Toyota Camry Review | 2002-2006 

I own a 2006 XLE. I absolutely love this body style. I feel that Toyota did an excellent job on this year model.

I just bought a 2003 camry LE with the 3.0 V6,only 106,000 miles,super clean and smooth riding.i'll keep it forever.

I love my 02' Camry. 329,000 miles and counting 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏.

recently bought a 04 with the 3.0 V6. Best car i have owned in 40 years. Simple plain high quality vehicle. Smooth as can be with adequate power if you need it.

I got a 2006 xle and I enjoy driving it I think it's the best car I've ever owned

Bought myself a 2002 xle 4 cylinder. The thing is so smooth and easy to handle. Amazing for a 20 year old car!

love this gen of camry’s they’re so fucking comfortable

Those are one of the best cars ever made

Have 2002 since new, and absolutely love the car. Reliable, comfortable, huge trunk, plenty room in the back, great gas mileage, smoooooth ride, and low key. What else can you ask for?

5:44 "smooth, quiet, comfortable ride'' and reliable.

2003 XLE with 162k miles, love it

Mike C ... outstanding video. As a car-savvy grandpa, we're a familiy of Toyota's and Prius cars now searching for a Camry for a teenage driver. Thanks for a very descriptive video minus all the crap and gimmicks.

Bought my wife a 2004 LE touring edition with about 160,000 miles private sale 3 years ago for $2850 with service records after having it inspected by an independent mechanic. It also has the wood trim, sun roof, and gold lettering, so it’s about as pimped out as an LE can be. We’ve really only had to do some exhaust work owing to living in the rust belt. Good in the snow, drives smooth, big trunk, good fuel economy, beautiful interior, unparalleled reliability. She loves it. And we’re saving about $500/year by not having collision on it. Already it’s been a great deal and hopefully we’ll have her for several more years

Wrecked my 03..300+k miles..just found an 02 body ..swapping everything over..struts and all..love mine

I have owned a 2005 Toyota Camry SE V6 (3.3L) which has just under 300,000km. So far I have put just shy of 40,000kms on the vehicle and have taken it on several longer trips (5+ hours). I have really enjoyed the car and unlike the XLE, it has a sunroof and heated leather seats in the front with unheated leather seats in the back. The power out of the 3.3L engine is phenomenal (230hp and 225 ft pounds of torque if memory serves correct) and is surprisingly quick. I have swapped out the factory head unit for a touch screen JVC head unit with apple car play which pairs nicely with the factory JBL sound system. It is comfortable and well equipped ride. Anyone looking for a comfortable and well equipped vehicle as a first vehicle, daily beater, or just good old Toyota reliability will not be disappointed in this era of Camry. If you can, find the V6 models as the extra power is nice to have.

Thanks for the reviewing. I’m buying a 2004 and it really helped me.

Just bought an 05 Camry. In todays private market I was able to negotiate it for 3k. It has 208k miles and drives really good with no issue.

Awesome video, thank you!

I drive mine like a V8 😂🤣😅 my 4 banger is the same one in the Video, from to LA to Big Bear and back to LA 10 bucks. Super gas saver and has no problem hitting over 100 on the freeway 😂🤣😅 one tip I can give is use the dealer type fluid for the transmission

I have 2006 SE V6, blue ext, black leather int, only 63,000+miles, auto everything, sun roof, multiple CD & cassette as well. Garage kept, dealer maintained. Best Auto ever.

I was just looking at one of these....this one looks pretty clean. My 02 corolla still going strong

I have a 2002 XLE V6 and I put in a Pioneer MVH1400NEX to plug in my apple car play which I ran an usb extender near the heated seat buttons so it looks factory (look up BATIGE Square Single Port USB 3.0 Panel Flush Mount Extension Cable). I have a back up camera and everything in it. Modern conveniences in a 2002. Best part...No payments! It's better than most peoples cars they are paying $500-$700+ a month on!

