Camrys are a really good car... i dont know why they have got such a bad wrap.. they handle, more than enuff power (V6 model) and are quiet, when i compare our camry to our old commodore i prefer the camry any day with out a second thought...

my 2 cents..



You can get the Camry to handle quite well with the right set up (well, you can do it with any car) but the lack of power or frontend heaviness doesn't make it a great handler.

The V6 is sweet but all the VZ series were plagued by sludging if not looked after and the 3S and 5S had inherient valve seal problems though I think the 4G Camry had fixed all those things.

Plus the 4G Camry were really dead boring to look at. At least the 2 and 3G had some sorta shape to it.

Also a big problem with it was that performance parts were few and far in between. Engine conversions were only limited to 3SGTE (as later generation 3SGE were very rare to find at all). But FWD and turbo wasn't always an ideal base to set up a performance car. Though some here have got a 3SGTE and FWD with quite some success. I personally couldn't find myself living with that set up.
