Replying to: jasmine5 (Dec 14, 2006 11:53 am) It isn't the newest model or the sportiest looking but it serves it purpose. I long ago got over the phase in life when you feel that you have to have that just released model or the ultra sporty looking vehicle. You bought a quality vehicle that should give you many years of trouble free driving. |

Replying to: jasmine5 (Dec 14, 2006 11:53 am) It's simply the most reliable, inexpensive to own & operate, car out there. My mom has an '05. I drove a '91 in college until 150k miles, then my sister drove it in college to 200k miles. Got rid of it because it had no airbags, but otherwise there was nothing wrong with it. The current model could use a telescoping steering wheel. But as you mentioned, people get used to the driving position. My current car is a 2002 Camry w/ 110k miles, 0 problems. There's a reason why Toyota has the highest perceived quality in the business... because they DO.

Replying to: vincep (Dec 15, 2006 1:50 pm) I might agree with you about reliability, however, Toyota is now the recall king in the industry. Also, with the recent Avalon/Camry transmission issues I have to say they may have taken a step back. Also, you mentioned "quality". The Corolla/Matrix are the noisiest/rattiest vehicles in their segment. That is not quality. They have a feel that lacks refinement.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 16, 2006 1:11 pm) I disagree. I believe the "transmission issues" are overstated and the Camry along with the Honda Accord are still on top of the heap. The Mazda6 has had its fair share of problems as noted in Consumer Reports; only the 4 cylinder is recommended. In my opinion, the Mazda6 used to be the style king of the bunch, but Toyota has delivered on that front also. Kudos to Toyota for addressing the bland criticism and delivering a handsome design. I predict that in spite of the "issues", the Camry will still share the throne with the Accord. As good as the Mazda6 is, it is definitely not in the same ballpark as these major leaguers.

Replying to: autonomous (Dec 18, 2006 5:15 pm) You can disagree, but, there are thousands of posts here at Edmunds that say other wise..... The Mazda6 has had its fair share of problems as noted in Consumer Reports; only the 4 cylinder is recommended Never said it did not. However, the Mazda6 is not part of this discussion. I brought only made reference the Avalon/Camry part in rebuttal to the previous posters remark of Toyota being near perfect.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 19, 2006 9:50 am) Nor is the Camry, Avalon, Accord, etc.... Let's all move on and leave the CamCord and 6 in the Midsize Sedans Discussion Board, shall we?
