The XV30 was produced from mid-2001 to 2006. It attracted buyers with reliability, comfort, good equipment and solidity. The European consumer did not appreciate the advantages of this model, preferring Toyota Avensis to it. In North America, Japan and the CIS countries, thirty has become a real bestseller. In our country, the thirtieth body, despite its considerable age, is still an attractive car worthy of attention.

Thirty after restyling
Appearance is the personification of American automotive design of those years, which was characterized by smooth lines, rounded shapes and the presence of chrome on the grille. The appearance of the 5th generation is fully consistent with the philosophy of a comfortable, solid business class car. The body compared to the previous generation (XV 20) has significantly increased in size: in length by 50 mm, in height by 70 mm, and in width by 10 mm.
The Camry in the 30th body is made of excellent metal: even if the car is all covered with small chips, you are unlikely to find rust on it.
The only place where "bugs" can appear is the trunk lid near the chrome trim. In 2005, the car underwent a minor restyling: the radiator grille and front bumper changed, other headlights and taillights began to be installed.
Salon XV 30
The internal space in the Camry 30 is quite enough for a comfortable location of 5 people. The interior can be trimmed with velor or leather, depending on the configuration, the materials are wear-resistant. The seats are made in the American style, they are soft without obvious lateral support, the driver and front passenger have the opportunity to adjust the lumbar cushion. To maintain comfort in the cabin in any weather will help heated front seats and climate control. When designing, a lot of attention was paid to safety. The basic set of options included the following systems: 4 airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, an additional brake light, anti-lock system (ABS), brake force distribution (EBD), brake assist system (BAS).

Engines and transmissions
In the European market, 30 was equipped with two gasoline engines: a four-cylinder 2.4 2AZ-FE with a VVT-I intake system and a V6 3.0 1MZ-FE. In the American market, it was possible to buy a car with a 3.3 3MZ-FE engine.
Engine 2.4 2AZ
The 2.4 power unit has a timing chain drive, the chain is reliable, it will not need to be replaced before 300 thousand km. Thanks to the use of the variable intake valve clearance system (VVT-I), the engine pulls even at low speeds, which makes it pleasant to use in urban conditions.
In V6 3.0, the gas distribution mechanism is driven by a belt, which must be replaced at least once every 150 thousand km and only together with rollers.
There are no questions about the reliability of the Thirty's power units; with proper and timely maintenance, they will travel 300,000 km or more. But do not think that they will not require attention at all.
If the quality of the fuel is poor, the candles will have to be changed every 20 thousand km, and the oxygen sensors will also need to be replaced. The motor troit with good spark plugs, the throttle valve needs to be cleaned.
On the 5th generation Toyota Camry in Russia, a 5-speed manual gearbox with a 2.4-liter engine and automatic transmission in the 4th stage with both engines were installed. American versions also had an adaptive five-speed automatic. To break these transmissions, you need to try, problems will arise by 200 thousand km, if they are not serviced at all. Change the oil every 50 thousand km and there will be no failures in the operation of the gearbox.
Suspension
The creators of the 2002 Toyota Camry did not try to find a compromise between handling and comfort. They relied on a soft energy-intensive suspension, the car does not drive, but floats along the road without noticing potholes and bumps. The downside is body roll even when rebuilding, not to mention sharp turns, and nose pecking when braking.
In addition to impressiveness, the XV 30 suspension is also known for its legendary reliability.
Stabilizer bushings cover at least 40 thousand km with a heavy V6 engine and more than a hundred with a four-cylinder. Ball bearings and silent blocks of the front levers will serve 200 thousand km.
The bushings of the rear longitudinal rods will travel a thousand 150 km, and the transverse ones even longer.

What difficulties might the current owner face?
Chrome grille is not durable, he does not like salt and reagents. Over time, on Toyota Camry 2001-2006. produced for the American market, headlights become cloudy. This problem is solved by replacing the plastic protection with glass from the "European" thirty. The electric drives of the antenna and folding mirrors fail, cleaning the mechanisms will not help for long.
