2009 v4
I mean, that’s the nature of buying a used car. Oil burning issues aren’t bad compared to a bad engine or transmission
I've had Toyota/Lexus products for the last 9 years and all but one were boring to drive. Aside from some initial quality issues in my 2014 Lexus IS 250, they've all been remarkably reliable. I won't be first to the finish line, but I won't have to stop for gas or maintenance while I'm getting there.
This car is so goated
These are notorious for the “sticky dash,” so watch out for that if you’re looking to buy one.
You’re right. We simply bought a custom dash cover for ours which also cuts down on the glare problem.
I live in Varna Bulgaria. I have the same car. Here the petrol is expensive, a make the car on LPG. I love this car. I m on 117000 miles. Do i need to change the oil of automatic gear box. Spark plugs? I have didan chage anything, exept oil and filters.
a comedian in car review. fantastic
"Without being crazy, but adequate."
I got a v6 and it’s had several problems since I got it, including a transmission @ 85k
7:36 or a ford panther platform car you can fit 5 big guys in there
If you’re shopping for a older Camry get the top of the line models!!
best drifting car
I owned one for many years never gave me an engine problem just regular maintenance just came cause the title 😂😂 coach rache cars?
What a savage title 😂😂😂
Sweet ride.
My biggest complaint with this generation of Camry was the styling. It was just too blobby. While previous generations were plain, they were lean-looking and kind of sleek. Future generations arguably went too sporty and overstyled. But this was just heavy looking and had no sharp lines. They even copied the maligned BMW Bangle butt for the trunk...
When I think of a car I imagine THIS car, a silver this gen Camry, funny thing is I’ve never owned one.
Good car. The only problem I have with it is that it consumes alot of Engine Oil
You should do a black 2007 toyota 4runner sr5!!! And a 2014 toyota rav4
Why black?
My 2007 Toyota Camry LE is burning engine oil, now I have to drive the car with a 5 quart oil container in my trunk. Any advice?
I live in Philadelphia, PA
what's your mileage now?
change the Oil with a better brand of detergent Oil then change again and use Prolong Engine treatment
