2008 Toyota Camry LE V6 Reviews

I love the power in this car - plenty of it that just keeps coming when you press the accellerator hard. I don't really know why some people keep saying it's a boring car. Sure the 4-cyl might be boring but this V6 is always fun to drive. Build quality is great, BUT the interior paneling's new design (sharp edges) causes bad fit all over the place. The transmission does this funny thing that early 2007's did - it slips from 2-3 (rpm jumps 200-600) but only when accelarating very slightly, like in traffic. Dealer couldn't duplicate it and said this 2008 already has the newest firmware and that they can't see why it would do it. Also, downshifts are sometimes hard, but only when one hesitates when suddenly accelarating and then backing off again. 4420 miles driven in 4 months. Gas mileage varies a lot - when doing mostly city driving I get 19 mpg and when mostly freeway I get 27-28 mpg.

Nice Braking, acceleration good, not a sports car but it gets the job done.
