"Average acceleration, handles very well. Braking is short."

"Good acceleration for a four-cylinder engine; steering is easy and has a short steering radius; on hard acceleration there is some torque steer"

"SMOOTH ACCEL HANDLESGOOD"

"Could use about 25 more horsepower to be really confident pulling out and merging."

"It still has good acceleration and handling."

"The toe of my shoe often catches on a protrusion above the brake pedal that makes it difficult to brake. Very annoying and potentially dangerous."

"I can show a clean pair of Camry heels to just about any car from a standing start! The acceleration is great, which can be very important in certain circumstances."

"It has more than enough power for mrgering on to the freeway and passing in the mountains. It also handles well when passing in the mountains."

"Car drives rough above 65 mph steering had aligned several times struts changed, new tires etc... had trouble with radio cd player unable to repair makes noise"

"It does not feel like a 14 year old car. Love this car"

"very responsive handling"

"Does what I want it to."

"Steering is very smooth and effortless."

"great acceleration for a 4 cylinder, comfortable ride"

"handles and accelerates very well after 150000+ miles! Drives almost like a new car"

"Easy to drive"

"Drives and handles smooth"

"It has great acceleration when you need it, like getting on the expressway, and fine tuned control, like fitting into a tight parking space."

"Good economy car. Has lasted over 250K miles."

"Great acceleration and great handling. We love this car."

"overall reliability"

"The Camry’s acceleration was adequate, but it suffered from throttle lag. This was annoying at times. Hsndling was smooth and solid."

"see previous entry"

"Four a 4 cyl. Engine it has good acceleration and handle very well in traffic"

"I have the 6 cylinder engine, so it accelerates well. It is very handy for merging onto the interstate."

"As good as new."

"The car handles well, has very good acceleration, and gets good gas mileage with the SE V6 model , which has standard stiffer suspension, and higher power than the standard V6. The ride is firm, but still comfortable."

"I have the 6 cylinder model and it has plenty of power and acceleration."

"I was surprised at how well our Camry handles on twisty mountain roads, and the V6 has more than enough acceleration. Our Camry has over 165k miles, and still accelerates like it did new."

"This 14 year old car still handles very well. I live it!"

"The acceleration is plenty adequate and it handles very well on our hilly/curvy/country roads. And I have participated and won many time and distance rallys over the years - also many gymkhanas and autocrosses, with the trophys to prove it. It handles great for a larger car!!"

"Good Fast response when pulling out into traffic."

"The Camry is very predictable in what it will do in pretty much every situation."

"I can depend on it for driving in towns and also on a highway."

"it handles very good, never any problems"

"Acceleration is adequate, handling is predictable. Comfortable ride."

"There is some hesitation occasionally when you press the throttle"

"The accelerator sticks at times when first preessing. It was taken to the dealer the first 3-6 months. we were linformed it would work itself out after 1,000 miles. It never has!"

"Acceleration is excellent, but response tends to be sluggish at times. It performs well but does not inspire confidence."

"I am very happy with the way handles in traffic and no problem to accelerate in the express way"

"Great acceleration, esp on the highway."

"My Camry has been to the track a few times and is faster than much better cars. It also see regular towing action."

"The accelleration was never as acute (sensitive, responsive) as I would have liked. But, it's a four-door full size and it is only a four cylinder, so maybe this has something to do with it. After 12 years, it has lost some of it's "take-off" speed. I do buy cheap gas."

"This Camry has a lack of traction on the front wheels. It often will spins the tires on a start-up."

"This Camry has always had a tendency to surge upon acceleration."

"I had to drive straight for 14 hours and my back wasn't even uncomfortable"

"Brakes softer than I like.. Very comfortable ride."

"It handles like the Titanic but fortunately will never be directed by James Cameron. I never knew the lag when you punch engine at nearly any speed was a defect, until I read the submissions to the DOT re: recalls. Given the p/w ratio hard to understand that any emergency acceleration will likely take 2-3 seconds to actually work. Takes corners badly, takes bumps of any kind poorly. Front air deflector (covers bottom if engine) scraped pavent on flat street at 20 mph and broke attachment point"

"The 4cyl engine has enough pep to easily accelerate into traffic."

"Very comfortable on long trips."

