1996 Toyota Camry 4 Dr LE V6 Sedan Reviews

I bought my 1996 camry LE with the 6 cyl engine brand new.  it has 220,000 miles. get 28 miles in mixed driving, and 30+ on highway.   I change the oil myself and it does not burn a drop of oil in the 3,333 mile oil change interval.  original engine and transmission.  i want to see if it'll last till 350,000 miles.  It's been a great car, very much like the 1987 celica I owned for 12 years and traded with 142,000 miles, a trade I still regret.  

Its appearance belies its performance--with the V6, the Camry is quick off the line and sounds great. The electronically-controlled four-speed is easily the best automatic I've ever had the pleasure to use.  Handled reasonably well.  Four-wheel discs are great; not having ABS was often exciting. Good, clean design, looks great in white and even better in black, and it was often mistaken for a Lexus.  The '96 V6 specifically has front axle issues, and a leaking steering rack was replaced, which is perfectly understandable at 120000 miles.  Fuel economy was around 19 mpg in the city, and this is under very hard driving.  Extraordinarily comfortable, as well.  VERY solid car; only a manual transmission could have made it better!

ok, this car's coolant tub SUCKS, it deteriorate way to fast, ...mostly sound proof-> better than honda models up to 2005, the shift grid sucks, every time i go into 3rd gear i have trouble notching it in because it always hits the solid bar between 1st and 3rd, smooth rider i suppose, dont like the look but then again that because this was made about 12 years ago...

I have not had it long to give it a full review. We do in the near future.