Power windows often break, the mechanism only changes completely. The air conditioner has been on for some time, but it is still hot - the fan, or rather its relay, has failed. Age and difficult conditions of use of the car will lead to radiator leaks, to delay this failure, wash the radiator once a year and change the antifreeze every 30 thousand km.
The front brake discs can easily lead when driving through puddles after hard braking, they often have to be changed every 30 thousand km. At each replacement of the pads, clean and lubricate the caliper guides, if this is not done, the mechanism may wedge.

Comparison with competitors
The main rivals of the Camry 2004 at the moment will be the Japanese sedans Mazda 6 first generation (GG), Honda Accord (CL) and Ford Mondeo third generation. The advantage of these cars is that they are in the station wagon. They will also handle much better than the Toyota Camry 30, but none of them will give you such a smooth and soft ride. Comparison of exteriors is redundant: taste and color… The attractiveness of interiors at the moment is more envy of the state than of the original appearance.
Leather interior Camry 30
The reliability of the three Japanese cars is comparable, the outsider in this regard will be Ford. Many different engines were installed on the Mondeo, but two 1.8 and 2 liter gasoline engines that he got from Mazda are unpretentious. Toyota's indisputable advantage is its status, Mazda and Honda of those years are associated with sports, drive. They are favored by street riders and have often been modified to be more aggressive.
Owner reviews
Camry 30 2.4 (2001-2005) 2
I've been driving Toyotas for 5 years now. In my opinion one of the best brands on the market. There were right-hand drive and left-hand drive Camry, Vista, Kaldina, Hayes bus, etc. I've been driving this Camry since May 2003. The car is balanced. There is enough power, but not at the expense of smoothness and consumption. Awesome soundproofing! Reliable and transparent brakes. Handling is good, but there is some "roll". The air con and stove are top notch as are the heated seats. All this is familiar and works well (as on all Toyotas). I really liked the control algorithm and the sound of the head unit with 6 discs.
Mileage at the end of February 2005 50,000 km.
Minuses:
1. No traction control. I had such a system on my Toyota Vista. You can always start off the ice or uphill without problems and slippage.
2. There is no radio control on the steering wheel (although I heard this has already been decided in the restyled model).
3. If you take the car from the parking lot at a temperature of -18C and below, then there is an unmotivated knock in the front suspension. At the service station they said that everyone has it and they don’t know what to do! I am inclined to believe that 4 more friends have the same car and everyone has this problem. The knock goes away after 5-7 minutes. ride.
4. Close the trunk without getting dirty, this is a serious task!!! There is no inside handle, no hinge, and the lid is all dirty.
5. I have 10 years of daily driving experience, but I'm still not used to the dimensions of the car. So the tronic park should be put in a good way both on the bow and on the stern.
6. I operate the car in harsh conditions and I would very much welcome the presence of heated seats for the rear passengers. Especially in my car which has a leather interior. In winter, cold skin is very uncomfortable.
Repair and tuning:
From dop.ustanovok xenon kits for dipped beam and parking sensors on the back. I just really like the light, although if there is no money, there is no special need (the standard light is quite acceptable). A park tronic is a must!
Regular maintenance after 10,000 km. I fit into the amount of about 270-300 dollars. (Oil, filters, pads)
About 45,000 km of run changed the rubber bands of the stabilizers front and rear and the right ball joint (there was a slight backlash).
The racks behave surprisingly well (we don’t have a fountain of roads), they are all dry and work out perfectly.
CONCLUSION: if you need a reliable and comfortable car for both family and business trips, and in order to press down on the highway (speed 200-210 is excellent and quiet and comfortable in the cabin, then you need to take a Camry!
I’ve been driving a car since the end of April last year. I regret that I didn’t wait for September and didn’t take a restyled car, it’s a little nicer inside (the instrument panel, like in Avensis, “lights up” with the turn of the key, the rear-view mirror is automatically dimmed, radio control on the steering wheel and , finally, they put 16 "wheels on the 2.4 engine)! The complete set of my car-R2 for the 2.4 engine is the most complete. In principle, I am very pleased with the car! Excellent Japanese assembly, reliable and economical engine, due to the VVTI system very elastic (before that there was a 98 CAMRY, so with a 2.2 engine it “ate” much more and drove worse), the “automatic” works very softly and predictably!
