2008 Toyota Camry Review - Kelley Blue Book

[@HuntaKiller91]

Im here in 2019,and i plan to buy this car because of it's everlasting looks

[@vampluv120]

I just bought a 2008. Literally the best car ive ever driven

[@dexterm1285]

@@vampluv120 Our 08 has 208k miles they last well with care.

[@iansalois1839]

Ok that gives me some relief. Alot of bad talk about 08 Camry and I just bought one with 146k miles. Im.poor and in college i really need this car to last two years atleast. Have any of you had any problems ?

[@CeeZee001]

@@iansalois1839 you'll be alright, i have 215k on my 08 Camry SE and i just do the oil changes at 3k or 5k (ill add oil) the oil consumption is true but i just passed emissions so my catalytic coverter hasnt gone out. Rest your mind because the 4 cylinder version has a timing chain so you really dont need to change that. Ive had problems as far as wear and tear like worn out spark plugs and usual maintenance stuff but for the first two years i owned it, no problems. i still feel like it runs good. plus even this generation (which is called the worst generation) is still miles better than other cars. Toyota is reliable

[@DylanGarciaaa]

I bought a 2009 XLE. Beautiful interior but I swapped it to look like a 2011, new headlights and an SE Rear bumper. Also ordered a widebody kit and coil overs

[@CeeZee001]

215K miles on my 2008 Camry SE and man i love the way it looks with the trunk spoiler and front fog light lip, it has had cosmetic issues but otherwise reliable, had to get a new ac compressor but thats the most major thing ive had to do. I bought mine for 3.5 at 168k. Still love it. Going Lexus for my next car but would take another Camry of the same year if it was low mileage and the same trim right away.

[@robertwilliams5618]

Hiw many miles now?

[@jennymason6917]

Picking up a used one tomorrow and that little 4 cylinder gets up... I'm impressed!

[@mattwilmott4454]

So many after market mods to make it your own, i put 10" touch screen beat box with everything, K&N air filter customised R1 titanium muffler 18 x 8 rims. Sweet.

[@beatlespersun]

This is a great car! I used to hate Toyota. I thought they were junk, boring, & had no idea why anyone would want one Then just today, my grandparents came to visit from FL & rented a 2011 Camry XLE. Me & the grandparents hoped in for the 1st time. It was comfortable, the back seats had lots of space, & overall was great. Thanks Toyota, you just turned a die hard Ford guy to Toyota's. I guess seeing is truly believing

[@joshy1515]

I love my camry. I have a 09 Camry SE with the sport package and I love it. If you buy one get the JBL stereo its great.

[@elinebin1103]

As you may know, some LED lights for vehicles are polarity sensitive depending on which light you are replacing. In this case, the low beam bulbs for my 2008 Toyota Camry. The lights work fine when plugged in the correct way but unfortunately due to the design of the plug on the standard H11 light when plugged in to the vehicle connector so the lights work the connector does not lock in place. The plug on the standard H11 light is oval-shaped. On one side of the oval, the lock tab is located right at the very end of the connector. On the other side there is an identical tab that is located farther down the connect from the end. The farther one locks properly but when plugged in this way the lights don’t work. If the tabs on both sides in the same position, the position farther from the end, there wouldn’t be a problem. After consulting KASLIGHT customers' service, i bought a pair H11 led headlight bulbs specially designed for 08-18 Toyota Camry, link is www.amazon.com/dp/B07D6JKFQQ, problem is perfectly solved. any one who suffered from same problem with me can take for reference

[@94navin]

do you know why the get so much sales because of the loyalty customer.They buy a toyota have no problem so simply go back again and then they tell there friends and family.If the camry has so much complaint do you think the owner would go an buy back another one?You dont buy back a car that gives you trouble.

[@ZaveskyBay]

15 years later, you still see these on the road! Considering on buying a used one or the 2012-2014 model years.

