Toyota Camry GXI v6 2.5 auto 1990

4 star review

I bought one in Slough in may 2009, stood me at £430. Since then new cat 1 alarm, new alloys (£220), 82000 miles, sounds like a sewing m/c, drives great. It is an auto with overdrive, and sports setting. It is now worth £2000 of anybodys money.

Toyota Camry 1998

4 star review

I bought the Camry last year (2008) for the princely sum of £350 with 124000 on the lock. Cost £150 to get it through MOT. It’s great to drive. The auto box is smooth. The car has a luxury feel with full leather, electric every thing and it all works which must be testament to Toyota engineering. Makes a nice subdued growl when floored and it is fast. Only criticism is that it is quite boring to look at. Could do with a spoiler to jazz it up. For the money, it’s excellent value.

Ramas Qazar, Berkshire

Toyota Camry 3.0 v6 1996

4 star review

Bought my car with 160000 miles on the clock. Drove it for 10000 miles and it never failed me once. Extremely reliable and a very hushed engine. The engine almost caught me out on a few occasions as I thought the car would be off while it was idling. Very spacious and well equipped. I plan to trade it in for a used Lexus ls400 now with similar mileage.

Toyota Camry 3.0 V6 Auto 1998

4 star review

The Camry is a very under-rated car in the UK (but not elsewhere in the world) which means it is often avaialble at a very reasonable price second-hand. I have had mine since 2001 and it hasn’t missed a beat. It is large, comfortable and reliable, and has needed no work other than servicing. It shares many parts with the Lexus range and its build quality is similar. The V6 is packed with leather, foglights, cruise, sunroof, climate control etc. The V6 delivers over 190 bhp and with the auto gearbox you have a great powertrain with smooth gearchanges that seem to be intuitive, whether you’re driving hard or just doing the school run. Put your foot down and this apprently docile, understated car surges forward with a great (if fairly quiet) snarl from the V6, out-accelerating most other cars on the road. On the downside, it lacks "feel" through the steering that you might get with say, a BMW 5 series, and the ride is a little soft for some. Also the 3.0 is thirsty - you only get 22 to 24 mpg on the urban cycle. All in all though, if you’re looking for a great-priced used car in the large saloon sector, then the Camry will take some beating.

Owen Kelly, Pembrokeshire

Toyota Camry 2.4 CDX VVT-i 4dr

4 star review

Bought my Camry second hand and have had absolutely no problems with it. Solid, capable and very comfy. It’s not the most exciting car to drive or to look at granted but if you’re looking for a reliable family car with bags of space you can’t go far wrong with this one.