I have a 2006 LE 3.0 V6. The V6 makes it extra special. Runs quiet and smooth and best of all it's an absolute sleeper! The 2005-2006 received the final refreshes and a 5 speed auto. I've had several V8 Lexus and the V6 Camry really Moves! It is the best car that I have owned. Simple to work on and such a relaxing stress free driving car. I have about 115k miles on it. I have many offer to buy it. I was in line to sell it for $6500 to a family member but backed out. Just not worth selling. I added a set of quality xenon light kit for vision at night. I left everything else stock.

Just got an 03 LE with 130k, super excited to drive it over my GMC Sierra.

Toyota Camry is a very nice car good on gas the resell value for a Toyota Camry $4500 $3500. $2000. Japanese car is all the best. Toyota Corolla. These are the two best cars that was ever made

Great blue color on that car. I drive a 2005 Lexus ES 330 V6 and can always count on MIJ vehicles of this era to be super comfortable and very reliable

Excellent 🤜🏽🤛🏽

I have the same car with same color. I bought it brand new from dealer. She has 339,000 miles on it now. But piston rings are work out. I am going to buy new camry.

Awesome video

I have an 03 xle with 176k and I love it.

I have a 2004 camry with 194594 miles on it and it still runs great.

Perfect video ❤❤

Bought a '02 Camry new twenty years ago. SE, V6, Aspen Green, beige leather with black and silver/chrome accents. Handsome interior. From the factory with firmer suspension (but not too firm), strut tower brace, sport, three-spoke steering wheel and black badges. The alloy wheels are very easy to clean. The rear spoiler looks good and adds detail. Factory tires were hard compound and scary in snow. 94,000 miles today. Three batteries and three sets of tires. Replaced front right wheel bearing and the left rear wh bearing. Some minor issues with right side passenger windows but they work and seal quiet. Zero squeaks or rattles today. Best vehicle I've ever had.

Great review. Thank you.

My 2006 LE 2.4 has the 5 spd auto..it rides beautiful with 230k

Nothing that screams style but I love it !!

I bought one 2 years ago with just around 37k miles and it’s the best

Good review, It's only missing the 60/40 fold down rear seat which greatly expands the carry space.

That's my kind of car, I'll get 1 and drive them until I die, awesome car, well made, deserves my loyalty for life... *kneels* Camry, would you marry me? xD

That’s awesome

I have 2006. Brilliant car. I don't like the new cars that are too busy inside. Just more crap that can break. Pure simple boring brilliance.

ah yes, boring but reliable... also has one of the best automatic transmissions i've owned to date

I had a 2003 one andd it just ran and ran. It got hit twice and repaired by a body shop and it ran and ran. I stupidly waited 145,000 miles to change the transmission fluid and nothing bad happened. No burnt fluid, no metal shavings. It ran great. I got rid of it in 2020 when it had 230,000 miles and got a 2020 Camry. It just ran and it continues to run as long you do the preventive maintenance.

Nice video bro.

I just hit 179k miles. They’re so good

2003 XLE 2.4L with 149k great car !!!

Like that aftermarket front classy

I have an 05 LE, 2.4 Liter. There is wind noise by the driver's side window, as you mentioned in the video. The gas and brake pedals are very annoying. Touch the gas a bit too much from a stop and the car lurches forward. The brake pedal does nothing at first, until you push it a little more, then stops hard all of a sudden. Also, there is something rolling around inside the passenger door. Other than that it's pretty nice. Just bought it at 110K. Hope it lasts.

nice video

The Toyota Camry became the #1 selling car in 1997 because they are very reliable, well built sedans

Great car driving 22 jaar with those

非常棒的一台車👍

Solid car

I have a gen 4 1999 Camry V6. Bought it for $1,600 in March of 2017 and still driving it with 250,000 miles on her. Am currently searching for this 5th gen with 120,000 or less miles. I hope I find one!

Love my camry 2.4g 2005.

Love my xle she’s my cream puff I’ll keep her forever

what tint does it have on the windows?

Would this be a good buy 2003 le with 101k miles 2 owners clean carfax and autocheck for 5 k. Oil changes every 3 k miles per carfax. Would this last me a few years?

