The 2003 Toyota Camry was only the second model following Toyota's complete redesign of the model in 2002. For 2003, Toyota introduced more standard equipment, including remote keyless entry for all trim levels and fog lights and a six-disc CD changer for the XLE model. Toyota also made available more options for the 2003 Camry, making it extremely customizable. Like the Camrys before it, the 2003 Toyota Camry is conservatively styled, meant for wide appeal. It has a roomy interior with user-friendly controls, a large trunk, comfortable seats and a smooth, unobtrusive ride.
The 2003 Toyota Camry is available in LE, SE and XLE trim levels. The LE model, though the base model, still comes with air conditioning and power windows, mirrors and locks. The sporty SE model has crisper handling, interior trim with a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel and a spoiler. The XLE offers high-end features like power seats, automatic air conditioning, a cargo net and rear sunshade. The 2003 Camry comes standard with a 2.4 liter, four cylinder engine, but a 3.0 liter, V6 engine is available for all trims. When it comes to fuel economy, the 2003 Toyota Camry averages about 27 mpg.
Typical of the Camry, the 2003 Toyota Camry has a legion of devoted drivers. While its styling and driving has been described as "boring," it seems that many drivers are not looking for excitement when it comes to their daily commutes. Many drivers suggest an upgrade on the tires, and some complain about paint chipping.
