Brilliant model. Great styling very quiet and comfortable. I have a 2010 with 187000kms. Drives like new. The oil consumption issue was fixed for the 2010 facelift.. ALL cars have issues, you could do a lot worse than a Camry. It is far from a clunker...

The Camry is an awesome car. That’s the exactly why I make these videos, all cars have issues. However, a lot of people go into buying used cars very ill educated, so I’m trying to help inform people so they don’t buy a car with issues already, or if they do, it may be something they can fix themselves.

I've got the 2007 Toyota Camry LE V6 and it is a tank. The V6 is plenty powerful for anything I've ever needed to do and has survived multiple accidents. I am shocked that it hasn't been totaled, but it has maintained the same value since I bought it. I love it enough that I genuinely might replace the transmission when it eventually goes instead of buying a new car. Good car with nearly 190,000 miles that drives like new I have replaced normal things like the power steering pump, water pump, one axle, and the alternator but nothing major. It is the best out of all the cars I have owned

The holes in the pistons behind the oil control ring's get plugged up'. I use valveoline full synthetic 0w-20 . It's a very thin oil, helps free up the blockage. Engine still has good compression, oil burns because it stays in combustion chamber . I change it 3k miles. Oil is cheap engine expensive!

The problem is not that they are clogged but that it is a design flaw and they did not put enough oil return holes so that would not prevent the problem

[@toyotafan1234]

The piston rings on the 2azfe engine wasn’t the problem. The problem was the oil return holes in the piston was getting clogged with carbon build up. I fixed a bunch of these when i worked for an independent shop. I would let the vehicles sit over night with seafoam in the bores which cleaned the return holes from carbon. It worked for me every time. Just remember the change the oil because the oil will be diluted with seafoam and also crank the engine over with the spark plugs out so whatever excess seafoam is in the cylinders will get blown out. I usually put a shop rag over the cylinders so seafoam doesnt go everywhere. Also i find that changing the oil every 3-3.5k and using quality fuel will keep carbon away froM the oil return holes in the pistons.

[@BradBrother]

Thanks for sharing the info!!! I love seafoam. Works like a charm

[@Odamate]

I assume it's cause the oil return holes aren't big enough? Think maybe drilling a couple extra holes or making the current holes bigger would solve the issue? Even though it wouldn't make since cause you can just buy new pistons, it shouldn't do any harm right? Piston weight would be off, but would it matter in this case?

[@toyotafan1234]

@@Odamate yes the oil return holes were too small. If i did a rebuild i would fit the new updated pistons and have the engine rebalanced at a machine shop. A tiny bit of weight or lack of weight will make a big difference with engine harmonics. Maybe someone can weigh the old pistons vs new and see if the weight is different

[@hannamontana6182]

Enjoy your ford trash heap. You think you have paid a lot in repairs now just open your pocket book now and budget $500/month for repairs. Any American car is noting but plastic trash on wheels and what little steel they have it's all rusted around the wheel wells in less than 1 year of owning them. At least in the cold midwest anyway. Rust is a GREAT COLOR for those vehicles.

[@oibal60]

I've a 2011 2.4L. 53,000 miles. No rust, no driveability issues. Doesn't use any oil. (I do my own oil/filter changes.) I get 35mpg, even driving 70mph. The top dash did become sticky. I did replace all 4 'weeping' shock absorbers at 45,000 miles. The paintwork (white) is still great.

@@oibal60 thanks. Does the light come on because the oil gets low, or just because of distance travelled since service? I'm glad to hear you've found the camry to be great. I'm quite worried now as I never had any issue with oil in my 2004 Kia, and the oil was only changed about every 9k miles . I'm thinking about losing my deposit and not getting it after seeing so many people say they have to add oil often. The service history of the car I'm buying is ok, but not perfect. It doesn't look like they changed the oil every 5k miles.

Lets start, bought My 07 Camry XLE 4CYLINDER LAST YEAR 2020 with 125k miles. So far ive had to change the valve cover gasket, spark plugs, radiator, and i have p0171 code bank 1 running to lean. Oh and on top of that engine is burning oil, topping it off about every 3 weeks

[@sirsmokeye1724]

@Stasis Field Im on the same boat, not sure if its running to lean or rich. According to google Check engine code p0171 says “bank 1 running too lean. Performance wise it runs just fine. Its a start up issue thats been the problem. When the car has been on for a few hours & has been turned about 4-5 times within 2-3 hours, it does not want to start up, & if it does and has strong rumble and then goes away. (Its not the starter according to a mechanic.) If anyone has any idea what else could be the issue that would be awesome!

This review is absolutely ridiculous! I'm a proud owner of a 2011 Toyota Camry XLE V6 engine. Mileage is 106,000 miles. I have had 2 door lock actuators need to be replaced and that is it in 11 years. To have those go bad is very unusual for a Toyota Camry to have. I do ALL the required maintenance that is in the owner's manual. Regular scheduled oil changes at 5,000 miles when it was newer and now at 3,000 miles. At the appropriate mileage I have DRAINED not flushed the transmission fluid twice now, changed the coolant fluid, and I have had no other issues. Toyota Camry's are a cheap car when it comes to overall ownership of the vehicle and if you do what they recommend you will have very little issues. I would LOVE to buy American cars however they make shit vehicles in RUST colors only! If looking for a real honest car reviews go to Scotty Kilmer who is a car mechanic!

Expressing issues that people should be aware about before pulling the trigger is not lying. Just because the car is very reliable does not mean it has zero issues. Every car has issues.