It's actually a nice car. Lot more features than my 96 Camry. It also has a lot more power. Decent-looking car. What else do you want... I think it's perfect car

Have white 93 v6 xle. Agree with guys below live body style. Only place toyota choked it was wheel choice. Aftermarket has options i found cheap but nice alternative. Pull a part. Got 4 aluminum wheels 6 spoke nissans off 03 altima. Finish was flaking and powder coating is 100 a wheel. Got all 4 for 160 at pull a part. I sanded and painted them a dark metallic gray, looks great on white. Many new white cars gave gray wheels and i liked the look. Paint can chip faster than powder coating but touch up is s breeze on car. For purist i took nissan center caps popped off nissan logo filled holes painted to match wheel then glued on toyota logos. Had a few guys ask when toyota made these wheels lol.

I have the 05. Great car. At 6 foot 5 I fit in it just fine, which is surprising. 200k miles and it runs like it just hit 100k. You feel the road quite a bit, and I would say "well maybe its because it has 200k" but we bought my wife's 2012 with 23k miles and I thought you felt the road more than you should. Kind of nit picky but thats probably my only complaint.

In looking to get my daughter an older Camry for her graduation next year

I had to retire my 1999 v6 Toyota Camry this month because I live in California where they require you pass smog for the registration renewal which it didn't pass. So I wasn't able to afford it so I retired it for $1500 which was great! So Im definitely looking for another Camry but of a newer year from 2002-2005. Camrys are great a long enduring

Got 2002 left 49000 miles just changed the stater pulleys bad maybe 1 cylinder bad vaccum leak all in a month new battery too

I'm buying one tomorrow lol

Fun fact those are actually 06-11 Camry hubcaps

Eye candy

What is a spidometer?.

I went to college with a guy that had one about that same color.

Can i drive this toyota from New Jersey to California?, my camry 2002 have 143000 miles i want drive

Wow

Quiet ride? Those things are noisy as hell.. great, reliability, but definitely not quiet.

My 2003 Camry needs a catalytic converter to be replace in order to pass the smog is going to cost me around 1300 I don’t know what to do it has 210000 miles don’t know if is worthy to fix it

I found one for $1000 it might be my first car hopefully

Any oil consumption issues. I hear those engines have problems with oil consumption ?

You didnt show if its got car seat anchor points !

Lacks style ...are you kidding.....it's smooth and sleek......looks great....

Use the overdrive on and off button on the shifter and gear selector to better manage certain acceleration on the 4 cyl.

Toyota Camry 2002. Is good. 💯🇵🇷👍

Oh okay

like turn on the fog lights, it has no switch 05

Does this car have somewhere I can plug in a Aux cord?

Yeah lexus was even jealous if it

What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting on the 4cyl, there's a clean 06 with 130k miles with all the records of service for 4k but also a nice 2002 Corolla at 140k miles same story for 1k less.. if there isnt that much of a mpg gap I'd get the Camry and be more comfortable and all that , thanks much appreciated

it cannot die

Mine is minty beautiful xle she’s staying she’s my girl

Does it have Aux?

I will sum up best most reliable luxury sedan in price range ever. In 4cyl or 6cyl no car ever was better than this gen camry have 03 335k miles. 3 parts that are non wear items like tires breaks etc failed. All after 250k knock sensor alternator and radiator got rock hole. Beat that with any car 3 times the cost

350,000 MILES on my camry original engine.

Not the top of the line. Highest trim level came with the V6 engine and alloy wheels.

There’s nothing wrong with the Toyota Camry people on RU-vid don’t know what they’re talking about other RU-vid channels Japanese cars are the best Toyota Corolla in Toyota Camry the best selling car nationwide You go to your local car dealer and see if you can find one of two of those cars They are hard to fine

Camry owners: Let's add comments what is your Camry year and mileage. Let's start from me: Camry LE 2006 with 245,000 miles 1.02.2022

05 Camry le

In 2021 the Hyundai Elantra base model ( standard ) is the new most reliable car remark my words .

Huge trunk to move dead bodies, I mean luggage.

it cant be 12 years old if its from 2002 its 18 years old

Ugly car i can say that, second generation much more handsome

Just bought a 2005 xle. 69k on the mileage. Just a beautiful boring sedan.

I just picked up a 03 Camry for 4200$ with 102K Miles as a beater car. So happy with my buy it’ll last forever!
