    Since we all have Toyota Tacoma's and/or thinking about getting one on this site... I have a question to ask!?!?

    Does anyone on this site have a 07-09 Camry........ and what are your thoughts on the car? I'm thinking about adding one to the garage... but want some opinions?

    I kinda want to stick to the Toyota, since I love my Taco so much....

    Thanks guys and gals!

    Consumer reports didn't like the new v6 camry.

    I got a 4 cyl rental and it seemed to be pretty decent, but it was no Tacoma!

    I was able to leave some tire behind with the rental I had. The shifter took some getting used to.

    My girlfriend drives an 04 XLE. Damn nice car. I looked at the newer ones when I bought my truck. They look awsome. I have heard that they have some transmission problems, read it somewhere. Not sure if it was specific to a particular engine or not.

    Yeah, Consumer Reports said the v6 was average in terms of reliability for major and minor transmission problems. The 4 cylinder and hybrid models were ranked very highly. Squeaks and rattles was the only poor marking for the Camry's

    i have had two seperate ones from toyota while my truck has been in the shop. i think something was wrong with the first one, but the second one felt much more responsive. both were the 4cyl autos. i was fairly impressed. it wasn't great but at the same time it wasnt bad either. just go test drive a couple and see what you think.