[@Aliendear]

My friend has a 2003 Toyota Camry, and it has YET to be in the shop. It still drives and runs like brand new. And the V-6 24 valve he has, still runs perfect. It still turns on a dime, and accelerates nicely. I assume the aluminum block is the reason the engine is still running smoothly. The quality is excellent. There is no rust on this car either. I have noticed the toyotas have clearer & better paint. That does not fade or scratch.

[@Mikevdog]

Like the room and comfort of my 2009 Camry LE since I put in a lot of highway miles. I am not interested is sportiness--just cruising, so it suits me and gets me down the road in comfort. I would like to have the tilting side mirrors for backing up since visibility is a bit limited for backing up due to high side windows

[@Xjsc90X]

@globalk100 that's because the new sonata was introduced three years later. the camry has only gone through mild refresh cycles since then.

[@alexballantine3973]

Be sure not to leave it out in the sun for more than an hour because the padded material on the dash will melt. Trust me.

[@jennymason6917]

Alex, I noticed that and the fella selling the car said there was a recall on the dash :) Btw, thank you!

[@droy7101]

this didnt happen with my camry xle v6. but the car alarm starts going on when i leave the car in sun for long. 😭

The tuarus doesn't have any japanese design elements, its a big american car. what japanese(toyota) car do you think it looks like?

[@rosepena9707]

OK Mike and we were not going to drive and is not stuck the shift is not stuck so what should I do

[@columbuscrewfan20]

People say the Camry looks boring but I disagree I think it looks good n the SE looks very sporty. It push button start standard on LE, XLE, n hybrid?

[@atunushakelly1743]

Please how can I get one

[@TheTechCguy]

Performance-wise, an equivalent gen BMW 3 series would easily still beat this. But the one thing that Toyota still brings is affordability with reliability! Something BMW can never master.

[@anthonygarcia3922]

affordability and reliability is all that really matters, so i dont understand in what exactly does the bmw win so easily?

[@MaiLex20]

Any experience from shorter drivers, like 5ft 1in or under? I fell in love with the 9th & 10th gen Corollas, but since I'm mostly gonna be highway driving it seems Camry's the way to go. Opinions from experienced Corolla drivers of those gens are appreciated greatly too. Note: Btw, I'm a single female so I'm not concerned about space for kids (any time soon)😁Thanks

Ok the 2011 Sonata is super nice but how reliable is the Hyundai Sonata? They used to be so bad that they increased their warranties says Wiki. But Hyundai has stepped up to more quality. I'm just worried about Engine/transmission, mechanical,electrical problems for Hyundai.

[@ahmedjaf2010]

All, kindly allow me to say that as far as I am concerned the toyota camry the the best sedan car ever made and likely to be made. No offense for those who disagree!

[@SubwayAddictor]

My father bought a 1991 Toyota Camry Today. It works great. Just need some new tires and that's it. 194,000 miles. He also has a 1992 Corolla, which is also very smooth, about 114,000 miles. No Problems at all. Heck, I saw a Ford Focus today, (About 2006-08 model) and it had problems with its battery. Toyotas never have this problem. My father owned a 2002 Ford Escort. We went to NY and back. On the return trip, the car need a battery recharge. Our Toyota Corolla, did the same, NO Problems.

Looks Great! Great work Reliability is what I look for!

the 2007-present Toyota Camry is assembled in Australia: Altona, Victoria Japan: Toyota, Aichi Russia: Saint Petersburg United States: Georgetown, Kentucky Lafayette, Indiana

[@static_Tricolor_camry]

I got stuck with the base model I guess it's not worth much like the SE models I wish I had an SE model with the manual Transmission and ground effects kits all around I'm planning on boosting mine I wanna start off with performance mods first then Exterior mods like Rims coilovers the ground effects package special ordered from the Toyota dealership I'm getting my exhaust done with straight pipe a Y split pipe and 2 dual slant tip mufflers at the end resonator delete later on in the future I'll probably get another 07-09 Camry the SE model with the manual transmission it must have the ground effect kit to look complete I really like the 6th Generation Camrys

