Any comments on this ride?

Performance, reliability, economy?

Scores high on all three categories - hey it's one of the best (if not the best) selling midsized cars in the states. Are you getting one? how much?

plan pa lang sir... negotiating for trade

we have one. ride is excellent, very soft and comfty. driving it is very easy, malambot or magaang gamitin. great car, worth buying talaga.

the 2.2 camry is the very reason why I told myself "I am not buying anything less than a camry anymore". perfect ride, very responsive, powerful, and comfortable at the same time. screw the "mukhang tatay" look, id go for performance than looks anytime.

Mga pare, new member ako. Very satisfied din ako sa performance ng camry ko. Except na may problema lang ako sa power steering. May humming sound at kung minsan ay may garalgal lalo na kung paatras at nagmamaneobra. Nagpalit na ako ng steering pressure hose pero lalong lumama ang pagtunog nya. May nag advise sa kin na palitan ko daw ng original steering hose. Ang mahal kasi - P9,800 + kabit. Paki advice naman naman lalo na sa naka experience na ng same problem. Ty

bumabawas pa ba yung power steering fluid? baka yung pump mismo ang may tagas. usually may mga repair kit para dyan. papalitan lang ang mga gasket.

kung wala namang tagas, baka nagkahangin sa loob ng system. ipableed mo para mawala.

It's the hose. Replacement hoses usually have a small inner diameter that makes them noisier than stock hoses. The only way to get rid of the sound, honestly, is to cough up the money for a new hose.

Shouldn't be dangerous to keep using the replacement hose. My Dad's XTO has had a noisy replacement hose for the past three years, no problems.

The Camry. This machine just seems to be indestructible. Performance and reliability in one car. Someone even claimed that after changing with k&n filters, he was able to achieve 12kms/L or better with the later vvti model. Thats really interesting plus the HP gains you get too. I'd definitely get one and put some add ons for a sportier look.

What I like about this car is rareity. You only see few of these cars on the street and that what makes you exclusive. I saw one selling it for 200k months ago. Its worth it!

TRD has a supercharger kit for this Camry generation. I remember a supercharged Camry running around Makati some years back. Sleeper of a car if you ask me.

Actually, kahit walang tagas eh nagpalit pa rin ako ng pump repair kit. Pero hindi rin nawala ang problema. Nong magpunta sa USA ang kakilala ko eh nagpabili ako ng pump (mura lang binayaran ko, P1800 lang) kaya napalitan din ang pump nito pero unfortunately eh di rin nawala ang tunog nya. Ngayon ko lang nadinig ang idea ng bleeding. Papagawa ko sa petron. Thank u sa advise nyo (esp. coiter & niky).
