I had a 2002 Camry bought new like this one with the V6, kept up on the maintenance and never had any transmission problems. I’m not hard on cars, but enjoyed having the extra power and smoothness of the 6 when needed. Sold it after 14 years and 180,000, just wanted a new one. That ended up being another Camry, also with a V6. It’s a 2016, only complaints: the seats are harder, not as comfortable as the 2002, and the audio system lacks bass, the one in the 2002 sounded much better (it had an external factory amp) under the passenger seat that made a big difference.

Mine is a 2002 V6 SE model with 112K. I've owned it for 16 years & spent about $7,500 in repairs but that figure also includes tires, brakes & oil changes. Replaced the timing belt at about 100K but have never touched the xmiss fluid. I like the car but it does have some issues. There is a rattling noise from the rear when I go over a bumpy rough road. I think it's the struts but my mechanic says they're ok. The other issue is that the driver's seat has a tear and I'm not sure what to do about it. I suspect that a heavy set employee at a discount tire place dropped himself on the seat instead of lowering himself & ripped it. I say this because I saw him do it to another car. I didn't report it because they would have said that it's a 20 year old car & what do you expect. Watch out for this & take a picture of your seat before you let them have it.

@@DJMAGGIXX no, I believe total production was around 64,000 over 2001 2010, and they were mainly aimed at the American market. James May from BBC'S Top Gear once called it the worst car in the world, I don't see why. Then again I can't, and won't, drive around like a maniac. The post facelift has the 6 speed which is 'sealed for life' and reworked suspension. I wanted a reliable convertible with plenty of power, the back seats are tiny but ok for our dogs! I had the timing belt and water pump done straight away and the rear subframe blasted and coated too. The front seats reconditioned and the transmission and axle fluids changed. So far no problems at all, the hard top works fine, I'm not a fan of cloth roofs but you get the best of both worlds with this. I don't know about you, but unless something is drastically wrong with a car, they all seem to drive pretty much the same to me.....

Hopefully you can help me out. I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7 V8 with lagging acceleration from 0-40 mph where You can hear and feel the engine revving, trying to work and breathe. I have switched out air filter, new battery, and cleaned the Air mass flow sensor but those have not solved the problem.

I have Lexus ct with 116000 on it, it has had 4 water pumps replaced at the dealer no charge because they thought it was leaking. It was actually the valve cover after 4 tries. Now I see white smoke. I will try barrs.

I’ve worked for Toyota for 23 years as a master diag tech, get the V6! Longer lasting Camry by far! Do your maintenance and they will not have issues. Toyota rotors are not good no matter what Toyota you buy other than Prius.

This is my car. 05 Camry 2.4l. 254k miles and going strong. Suspension and fuel filter replaced at 215k. Along with some spark plugs and a purge solenoid. Thats it. Its my favorite car as its so easy to work on. This was the car I had the axle seal problem with I asked & you answered on your forum. Trans serviced at 120k. I'm doing the filter and fluid soon I have the parts. Nowhere to work. I also did my rear bearings & brakes.

@Robbo Ironink that sucks, I would love it for my older awsome condition Toyota. That’s the only annoying thing about Canada, we can’t get some things, like rare car parts, rare cars, oil cleaners etc in this case. Luckily, I have a grandpa & family in Houston, so maybe ATS would ship to my grandpa, & then he could mail it to me. Quite possible. My lifesaver grandpa. He’s lucky he lives in a safe discreet neighborhood

Hey Scotty. Good video. But keep one thing in mind. Some Four cylinder Camry’s made in production from 2012 through 2014 had torque converter issues where the torque converter would vibrate heavily during speeds between 20 - 40 miles per hour. Toyota issued a TSB to get this fixed. if they tested it and they felt it needed to be repaired they would do it as long as the car was purchased within 8 years of the purchase date and it had less that 150k miles ( don’t quote me on the numbers). So be careful when telling your listeners to pickup a used I4 Camry instead of a V6!!