[@TheyCallMeBigRed6]

if there is any car i recommend to keep your eye on or buy would definitely be the 2009-2010 chevrolet malibu, due to its old body style it is not very liked by people, buy the newer versions(2009-2010) are very comfortable and nice sleek looking car, there are multiple options in the malibu that are very nice, it would definitely be a car that someone that needs a safe reliable car would want, also its made in america so when in need for a new part, you wont have to pay like the foreign cars

[@GaemerJosh]

Found an 09 se with 80k original miles. Think I'm going to snag it up after seeing this

[@youmils03swagger]

Definitely. Both Toyotas and Hondas are such reliable cars due to all of their safety features.. I'm not REAL sure about the Camry in particular, but I'd assume that the Camry has equal safety to any other Toyota.

[@justahyundai]

@TheVideo5094 The 'fun to drive' thing probably does exist, but only for the professional drivers. Suspension, Engine power, steering and weight distribution all are factors in driver experiences. For instance, it's more fun to drive, say, a Porsche, than a Corolla, because the Porsche is more powerful, has sportier suspension, and the chassis is lower. I think the Camry is a pretty good car, but I believe too many people are underestimating Hyundai.

[@DadSteve]

Where is the Camry Hybrid model? That is the one I have and I LOVE IT!

[@Tophairybutt]

The Camry, even in the base model, is extremely high quality and pure luxury. The Honda Accord, also a great car, would be my second choice...only because of its past being plagued with automatic transmission problems. The Ford Fusion, forget about that junk. The car is built in Mexico with slave labor paying $3 dollars per hour, and the lack of quality shows. So there you have it.

[@rosepena9707]

Everybody tells me to change the transmission oil

[@TheVideo5094]

@epicfail86 like an Audi?

[@Mikevdog]

I had a Vic and really enjoyed it. COMFORT!

[@justahyundai]

@TheVideo5094 faulty as in tends to break down more than it did before. The designs are fine, I personally like the ES, but there are more strange problems with Lexus cars, especially the RX series.

[@MacPowerBook]

I love the people how say people should by cars from GM or Chrysler since it is made in America. I went to a local Toyota dealership and every single Camry on the lot was made in America. Not even one was from Japan. It was the same with the Highlanders, Siennas, Venzas, and Tundras. The Corolla's on the lot were either made in America or Canada. If you don't like the car, then don't go watching the videos on it and posting hate comments about it.

[@94navin]

yea but that doesn't stop it from beating all midsize sedan out there.If you have a buisness which would you care for customer loyalty or what reviwer say about your products.Also if it was your buisness what would you do put a outdated but strong interior and get the same profits or make a fancy interior that wont last and make less profits. furthermore the v6 can get to 60 in as little as 5.8 sec

[@Mikevdog]

I recently rented a Chevy Cobalt for a business trip. It convinced me how great my Camry really is. The Chevy did have a good radio though. Hmmmmm.

[@havingyarr]

So 12 years in hindsight, which did you prefer

[@roughryder5]

I have this exact car in black...Going to go pick it up in 2 days :D

[@justahyundai]

@TheVideo5094 Your taste is still in the early 2000's then. You seem to like the more organized, simple and conventional designs, which is why you like the Malibu and the Camry's designs. The layout is composed of squares and rectangles (not an insult, t'is the truth), while the Hyundai looks more futuristic. I still say that the layout of the Hyundai feels higher class, along with the Elantra/

[@ikawpipa]

Thanks for the info., I already know everything about the car. All I need now is the money to purchase it.

[@Mikevdog]

Must be that Delco thing, I don't know., but it was nicer than the standard Camry sound system even though the quality was somewhat lost due to the high road noise.