"pleasant ride and handling"

"Dependable"

"Handling is abysmal. It's easy enough to keep on the road and you could say that its incompetence encourages attention and careful driving, but I wouldn't bother. Well, you don't buy a Toyota for it's precise steering, road feel, and handling competence, do you? Acceleration is bad and the V-6 was a waste of money. 2004 was the year they put in the 5-speed automatic and it's a terrible, intractable. No sense to the gear changes, it only stays in 2nd gear for a second or two, might as well n"

"When new to almost 200k miles great acceleration for a 4 cylinder, great gas mileage and reliability, great handling, quiet easy to drive car, little brake work and oil changes, changed the plugs myself, original everything except the fly by wire throttle control which cost 1k to replace, am still driving it even though it does need new shocks."

"The best handling car I have owned, being a V6 with a little tighter and beefed up suspension this car is easy to control and has good great stability in accident avoidance. I prefer the handling (almost sporty) to the softer handling of the 4 cylinder. The accelleration is phenominal ! Gas 32 mpg at 75 MPH."

"Seats are comfortable. The ride is on the sporty side with great acceleration for a 4 cylinder."

"good mileage, and smooth ride and acceleration"

"It is very comfortable, especially on long drives, and is quiet. The seats offer good support."

"Great back support and large seats Comfortable on load drives"

"seats are very comfortable. and easy to adjust to a more comfortable driving position. The ride is smooth and the noise level is minimal. Very satisfied with this car."

"Comfortable supportive seats"

"This is a car we like to take on long trips. For example, in the last two weeks, we drove over 3,,000 miles in this car. It consistently lets me feel comfortable but still alert despite relatively long days behind the wheel."

"The seats are uncomfortable: lower back pain."

"Very comfortable seats, lots of head room, easy access. Very quiet ride, not much road noise."

"The ONLY complaint we have on the Camry is that the passenger seat is not comfortable and you cannot really adjust it to make it comfortable."

"everything works just great, 200, 000 miles and i have paid less than $500 for repairs excluding maintainence."

"I bought this car specifically because of quiet ride and comfortable seats while going over bumps. It has not let me down whatsoever."

"This was my principal car when I worked and traveled for work. I always felt very safe and appreciated the ease of driving and the comfortable seats with lumbar adjustment. It is still the same in spite of the miles and years it has. I love this little car!"

"Ride and road noise just started going downhill the last year. Great for a 14 year old car! Seats are still comfortable and not worn out."

"The Toyota Camry Sport doesn't have enough room for me to sit up straight. But it handles well, has little noise and wonderful gas mileage."

"Quiet, smooth ride."

"This car is 14 years old and still drives smoothly and comfortably."

"Seats are high and firm; they are a little short for thigh support. I use a gel cushion to alleviate sciatic nerve pain- primary due to the short seats. The ride is firm, but comfortable. The cabin is very quiet-probably because the V6 engine and drive train for the SE V6 model uses the same hardware as the Lexus automobile."

"COMFORTABLE SEATS LITTLE ROAD NOISE SMOOTH RIDE"

"front seat with lumbar support is very comfortable"

"It is very quite in the cabin and the seats are very comfortable. It has really help up well over the years."

"About as good as it gets."

"The car has been very reliable and it still delivers around 32-33 mpg. It has a very good heating system also."

"The noise level has increased with age. When the vehicle was new, the ride was much quieter. Some wind noise is noticeable now, and the engine is becoming noisier during hard acceleration. The seats are still very comfortable for all-day driving, and the ride has not deteriorated even though the vehicle still has the factory original shocks at nearly 160K miles and after 15 years of ownership."

"Very comfortable seats. Smooth ride. Fairly quiet."

"This Camry is fairly comfortable, and has a quiet, if unexciting ride."

"Very comfortable on long rides - even with 4 people inside."

"Continued comfort even over 100,000 miles. Leather seats have held up well. Love the seat heaters. Still looks rich."

"Seats are easy to adjust; good inside noise factor (horn is mellow sounding inside) Body paint factor has aged extremely well; Note: acceleration factor has 'slowed'."

"SEats are good for me, a tall woman. The cabin noise was pretty high till I had to have the muffler and the exhaust replaced (after 14 years) and the replacement dampened the noise amazingly."

"The seats are still as comfortable as ever. The road noise comes through and the ride can get a little rough."

