>I like the XLE Camry and the selling dealer, so as such, this vehicle is on my "short list"! ----- I would also look at a Chevrolet Impala, Honda Accord or a Ford product (if I can find a dealer in my area that I like??????????????)
 
Success and a good dealer are always a good place to start when looking for a new car, so the Camry looks like a suitable replacement for your use. You might also want to look at the models of the new laCrosse by Buick for 2010. It has gotten good reviews from many often critical of GM offerings, including Edmunds. Be sure in any car to drive exactly the model you're interested in; suspension and seats seem to vary model to model. I found what you did about Accord seats in the past. Civic seats that I sat in were better than Accord's and Camry's were much better at fitting my shape and needs.

A lot of people have complained about the seats in the 09 Camry hurting their backs where their old Camry didn't, so investigate wisely.

I don't even know why you're even responding to this "helpman" character. He can't even spell correctly, and his sad sack story is allegedly based on what one man "SAID" (his capitalization). $12,000 to replace an engine on a mere Toyota? On what planet? He's just a spammer, and I'm notifying the hosts.
 
I stand by what I said about Blake also -- I think she's claimed every car she has ever owned to be a lemon, and she's owned different makes. Talk about a gadfly!

"Since this vehicle was new, I have changed the oil and filter at the selling dealer every 2,500 miles. My dealer recommends the B/G - MOA additive to be used in the oil."
 
Since Toyota doesn't recommend any additives for the oil (and modern oil doesn't need any additives, that's just something for the dealer to make money on), it would be interesting to know how that might affect your warranty. Fyi, the oil on my dipstick looks clean after 5000 miles. I think you are just wasting your money with 2500 mile oil change intervals especially since you bought the extended warranty.

My sentiments exactly. I'm sure the service team of the dealership has dollar signs in their eyes when this particular Camry shows up!

Good Morning (Imacmil):
         I just returned from an 800+ mile sales trip. The Camry was outstanding on the highway. I averaged 30+mpg on 87 octane fuel.
 
A NOTE ABOUT THE BG ADDITIVE:
        My selling dealer recommends this oil additive because it prevents thicking of the engine oil under "high temperature driving conditions!" (This sound like "sludge prevention" to me!!!!!!!!!!!) ---- Most of my driving is highway driving at high speeds, except when I get into cities, where as we all know it is bumper to bumper! ---- During this last trip in New York State, I was cruising at 70 mph, and I did this for seven hours one way! The only time I stopped was for fuel & food. I had a chance to hit the casino on route 17E. Yes, the food was great!
        I think we are going to see "sludge issues" hitting the Toyota engines event though the oil change intervals have been lowered to 5,000 miles. Only time will tell!
        Best regards.
                                                                   Dwayne

BG additive = extra profit for the dealer. The owner's manual says no additives are needed. Who knows more about your car than the people who built it?
 
Running your car at highway speeds for extended periods is easier on your engine than other modes. I know I can't convince you, but IMO 2500-mile oil changes are overkill in your case.