Man i just bought a 08 toyota Camry LE, and ive been noticing reviews about how it burns up oil and not to buy camrys from years 06-09. Idk I need this car to get me through the next two years someone please give me some relief or advice if you could at all

[@CeeZee001]

im at 215k and it does burn oil but id say just to move up to 5w20 if you have a 4 cyclinder instead of the recommended 0w20. otherwise i would say to just watch the oil levels and add some when it needs it. Oil consumption is bad on mine id say i lose about 2-3 quarts every 5k oil change but like i said just add oil every other biweek. Ive done so and its never given me issues, plus i just passed emissions so the catalytic hasnt gone out. Youll be fine my guy. a couple buck on extra quart of oil sounds bad but not really considering gas prices are down. id still buy another camry if it had lower miles just at the right price.

[@iansalois1839]

@@CeeZee001 thanks man, I appreciate your input foreal

[@HULKZombie]

Lol just to let ya know one of the big guys from toyota is now heading some of the ford stuff thats why the fusion is so nice...why do u think they all the sudden had way better reliability and quality ratings?

[@beatlespersun]

@hhforprogress Yea I know. The thing that swayed us to the Fusion was trying to buy American. I totally wish we had the chance to look at a Camry before seeing the Fusion

[@losaltoseu]

@NilesMaelstrom There are some Honda models that have more parts made in America than some of companies from Detroit. You do know that Honda and Toyota have many companies, assembly lines, factories, parts factories, stores, etc in the United States that hire Americans and pay taxes. In the meantime, GM is there taking our tax money for the failed business model. I'd personally go for a Ford Fusion over a Camry, but I'm tired of people saying it's an American duty to buy 'American Cars.'

[@justahyundai]

@TheVideo5094 Oh yes, I meant really that Lexus is having more troubles than before ever since Toyota got mixed up with them, they are still a good brand. But I gotta say, I've had the privilege of driving a 2003 Mercedes-Benz C240 4Matic, and the car was without doubt the best of all I've been in. FTR, I've been in a Chrysler Sebring (not bad), the C240 and the 2007 Sonata (pretty good).

i understand,try Altima.Its unique.

[@eighthof8]

I move cars for Hertz, so I get to drive cars of all makes. Sounds like Kelly is a little biased when it comes to the Camry. The truth is the Fusion is every bit as good, if not better than the Camry or Accord. The Camry is getting so big, it feels uncomfortable when manuvering through traffic. The Fusion has much better seating, and has less vibration and harshness. Before you plunk down the cash for a foreign car give the Fusion a chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised, I was!

the rear arm rest kinda,u know,too small

@epicfail86 Your absolutely right, i like more conservative yet stylish designs. I do think the Sonata is nice,but I don't get why people bash Camry. they claim Toyota has no sports cars( Scion TC, Ft86,Fr-s). They claim it is boring,yet styling is a matter of taste. They claim it isn't fun to drive,when all cars do the same thing.

[@clunkerboy1]

@jamespark96 you got hurt with the word JUNK? lol

[@justahyundai]

@TheVideo5094 Not at all... Even if the general layout looks similar (which it doesn't really), the Camry's interior doesn't emit high quality, luxury, or sophistication. The interior has 'cheap and minivan console' written all over it. Just try looking at the interior of the 2011 Sonata and then compare with the Camry. Seriously, don't be biased, just compare them.

[@shwanshen]

try Malibu 2010

[@japnikki]

Yes Camry is best selling in Mexico and Japan and Canada

[@pattycarljackson]

@clunkerboy1 the sad part is that you might not know is that hyundai gave free cars to some people who had a car that had excelleration problems to and hyundai was giving 1,000 to peopl ewho bought a new hyundai and gave them their toyota.

@yehzhaofeng Ford Fusion over Camry? As an owner of a 2010 Fusion...meh. Its alright, but compared to the Camry, it has less interior room, the pick up sucks, & the city mileage could be better. It has cool stuff like SYNC, but Camry offers a similar thing too. Anyway, Fusions are made in Mexico, while Camry's are made here in America. A real "American Duty" would be to buy something made here, not the "American" nameplate
