Toyota Camry Saloon (1991 - 1996) 3.0 V6 GX 4d Auto (1993/K) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Nobody knows what they are - you get Mercedes quality and ride without all the attitude. Inconspicuous.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Loved it, loved to be driven in it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes in a heartbeat, if only fuel consumption wasn't an issue, if I did lower miles a year.

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe another Camry. If not probably a diesel, Volvo S60 D5 or Merc E300TD.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,600

When did you buy the car?

June 2003

Did you get a good deal and why?

Could probably have haggled it lower if I'd realised how cheap they were second hand.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Reliability. I needed a new car.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Best car I've ever had, I really miss it. Shame about fuel economy or I'd buy another (I had mine converted to LPG). Handling wasn't brilliant but OK, ride was incredible, like a magic carpet. Engine really smooth but pulls like a rocket if you drop down to second gear.

What's it like to park?

After 4 years I still couldn't judge the front and back corners when parking.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Very little in 4 years of ownership. Had 90k when I bought it and 145k when I sold it. was beginning to leak a little oil by then and air con wasn't working. Otherwise totally solid.

What's most practical about your car?

Comfort, effortless power and torque.