The suspension works very well. I don’t notice the pits that I used to go around - now I just don’t notice, but because of the soft suspension, the turns go worse, the body rolls, although if you don’t scorch, then it copes quite well!
I liked the work of the climate, but if there was a “twist” instead of a temperature adjustment key, it would probably be more convenient!
On the highway, the car is constantly floating! Very nice to go! Often you get carried away and the speedometer needle rises to 180-200 (and this is far from the limit)! You don’t notice the speed, but common sense still makes you take your foot off the gas pedal and drop the speed to 140-160 (I usually drive around the highway at this speed).
It is also convenient to drive around the city. High ground clearance, high seating position, soft suspension, good visibility...
My wife also really likes to drive and the size does not scare her at all!
Parking sensors were installed on my car from the factory, but this did not stop me from repainting both bumpers. The parking sensors system is very primitive (in my opinion).
Now for the bad...
A car of a lower class (Avensis) is "stuffed much cooler and more modern than the Camry, both in terms of safety and interior decoration, and the music is more serious there, and many different small pleasant things! They don't put xenon on the Camry from the factory. Not even on the list additional equipment, but it would not be bad!
Now 15 "wheels, in my opinion, are put only on Camry (from this class).
Pathetic imitation under the tree does not look nice in the cabin and scratches at any opportunity ...
Immediately after buying the car, I had to replace the equipment. I installed a good CD player, amplifier and acoustics. Everything came out at 1500 USD. From the factory, the equipment is very mediocre, although the dealer said that it costs about 2500 USD. Probably cheated.
Very noisy wheels. There is no noise insulation at all either on the doors, or on the arches, or under the seats ...
The memory of the driver's seat would not hurt at all!
Very large comfortable trunk! I got used to closing it with a lock. Very convenient.
In general, I really like the car! We became friends with her this year! She has never let me down, although it's too early to talk about it (the mileage is 20,000 km.), But I hope it will continue! Its driving performance suits me very well, a very good engine, not a car, but it’s enough for me! The cost of the car is not big! If I change my car, I would like to get something like that! It’s good if Toyota releases a new CAMRY by this time!
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
I want to say something about your cons about the Camry.
Firstly, Avensis is not stuffed much cooler at all, it is also stuffed, if not worse.
Secondly, on Avensis, the finish is much cheaper.
Thirdly, the music there is identical, only the head is modified. yes, there are buttons on the steering wheel, but sorry, on the Camry too.
Fourthly, xenon is not installed on Avensis from the factory. Do you want to put? In any service 400 ye. 15 wheels on old Camry.
Question! Is the music for 1500 ye much better? I doubt. unless the head is better. there is sound insulation, like on all decent cars. How could it be without it? :) Very decent, did you drive in Opel? Noisy tires, not wheels. The choice was yours. and the pathetic imitation of a tree is not so pathetic. Otherwise, I agree. I have a mileage of 55,000, there were no problems either. And they are unlikely to be. Good luck.
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
Mileage 14,000 I took it in June last year, put xenon dipped, parking sensors (I recommend to all Camry owners), I assume that many experienced slight difficulties when parking. , a slight creak in the front right door (I assume the skin) I didn’t read a single review with serious claims, mostly small wishes, and this pleases. There is only one question, is it possible to buy a new car of another brand in this price range with similar characteristics, your opinion. Hi all.
