1995 Toyota Camry User Reviews

Solid Car, But Here Are Some Things To Watch For — With the help of a mechanic I bought this car for 1500 dollars 8 years ago and rebuilt it. The car is engineered like a Russian Submarine - solid, tight tolerances, and nice intelligent touches. The appearance is somewhat ordinary - like a 87 Tauras. The performance is average except the luxurious feel of the car. Here are some informative tips that will give anyone happy motoring if the buy a 92-96 Camry: When you replace the timing belt replace everything around the timing belt- the water pump, the tentioners, pulleys, oil pump seal, etc. Just save youself the headache and get it all done. It will save you big bucks in the long run. If you climb in the car one day and it turns over but will not fire it is 90 percent of the time the distributor with this Camry from 150 to 200 thousand miles. Supressors, capacitors, and coils tend to go bad inside of the distributor. Also, don't forget to change the AM2 fuse.(the fuse box by the battery, 30A fuse). When a part in the distributer goes bad the fuse blows when you turn on the ignition. The wiring to the power locks and windows breaks and shorts.The fuse is under the dash to the right of the steering wheel (Difficult to get to and difficult to replace). You can grab this fuse and wiring harness out of a junk yard to save bucks. Otherwise, if this car is regularly maintaned it is a great reliable point A to point B car. Hope these lessons Ive learned helps someone. Happy Motoring!

95 Camry — Great car overall. Well built, can withstand anything. Big interior, very roomy. Handling and performance are top notch. Never had any problems. Just do regular maintance and it will go on forever. Fun to drift in, well built suspension. Great Car.

It's Pretty Much A Generic Car... — After I started commuting in rush hour traffic, I sold my cavalier and got my mother's car; her 1995 Toyota Camry. After putting around 2000$ of repairs into it, it runs fine for an old car. It doesn't feel like it's aged, but, of course, suffers from problems like any old car. It's very dull to drive, it has "O.K" comfort, O.K performance for daily driving, O.K fuel economy, etc. It's a generic car. It's a bit hard to start during winter with a new battery. I take my Chevette more often. It's my first Japanese car and it's been an O.K experience. The biggest improovement over my past, american cars is on the build quality. The camry doesn't have rattles like my other cars had, the plastics are good quality and well assembled. I haven't noticed any improovement on the reliability side. I've had a bit more problems with the american cars I've owned, but they were always easy to fix and CHEAP! This one costs an arm and a leg to fix, and when something breaks, it's something "big". Yes, it's nice to have a car that doesn't rattle and stuff, but I also paid much more for that car than the other ones. Bottom line: It's far from being a bad car! Gets the job done, runs great etc. but I wouldn't pay that much again for a used car for the little difference it makes on quality and reliability (the value is pretty much the same as the 2004 Cavalier I owned). Update: Car keeps leaking all fluids on the ground and various components broke down in 2012

Japanese Quality — Performance- The car accelerated very quickly, you wouldn't expect it coming but, this car took off at red lights and I left people behind. The braking in this car wasn't exactly good, it took a while for the car to slow down. Handling was sub-par, it has a wide turning circle and sharp turns aren't suggested. Build Quality- The car had only a few flaws. I had to repair a power steering fluid leak and the exhaust manifold. Appearance- Just like most family sedans in the market, it tends to blend in with the crowd. Interior styling isn't anything to brag about. However, it had a lot of great features that many upscale sedans offered. Cost of Ownership- Maintenance was no problem. As long as you take care of the car and do your oil changes, and regular service, you won't encounter trouble. Gas mileage was a pain. My car averaged 17 mpg with a mixture of city and highway driving. I usually drove with the "PWR" button on. It increased gas pedal sensitivity and raised the RPM's. Fun Factor- There's not too much fun involved. The car struggles if you try to push it too hard, it wasn't designed for the track obviously.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

1995 Toyota Camry Le — This car is great for just getting around. Obviously, it can't touch a sports car in terms of performance, but it does what's necessary. I've gotten in a couple fender benders, and each time, it's been relatively unscathed. There is a little oil leak that I've been neglecting , and there are only 2 windshield wiper settings (the 2 fastest), but that's all that's really wrong with it. Interior is very nice. The exterior looks a little on the generic side, but what can you expect?
