2005 Toyota Camry

Pros: Apart from the transmission a good all around car
Cons: ECT doesn't function according to specifications. Lousy Dealer, no support to resolve issue.

Great car - BUT on long inclined grades the car continuously shifts between 3rd & 4th gears until the cruise control is turned off. Dealership agree that the ECT isn't working properly, even took out another new LE that did the same thing. Toyota Canada say "there is no problem". I do lots of driving in the mountains and now I have to do so out of cruise control to prevent hunting.

The dealership offered to resolve the problem with my 7 week old car - me pay $5300 to change to a V6. If I didn't accept that offer they said I could take up the fight with Toyota Canada - lousy customer representation.

Am in discussion with Toyota Canada and will await their "official response" - I should have stayed with Hondas.

Pros: Love the ride
Cons: Radio issue

I have had my 2005 Camry back to the dealers twice because of static interference when I turn the rear window defroster on. The first time the dealer had the car over a week. All was fine for about 4 weeks and then it started again. It is currently at the dealers again. Has this been an issue for others?

Pros: Highway gas millage 30-33 highway with cruise control. Headlights really light up the road.
Cons: Tires wear out fast. Paint scratches easily especially where door handles are.

I bought a 2005 Camry new after my transmission failed in the 1998 Honda Accord I had with 56,000 miles on it.

The Toyota Camry is the basic model, 4 cylinder, with automatic transmission. Everything I got came as standard equipment.

I have been very happy with it. If this car continues to perform the way it has been I will be a Toyota owner forever.

There is a lot of torque on the front tires when accelerating from a standstill. Easy to make the wheels squeal.

No problem on the entrance ramp onto the turnpike, 25-70 in a matter of seconds.

Pros: Lasting value, good looks, fit and finish, miles-per-gallon, more
Cons: view to the rear, tires

This car is a beauty. I bought the base model SE-V6 to avoid the leather seats in the SLE-V6. This car rides very well, gets 33 MPG on the highway, and is appropriately quiet with the top up. The upgraded sound system is terrific. The engine is very strong, more than adequate acceleration. The fit and finish is exemplary.

The MAJOR drawback is the view to the rear, severely impeded by the head restraints in the back seat (these may serve a roll-bar function) and the top when it is up. The provided "boot" impedes the view even further; I don't use that at all anymore.

The trunk space is small; for me, a "who cares".

The tires are mediocre for treadwear. The cassette player takes up space and will probably never be used.

This is our second Toyota, the first and third being Avalons (2000 XLS and 2005 Limited). Would I buy this car again? YES ! ! ! In a heartbeat.

Pros: Very Comfortable & Dependable nice car
Cons: Poor Gas Mileage

We bought our Toyota in 2005 for the gas mileage now were sorry the best we have ever gotten is a little over 20 MPG I have a 2002 GMC Truck V8 that gets 20 MPG on the highway & a average of 15 MPG you would think a 4 Cyl Toyota Camry would be far superior over the truck I don't get it. The car is great other then the lies about the gas Mileage. I would have been happy with the low of 24 MPG let alone 34 MPG. its hard to believe that any one gets 34 MPG ours runs great & has always been well maintained I hope this helps for those considering buying one based on the Gas mileage as far as the rest of the car Its the best .

Pros: 5-speed automatic transmission, quiet ride, radio controls on steering wheel.
Cons: Rear posts obstruct rear visibility some.

This new 2005 Camry is even quieter and peppier than our 2002 Camry (that we still own BTW). The new 5-speed automatic is geared differently giving better pick up. ABS brakes are now standard. We opted for the 'side-impact' air bags (approx $650 option).

Pros: Smooth engine, roomy and nicely equipped
Cons: transmission is a little weird

i put 210000 miles on my previous camry 93 until i crashed it. No headache what so ever, so i decided to buy camry again. I bought this 2005 for almost a year, smooth engine, very comfortable and very roomy!!! can't ask for more in compare with the same class with other mfg. Power is OK for a inline 4 engine, V6 would be a good upgrade!

But one thing that i have problem with is the transmission, my previous transmission is really great very smooth, but somehow with this new camry, i feel a little weird about it, dont' know what's the problem.