"I'm a tall man, (6 ft., 4 in.), and I can fit in this car very comfortably. Ride is as good as any car I've ever driven. Outstanding mileage on road trips, avg. 35 mpg."

"This car is 14 years old and is quiet, and comfortable. The seat position and leg room are excdellent for me."

"Seats are comfortable except the headrest forces your head too far forward."

"Throughout the entire 170,000 miles, it's been consistently very comfortable, smooth ride, relatively quiet - Great even on long trips."

"It's a very smooth ride, silent and comfortable. The seats are fully adjustable, which is great."

"To much wind and driving noise, most of it coming from the sunroof, which even when closed is still noisy."

"My Camry's seats are about as comfortable as they could possibly be. Passengers always comment on the comfort of the seats. The seats are the SE sports seats. My ex-wife's 03 Camry's seats were not as comfortable. The SE sports suspension is awesome, firm but not too firm. The noise levels were excellent until a few years ago. 15 years in the Las Vegas heat and the door seals are starting to leak wind noise, but that's to be expected."

"Leather seats holding up extremely well cup holders plenty and accessible auto seats eeasy to operate heating and air responsive"

"For an older auto, still provides a good ride and insulated from most exterior noise. Dry dependable"

"Driver seat OK ride. Passenger seat very uncomfortable on back."

"Cloth seats are very comfortable and easy to keep clean. Road noise is moderate to loud depending on road surface and speed. Ride is very good."

"it is a very well built vehicle. i would buy another Toyota"

"It has a lumbar for the driver and a power controls which makes it very comfortable. Also, the A/C works very well in the car."

"Grey interior--good for desert areå (residence). Climate control: needs cooling in seåts. Noise--pretty quiet. Seats: great lumbar support, easy to reach everything necessary. Ride is smooth but I don't do off-road."

"The seats are NOT comfortable...Period. The depth measurement is not enough. It is like sitting on a swing.+"

"I wish it were quieter; not a major annoyance."

"Somewhat uncomfortable seats. Could use better cushions."

"The driver's seat is comfortable, even on long rides. It is quiet on the highway."

"Camry rides much better on long trips than a more expensive car we own. An price is much better."

"front seat head rests force your head forward while seat backs reinforce head forward position."

"Road noise is objectionable. Driver's seat cushion could be longer. Trunk holds a lot of luggage"

"no lumbar support in passenger front seat."

"The car has served me very well, the noise and ride quality are two areas that are problematic mainly due to the age of the vehicle."

"The automatic climate control system has developed a ticking noise, probably from the air flow door control, under the dash. The automatic temperature control is no longer as accurate as it was for the first 10 years of ownership."

"I find the shoulder safety belt to be positioned a bit uncomfortably. It sits a bit high , crossing the body just below neck, Would prefer it to be a bit more low."

"The newer Camry (since the first one I had in the late 80s) is larger and ungainly. What used to be a relatively nimble, almost high performance sedan has morphed into a clumsy, but reliable ride. IMO the change is not for the better."

"travel Noise a little higher than I wanted."

"The cloth seats are very comfortable with 6 way adjustments and lumbar adjustment. Very comfortable for long drives. Climate control system is very good but features are dated as this car is 12 years old."

"seating is fine for short trip under 100 miles. uncomfortable for longer trips"

"The height from the ground makes the car easier to get into."

"The seats are the most comfortable in any car I've ever owned."

"The leather seats held up real well...also the ride is great with new struts up front. ...noise isn't bad for a car of this age."

"Both seats comfy, well-padded, & have full range of adjustments. Excellent driving position. You sit upright! Climate control excellent, pretty easy to use by touch. Noise is O.K., could be quieter. Ride is O.K."

"very comfortable ride, spacious cabib"

"Road noise is a bi high but the roads here in Oregon are not the smoothest."

"The driver's seat is very comfortable for me. It is fully adjustable and there is a lumbar support in exactly the right position for me. The climate control is excellent always comfortable.

"For a car that is now 13 years old, and still holding up well, we have been very satisfied with our purchase."

"Excellent value, car is solid and still looks good. Still in great shape."

"The car is very reliable and needs nothing beyond routine maintenance"

"This car is a GEM; no major problems since I purchased it new in 2003. I wish I had another like it. To me, it is worth more than its book value."

