Jul 17, 2010 - @mikembz1 I have a 1998 Camry XLE... LOVE IT.. I got it used about 7 years ago.. All I have done was maintenance except for an oil pressure sending unit leaking.. That was a $100 fix. Other than that.. it is a reliable Son of a Gun. Before this I had a Sable which I sunk over $3g into over a 1/2 year span... then a Chrysler Intrepid which leaked worse than a noodle strainer.. it was in the shop every other weekend. cost me over 6g over the year I had it.

Jul 15, 2010 - I have a Camry and in my opinion it's a great car. Very reliable and fuel efficient. I definitely agree that the media blown the story out of proportions.

May 31, 2010 - @3619Country or maybe the ford that installed defective firestone tires on their explorer's so rollovers were garuanteed. oh i know, you meant the ford that built the pinto with the exploding gas tank who didnt bother to do a recall because it would cost more than the resulting lawsuits. its not just toyota and ford? do a little googling and you'll find skeletons in all their closets.

vidjunkiej Says:

May 31, 2010 - @3619Country ford? you mean the same ford that was making horribly underpowered engines up until the new millenium. ohhh say like the 5.0 v8 in the foxbody mustangs that barely makes the same amount of power as GM's 3800 v6. or would it be the ford who built broncos that collapsed like coke cans so that their drivers were garuanteed to die in a rollover?

3619Country Says:

May 28, 2010 - @ken16310 GM, Ford, and Chrysler can make better cars than Toyota.

May 1, 2010 - he shift/gas by wire is an unnecessarily expensive complication with potential for death. Not allowing the engine to turnoff at high speeds a MAJOR design flaw.The press is a lot less forgiving than Ford had from the accident where the driver stopped on the highway and was hit by a pill popping truck driver.If anyone has a video of a panic stop in the Toyota at highway speeds with the throttle rigged wide open I'd like to see it, especially with and without a vacuum assist failure.

BDATNYNY Says:

Apr 30, 2010 - @Rac665 Ya i remember b4 F1 that toyota kicked every1s ass in WRC

BDATNYNY Says:

Apr 30, 2010 - @Thegreatjoker13 you need more research do you work on cars? maintain your car personally? or do u take it to a dealer/repair? have you replaced the trans? do you live in an area where is it cold and there is snow? What does water and salt do to metal? If you are soo right why has no one claimed the 1 million dollars that edmunds is offering for a defective pedal?

teflongator Says:

Apr 24, 2010 - There are alot of people who dont know crap about a motor vehicle! They only know where the gas cap is! I am a toyota technician and never had a gas pedal stick yet! You would not belive how many people come in there with two or even three floor mats.

Skyline329 Says:

Apr 24, 2010 - Funny how almost everyone is either kissing Toyota's ass or jumping on the "Toyota's a jap piece of shit" bandwagon. Ehhh...society is full of idiots I suppose.

JOJOBANANAZ1 Says:

Apr 23, 2010 - I FEEL SORRY FOR THAT POOR LITTLE OLD MAN IN HIS TOYOTA that wouldn't slow down going up that ICELANDIC VOLCANO

TenAuto001 Says:

Apr 23, 2010 - @Batmanshack I totally agree. People who think companies like GM and Daimler Chrysler have no faults really need a reality check. No company is perfect but GM and DC are not even close when it comes to building problem free cars. I've heard nothing but bad things from friends who own GM/DC cars. Ford i still have some respect for.

Batmanshack Says:

Apr 23, 2010 - @TenAuto001 Duh, GM government won't dare hurt their car sales with that! Lies and more lies, everyone wants to hate toyota but I can bet you american car developers have lied WAY more then others because of their crap cars.

DoctaDre69 Says:

Apr 20, 2010 - I started my apprenticeship at Toyota, and mechanics didnt make money there cuz it was mostly tune-ups and not alot of big repairs coming in,As for working at a Ford shop I made alot of money cuz Ford quality was terrible after the vehicle hits 5 years or if they did came in, it was under warranty and i didnt make shit-all, working on it! Yes, sometimes somebody will get a lemon from toyota, but lets also face that Domestics (GMC, Ford, Chrysler) are lemon trees that bare: LEMON cars lol