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
I've only been going for a couple of months. but of course there are impressions. I like it - the car is big, soft suspension, comfortable automatic (and quite frisky), consumption in the region of 12-13 liters (highway 8.5). Many people write about the trunk, but I have it empty. Now about the cons - faceless design (Avensis is much more beautiful), the interior is also rustic, but really functional. I don’t know why they don’t write about the convenience of the driver’s seat - average (very few adjustments), it was even more offensive on the Korean. There is no parking sensors - therefore parking in reverse is simply dangerous (the trunk is not visible) I focus on the antenna. Insufficient soundproofing of the arches (Bridgestone wheels - I don’t know which ones to buy then). 15 "wheels for such a car is clearly not enough (and a replacement for 16" with wheels in the region of 1500-2000ue). Spare parts (thank God so far consumables) wait 14 days from Yomiratov and only the original. But in general, I agree, as everyone here writes, very high-quality consumer goods from Japan (this is not a curse word), but without a twist. But unfortunately for that kind of money you can’t buy another car in the ratio of car / size. Yes, and the service is much cheaper than Audi, BMW and Merc, and you will agree that this is not the last thing
Toyota Camry
For a year and a half, I drove 45 thousand km, the first emotions subsided and you can safely evaluate the car.
Problems and their solution:
Immediately from the passenger compartment, the car was very dumb, ate gasoline immeasurably, after 120 km per hour it scoured the road like a hare, and the engine at high speeds howled disgustingly and strainedly. The run-in really ended at 15 thousand km, everything went off, calmed down, and the yaw was finally eliminated in the right old-fashioned way - I changed my shoes to Michelin.
Japanese technology was not without breakdowns. The antenna drive flew, replaced it. Led the front brake discs, machined. Three low beam bulbs burned out, replaced. The car was made for Scandinavia, so it is impossible to turn off the exterior lighting when the engine is running. It often takes place to explain that riding during the day with light is not a show-off, but rather, laziness to reprogram the electronics. In addition, it does not affect the speed.
And the most unexpected trouble: the windshield, as it were, attracts low-flying gravel. After the fourth destructive hit, it no longer made sense to glue another crack, so the glass was changed. This is despite the fact that over the previous 12 years of driving on different cars from Volyn to Citroen C5, I glued the glass only once.
Some standard problems are missing: nothing knocks, does not creak, does not buggy and does not pull to the side. The engine is insensitive to the quality of gasoline. Whatever you pour, it pulls and starts the same way, although there is a stink from the exhaust, like from a chemical warehouse. Or maybe I'm just lucky.
How it rides.
The suspension is tuned for comfort. In terms of smoothness and softness, it is not inferior to the famous Citroen hydraulics, but unlike the Frenchman, it does not rattle and is almost not penetrated. No road defects are transferred to your favorite seat, but there is also no sporty character.
Cruising speed on a normal road is 130 km per hour. If you go faster, then you need to take the steering wheel with your second hand and strain. Up to a maximum speed of 200 km per hour, it accelerates easily and quickly, but a strong buildup begins. Scary, uncomfortable and adrenaline rush.
By the way, when the speedometer shows 100 km per hour, in reality it is 97 - I checked it on the navigator.
Thanks to a decent clearance, it confidently moves along a humpbacked primer. Where Almera strikes his belly, and the Passat strives to tear off the bumper, the Camry goes without problems even with a load. Which pleasantly surprises me, especially looking at the suspiciously hanging exhaust. Honestly, it doesn't bother me.
The dynamics of the car is quite sufficient for everyday driving. Somehow does not pull "to do" anyone at the crossroads. And these doers bring a smile, good luck to you, jerboas.
Many experts write that the adaptive automatic gearbox on the Camry is outdated. Maybe. But this rarity is perfectly balanced with the engine and the whole machine, here the Japanese are great. The behavior of the machine is predictable, traction is smooth and powerful at any speed. The feel of the car is excellent. When the gas pedal is driven into the floor, there is a pause of half a second and a jerk with indentation into the seat. Especially effective when overtaking. Although, do not press like a pedal, but the back of a Lexus or Mercedes leaving is a common picture. Oh, what am I talking about sad.
This is my first car on the machine, I got used to it for almost two months and not without incident. I especially remember the sensations if you stick the lever into the parking mode on the go, or press the brake with your left foot instead of the clutch. But it passes quickly. Now sometimes you have to sit on cars with mechanics. Then I feel like a person who has to do a lot of useless work, for some reason jerking his arms and legs, solving additional problems, instead of a calm, comfortable ride. No talking on the phone, no ice cream to chew. Annoys. I am not original. The one who traveled on the machine on the mechanics will not spend money.