"The base model was inexpensive to purchase and operate, yet comfortable and reliable."

"Only had it worked on once and that was at 359k miles."

"good reliable car and price"

"Camry value is good especially for its reliability."

"minimal cost of repairs beyond annual maintenance"

"Good initial price. Very low maintenance costs. Continues to perform reliably. Mileage is fair. Six cylinder gives great acceleration and performance."

"Still runs like new"

"Very dependable vehicle, my husband wants to keep it forever"

"Great value - The best car I've ever owned. Has 170,000 miles and has only required regular maintenance work and no other issues have come up. Bought it expecting to drive it 250,000 miles, but currently thinking more like 350,000 miles or more."

"Runs great, no rust after 14 years in the Northeasr."

"Best purchase we've ever made. Over 14 years and never any major repairs. We have driven it cross country with no preparation and even took it overseas with us and never a problem. We saw the same model all over the roads of Cambodia and that is the surest sign that you have a reliable vehicle!"

"The Camry was excellent value when I bought it new and has served us well for 14 years and counting. It is in excellent shape and will probably run for another 10 years at least"

"NO REPAIRS IN 14 YEARS."

"The Camry was my dependable and economic commuting car for 12 years- no major repairs required. It was comfortable and reliable. Its a second car now."

"Extremely reliable. Good performance. Excellent for basic, safe transportation. Starting to burn a little oil but I expect to get 250,000 miles before selling."

"Given that this car is 14 years old and still operating well, I’d have to say I’ve got a lot of value for this car."

"For what we paid, we've never had any major repairs, or breakdowns. It fits 5 people all their stuff and still can tow a trailer."

"the car is 14 years old and it still runs great. I have not had any repair expense over 250.00. Most of the expenses have been for regular maintenance. I take my care to the dealer where I bought the car and they let me know if something needs to be done above the regular maintenance. I will probable buy another Camry next time."

"power of engine V6, safety features , air bags, stability control, gas mileage, overall handling"

"I purchased a Special Edition 2004 Camry. It had some features that came with the LE edition, and a few that did not. Those features were: Cloth seats, Special tortoise trim on the console, 16 speaker JBL system, and the standard white pearl paint offered on the Lexus model cars. When I compared prices of other vehicles with the same features, the price was considerably higher. Also the warranty that came with my Camry wasn’t the best from the other vehicles such as the Honda Accord."

"I have never had any problems with this car. It handles very good for an elderly person."

"Camry has been a good buy for us. Although we are over 100,0000 miles, the car continues to run like a top, be a comfortable ride, and look good. Very few maintenance issues over the life of the car."

"This is a great car but at around 265000 miles some parts began to fail. I replaced the radiator, voltage regulator, starting motor, and at 270000 miles I replaced the engine with another engine which had 90,000 miles on it. This car handles well and rides smoother than my Jaguar Vanden Plas. Acceleration is excellent. I will replace it when the time comes with another Camry."

"This vehicle was purchased new in December 2003. Maintenance costs have been remarkably low, and the vehicle still looks good and drives good. I consider those attributes to constitute great value for my money."

"Excellent value considering the car is now 14 years old and has presented no major problems and is running excellently now."

"We have owned this car for 14 years and have had little expense except for tires and struts"

"Wife’s car. Good value."

"Other than brakes (I'm hard on them) and tires; I haven't had any engine 'overhauls' or any major expenses to repair or replace. It has aged well."

"Long lasting car with minimal maintenance costs."

"It is good value for the money - a very reliable car"

"I bought this car new and have only had one failure that I considered unexceptionable. The sunroof got stuck in the open position about ten years ago and cost $2,300 to repair. It has never broken down. I still enjoy driving it and like it’s styling. Considering it’s age I’m currently shopping for a used 2018 Red Camry LE Hybrid."

"the car is 14 years old and still looks good. it had had very few problems and been incredibly reliable. it still gets good gas mileage and the styling is not outdated. it does what it is supposed to do. great car!"

"Same as any Camry,,,great value for less than 25k for a new car,,,great reliability and safety, performance and comfort.."

"Low maintenance cost"

"Very good value. Great service record. Lost cost of repair and maintenance."

