[quote=Anonymous]Another Camry owner here.  The car is quite good.  It's quiet, drives smoothly, and has Toyota reliability so you know it will still be on the road when you're dead and your great great great grand kids are driving it and everything thinks they're nuts for not using a solar powered flying car.

Also, maintenance on the car is incredibly cheap.  10,000 mile oil changes, 100,000 mile transmission fluid change, brake pads last 45-50k miles.  The car has electric power steering so there's no pump or power steering fluid to change and therefore no service on it.  It has a timing chain instead of a timing belt and is typically expected to last the life of the engine which means that you never need that replaced (typically a timing belt is replaced at 100k miles and is fairly expensive).  The water pump is accessible under the hood making it cheaper to replace than normal.  The dealership will try to charge you $50 for an air filter change but that's something you can do yourself in 1-2 minutes (both the cabin and engine filter).  They're idiot proof and anyone can do it.  The dealership charges $25/minute labor on this task.  I just buy the filters from the parts department and put them in myself.  Here's two videos on it.