How it slows down.
Good brakes. Very clear ABS. That suddenly jumped out Golf, which I drove around with the brake pedal fully depressed, before my eyes, as if alive. And on ice, you can safely press the brakes. Even if there is ice on one side and asphalt on the other, the smart brake force distribution system always keeps the car in a straight line. Therefore, technology such as engine braking on ice is much more dangerous than simple braking.
Service.
Unusual schedule. 10k oil change is fine. Air and fuel filters as much as 40 thousand. And candles for 100 thousand. Although the brake fluid and fluid in the gearbox were changed at the same 40 thousand. Service prices are not annoying. When buying a car, there was a dilemma: “white” for 36,000 with a 3-year warranty, or “gray” for 33,000 with a 1-year warranty. I chose the second option, because the Japanese of the original assembly \ not to be confused with the European one, has nothing in common \ does not break into the price difference. I hope I'm not mistaken.
Salon.
Spacious, good soundproofing. Comfort seats are average. Not such, of course, a spin crusher as in Almere, but it’s far from a chic Citroen chair. This is not what I say, but my sciatica. And on the heated seats, which without adjustment, you can fry eggs, convenient for yogis and extreme sportsmen.
The fabric upholstery, initially black with a sparkle, attracts and sucks in all the surrounding dust, and becomes like a lousy matting. Associations with the interior of either a bulldozer or AZLK 2141. Fuss with a vacuum cleaner gives a small and short-term effect. Most likely, normal velor ended in Japan. And judging by the quality of the seams, the upholstery was sewn by blind children.
Music of average quality. According to the Kulibins from electronics, replacing the acoustics does nothing - a weak head.
Jokes: The first is an on-board computer. for a long time I tried to understand what these thin green figures have to do with reality. Understood. None.
The second joke is the light control buttons on the panel on the left under the steering wheel. They are completely invisible behind the wheel, and in order to hit correctly, you need to practically put your head under the steering wheel. Very cool and extreme, especially at night at 130 km per hour.
Camry is a typical Japanese car. The classic appearance of the Cclass business sedan, the flawless operation of all units, and the interior, simple to the primitive. I don't regret the money spent. Every dollar invested in the car works out well. Both due to the positive image of the model, and driving pleasure. I can’t forgive myself until now that I was greedy for one and a half thousand dollars and did not take a leather interior. Colleagues, do not repeat my mistakes.
I have been driving this model for almost 2 years and have no complaints either about the car itself or the quality of the finish. Great car for your money.
But not everything is so smooth, of course. Some little things are missing. For example, to close the trunk, you need to try not to get caught in the dirt, because there is no special gripping handle-pocket, you have to close it either by grabbing the dirty trunk or the lock, which is inconvenient.
There is also not enough memory for the seats and mirrors. If two drivers drive, you have to constantly adjust the seats and mirrors, if there was a memory button it would be just super. Perhaps Optitronic would also be better, but this is already in updated models. Still do not like a simple CD recorder. The most necessary things are there, but no more. There is no Mute button. But, as I was told in Sound Lab, for a head unit and speakers, the sound is just excellent. It's a pity that they didn't make the radio control on the steering wheel as in the updated model.
I note the huge trunk, the largest in its class, about 560 liters. If you expand the rear seats, you get more than 1000 liters.
Another of the minuses, I note the inefficiency of the headlight washer. There are no brushes, so this washer only consumes liquid, and does not wash. By the way, the auto-on of the headlights is also not for me, because I always drive with the headlights on. Why are such options made when in almost all Western countries driving with the lights on is a prerequisite. And also for our driver, who buckles up once out of 100 I would have a beeping device, not a flashing icon. And I would not refuse to protect the engine as standard.
