I am a Camry owner and a Camry repairer. I have 219.000 mi and a 2.2l engine. And I have a friend who's 315.000mi Camry's life was cut short by an accident(tragic). I was in a Snap-on sales pitch with about 50 others about a certain tool and the salesmen made the statement 'we all know how awful Camry's are' and everybody laughed. He was serious. My experience is other then seals, gaskets and belts, Camry's, especially the 2.2L, are very low maintenance. And when something does break it usually isn't major, is easy to fix, and fairly inexpensive.
Have I been taken advantage of?
Am I lost in the darkness of my own blinders?
Or are Camry's Better?