"Good Acceleration, handling, comfort, trunk space Bad Side mirrors need to display more"

"Another great car. The knowledge that it’s reliability and workmanship are so good that we can enjoy this vehicle for upwards of 300,000 miles."

"You can’t beat a Toyota Camry as an all around family car. The 6 cyl model provides enough power to do what you need it to do, it is roomy, relatively quiet with decent features."

"This car is nearing 15 years old. The paint is good, no rust, interiar is clean and comfortable. I've gotten my money's worth many times over."

"14 years old with more than 130000 miles and still providing excellent reliability, adequate comfort and operating cost."

"It has required no serious maintenance in the 14 years I have owned it and it still runs perfectly."

"bought it as a loss leader for $16,000, well below MSRP"

"I LOVE my 2004 Camry!! Still great styling! Such a comfortable ride! Easy to handle! No fancy electronic equipment to go wrong! I’m a realtor where it is expected to have the latest and greatest, but I don’t ever want to part with it!!!??"

"Solid. Very dependable."

"Very reliable"

"I have owned this vehicle for nearly 15 years. It is a gem! With proper care for a high-mileage vehicle, I'm anticipating to own it for another 5-7 years. Great value and cost-effective for me."

"The car is reliable, efficient, performs well, reasonably responsive."

"I wanted a car to last 10 years and I’m at 14-1/2 years and going strong. I don’t see the need to buy a new car any time soon."

"Lot's of power from the V6 yet I get around 24MPG. 15 years and 160K miles later I've had absolutely NO major repairs. Just the regular maintenance items, oil, tires, brakes. When it was time to change the timing belt I did have them change out my water pump and idler pulley, just because it made sense to do it. The cars still runs like new with no drop off in power or mileage. I do run Amsoil to give my engine the best protection possible."

"Have had the car since 2004 and it still runs great!"

"Good bang for your buck"

"It is disappointing that the longer I keep my 2004 Toyota Camry the more money I have to spend for its upkeep."

"My Camry has been a very good buy when compared to much more costly Toyota model."

"The car gets excellent gas mileage, very quiet and comfortable seats, was a bargain for the price"

"I feel that I got good value with this car considering I paid about $23,000 for it and it's still running well 12 years later."

"Toyota financing for 0% interest for 48 months, maintenance is reasonably priced, no major repairs or mechanical failures in 12 years!"

"It get's you where you want to go. It's comfortable rides great at a reasonable price. The main thing its dependable."

"Long lived; good reliability, but mpg is low."

"I only replaced the voltage regulator, spark plugs, and the front brakes on it and I have over 237,000 miles on it. everything runs like new. Rear brakes are original."

"Only one complaint and that is the sunroof quit working after 10 years. Has been a GREAT car!"

"This car has had a minimum of repairs required and has held up well for the decade we have owned it. We bought it when it was two years old"

"It is very reliable."

"Reliability"

"good car,208000 miles without any major problems. best that I have ever owned."

"It has 265k on it. It's 12 years old with mostly just maintenance done on it. Few big repairs. Super dependable v"

"Best auto I have owned. Smooth ride, enough power and incredibly reliable."

"solid and dependable"

"Excellent finish, no rust after 12 years. Very good on fuel."

"Car has almost 300000 miles on it and still runs fine. Outside of routine maintenance, had to rebuild the transmission once and replace the catalytic converter once."

"Drive chain, no belts to change, little brake work and oil changes, one major repair the fly by wire throttle control cost $1000 to replace but other than that no repairs in a little over 200,000 miles, roomy and comfortable, good gas mileage, nice ride, great car for the money, have driven three cars over 200k miles, two Subarus and this 2004 Toyota Camry."

"Bought it through Costco and am satisfied that I got a good deal."

"good price and reliability."

"Had to align front wheels more than twice during the last ten years. For the price and reliability for the last ten years the value is more than expected up to now."

"Have the car for 12 years and nothing needs to be repaired except regular oil change and maintenance."

"My goal was to buy a mid-sized 4 cylinder car for under $20,000. Not only did I get a great price, I got a great car. No major problems except for the 2 times car was hit while parked on my street."

"you get a comfortable, reliable mode of transportation"

"Good Milage,"

"Runs real well for a long time as long as you keep up on the maintenance and definitely change the oil"

"Excellent vehicle great value for the money. Never had anything major go wrong with the vehicle. No leaks"