Everything else is excellent and acceleration dynamics, and fuel consumption is low (11.4 liters in winter in the city). MOT will cost about 100 -120 ye. There are also large MOTs of 40,000, for example, it took about 350 ye, a lot of things were changed, filters, oil, etc. I love this car very much. Good luck
I already wrote my review about this model. Passed the first MOT (10,000 km). I changed all the candles (we have such good gasoline) cost me ... I don’t remember)))) In short, 670 rubles. one candle, changed the air filter, oil. Now I go on winter tires (Velcro) FALKEN brought from Japan. There was no possibility to try it. in Krasnodar there is no sub-zero temperature and snow. After the all-season, this rubber is better, because. softer and less noisy. After buying somewhere in 3 months, the driver's seat began to "crack" on bumps. They said something got loose and needs to be welded. Let's wait for a call from the service center. This is probably EVERYTHING
Toyota Camry (2003 onwards)
Well, in general, like this: I had a B6 trade wind and everything seems to be fine. I left for a year and, in principle, was pleased with the car (1.8 t engine accelerated the car quite unchildishly, and the brakes also worked intensively.) There was only one drawback - a harsh suspension until it was stolen. And so I became the proud owner of a brand new Camry. The car is undoubtedly better, softer, more comfortable than folks. The engine isn't that noisy, and of course, after 3000 rpm it makes itself felt, but what you want from an inline-four is not a silent V6. As for consumption, since I mostly drive around the city, the average consumption on the computer is 10.7, which is not too far from the truth. The suspension captivated with its comfort, as well as the interior with the trunk - with its size. While I have traveled only 2,000 few impressions, I will go again - I will definitely write.
There are four things I don't really like:
1) The brake pedal lacks information content, unlike the brakes of the Merc and Volks - pressed, dug in
2) There is an incomprehensible noise in the glove box area :) who knows, tell me how to fix it, they get it very much in a car for $ 30,000 :)
3) Very noisy tires and radio with below average sound quality
4) If you noticed, when refueling, the gun does not hold the neck very well and for some reason it itself walks a little from side to side (maybe I'm going too far)
In general, I am very satisfied with the car and I advise it to everyone who hesitates with the purchase. Since I myself considered the option with a chord (good, well-made, but the class is different and the price is too high), with a maxim (I don’t consider it after switching to the euro), a new mondeo (not bad, but as soon as you calculate the price with options, it goes off scale for 30- ku, moreover, Evrikov).
Toyota Camry (2003 onwards)
It seems that I was unlucky with the car, or I made a mistake with the choice of dealer. The car was bought from an official dealer: TOYOTA Avtovo Center in St. Petersburg in June 2003. Exactly a month later, problems began: the traction control system and the directional stability system spontaneously work, which naturally leads to a loss of speed, the car simply stops moving, the on / off traction control button does not work. You have to stop, turn off the engine, and only after that the system starts to work normally, after a while the whole process repeats. When you first contacted the service, the "specialists" explained this as a common malfunction of the on-board computer, when you contacted again after 2 days, it turned out that the throttle block supposedly needed to be replaced, fortunately - free of charge, under warranty, and that such cases have already happened, but only with a / m, equipped with 2.4 liter engines, and several cars were even recalled. In general, this whole story has been going on for 6 weeks. the delivery of spare parts from this dealer takes from 3 to 5 weeks, what kind of guarantee is this, and I walk and look with a feeling of slight envy at the "dream managers" owners of serviceable TOYOTA CAMRY V-6.
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
The car is a month old, I used to drive Avensis and Primer, now Volvo 60 and Camry. We chose the size and price (I didn’t want to carry air on the van). On trips, two sons always fought for a place in the back, but there is enough in the Camry, in addition, the trunk is just right for the family when you go skiing: two bags of boots, helmets and equipment and still left with a margin, and snowboards and skis on the roof. The most interesting thing is that we go with my wife from St. Petersburg to Murmansk and notice whether the road has become better, or the car, rather the second - a smoother ride, Toyota softness and you go reclining, landing in height - like in Van, you see the roofs of nine, at first it’s amused. And there is nothing more to say. Everything that the family wanted to get for this money (price / quality) we bought. I recommend
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
The car is not the first, I bought a new one because of the rapid growth of my son :-)), a boy at the age of 15 is already 182 cm + daughter, + wife, + frequent trips with a shoulder of 250-300 km. = large family car.
At first, the car was alarmed by some impressiveness when shifting. When I understood the difference in the suspension between the previous MMC Galant, and stopped "boyfriend" on the road, I began to arrange the suspension and throttle response, especially with the overdrive turned off. If you need to accelerate even on the track - the sequence is simple - press the button and at the same time the pedal to the poly .. And they flew ...
Today, the run is 20 tkm, the average consumption is about 10-11 liters (70% of the highway).
It is very comfortable if the steering wheel is still adjustable in length - in general, I would ride lying down.
Under warranty, I replaced the front struts - there was a pull to the left at the very beginning of the run, they were replaced without a bazaar .. Now, as if I ride on rails, even when throwing the steering wheel, it keeps the course, as if in a rut.
The "complaints" about crickets in the responses cause laughter. I explain - I myself suffered, and called the car names together with the Japanese because of the rattling "in the glove box area." The wife itched that she was drumming on the left. He took out glasses from his eyeglass case (who doesn’t know - he is above the mirror) - and EVERYTHING went away !!! My friend also had groans, he found a rod from a pen in the door pocket, he was cured ...
In short, if you need a big car for a comfortable ride, not like a "boy", but with the necessary power to "jump" at a traffic light - the choice is right.
If there is a desire to "light up" and "rearrange" - you need to look for Behu, or something similar. But!! I repeat, there are MUCH more places in Kamryukha, and FRONT-wheel drive ... I don’t ride in the rear in winter anymore ... Good luck on the roads!

Hello, I saw your site, read about my new Camry and decided to confirm something that was said, I think the owners are not lying. I have a Camry 2.4 VVT-i automatic transmission reystaling 2004. (it really looks better because of the new grille (like on the 300 Lexus) and new front and rear headlights, though it shows turns right at the radiator grill like on some kind of Ford, I saw it on it, not really, everyone you meet will not immediately realize that you you turn, and so the body is the same, the mileage on it is now 2580 km.To the left, I didn’t notice it doesn’t take me away, but I’ll keep it in mind.About the interior: yes, indeed, for such grandmas they could do some tricks, everything is quite modest, the climate could be made separate , there is no memory for the seats (well, at least electro), the music is rather weak, frankly, who says what to reach for switching, but it’s really far from the passenger seat, and the driver in the new reystaling model has steering wheel controls, the backlight at night is really no (modest), okay at least four pillows (though they say almost two pillows fly out of the front seats, back and forth, tfu tfu tfu I don’t know, I like the spacious interior - the steamer is like in 140 gelding, it also floats along the highway like a ship, bumps, pits all swallows normally, switching gears with a normal press on the accelerator (well, not to the floor, of course, but so mediocre) is felt, while it starts yelling, frankly, the sound insulation leaves much to be desired!
I don’t know how it is on a 3 liter, but on this one I really don’t like how the accelerator pedal works! With a slight pressure, she does not hear you, you press a little more, she is already vomiting, in general there is some kind of hole! those. for directors, if you will be driven, and not you will manage this dream, then know that it is not the fault of the driver that there will be various twitches, both from a standstill and adding at least 80, at least 100, at least 120 while driving !!! EVEN SMOOTH - SOFT SHE IS JERKING EVERYTHING!!! There is no such thing - as you gently press, so the car smoothly and starts to pick up speed! Now, about her appetite, I still don’t understand how much she eats, but every two days I throw into her either 500 or 800 rubles, despite the fact that I work all day and rarely go anywhere during the day, though now I live in a country house 21 km from MKAD, i.e. I think I wind a hundred a day, or even a hundred and fifty, so count for yourself - even if it’s 400 km. for two days it is 500-800 rubles on the 95th.
Now about the wheels, I DON'T LIKE THAT SHE HAS VERY NARROW WHEELS FOR SUCH A SHIP! I put it next to a 220 gelding, so it’s probably a little 10 centimeters longer in length from it, the same in width, but in height it’s healthier because of its raised ass, it’s like a new 7ra boomer, so that wheels - not everyone has such a jeep! Why did they make such miserable wheels I don’t understand, but I can’t put others, and why? Yes, because he insured her naturally! And the insured event is not paid if it is changed!!! Disks, everything will pull fine, but they are narrow!!! Nonsense to make such a ship and on such wheels! It doesn’t look good on them, and I think the wide ones will keep the road better.
Now at a price - 40 (I mean with all insurance cases, registration, signaling) of course a little expensive for (one might say) an empty model, but again I read about the new empty Audi six - so almost everything is the same in it, but not even electric seats, but there is bi-xenon, the Germans now won’t release xenon and mini, they even have it on Opels, but here, alas ... put it in, but why bother, they could have already delivered it from the factory, it seems like it’s an executive class), and everything else is rain sensors and parking sensors, and the light turns on automatically (by the way, it’s convenient when entering tunnels), and electric mirrors etc. etc., everything is the same as on the six, but now you won’t surprise anyone, everything is very simple, but how much does the audyuha cost and how much is this one, then I’m thinking, maybe 40 is not expensive ?! Maybe now such configurations cost so much! What can forty is now not money! So, take a pacifier! Maybe I'm behind the times?!
Summary: The car is normal, with the exception of the shortcomings listed above. I do not think to sell yet, I'll go and see.
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
So the summer has passed, the emotions and enthusiasm for the new car have passed, and the time has come to pass TO1 (10,000 km) and sum up the summer season of operation.
In general, I am satisfied with the car, the Japanese assembly has never let me doubt its quality.
But there are some disadvantages associated with the configuration (I have R1 with MKCP),
firstly, put the park-tronic, the car is big and I want to park more securely so that nothing comes out, despite the caution, I kissed various objects 2 times (fortunately not other people's cars), I didn’t wait for the third time, repainted the bumper and immediately put the park -tronik, now I feel much more comfortable.
secondly, the tires (turanza) are very noisy, and most importantly narrow for this car (205 / 65R15), the problem is that if you need to start faster, especially in the left turn (and if it’s also wet or sandy), you have to carefully dose the pedal gas, otherwise the car just stands still and the wheels go by themselves, now the new Camry, already on 16-inch wheels (215 / 60R16), will have to fork out for new R16.
Now a little about what is good.
It’s a pleasure to drive along the highway, very good aerodynamics, if stones hit only on the wings, nothing flies into the windshield, 180-190 holds the road perfectly, but on the other hand it’s scary, all the same, such a speed is not for our roads.
Light sensor, a very handy thing I didn't use at first, but now I really like it.
The rain sensor is also very convenient, although if you drive through the trees in sunny weather, it works.
I also forgot, I want to put xenon, just right for winter, although there is enough native light.
The result is that the equipment would be richer, and there are no special complaints, but get more options.
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
Sat behind the wheel of this car at the end of March. Gearbox M5. I drove 6500 on it.
I'll go straight to the cons:
- insufficient soundproofing of the wheel arches, insufficient soundproofing of the doors, the work of the suspension and the sound of dirt on the knee arches are not very pleasantly audible, it is desirable that the sound of the engine penetrate into the cabin only after 4.5 thousand revolutions,
- due to the large windage with a fairly low weight (for a large car), you have to taxi on a straight road (maybe the property of a particular instance),
- primitive trip computer,
- no radio control on the steering wheel,
- no separate climate,
- A protruding muffler pipe under the rear axle, has never caught pah-pah.
At first I did not feel the pleasure of driving, because. before that I went to SAAB 9-5, it has better reception and noise isolation, and more accurate handling. Then I got used to Toyota now, I don’t think about these disadvantages, I just go and that’s it.
It is a pity that there is no leather interior, the dealer said that the manual transmission leather car will have to wait half a year (~ 1500 on top of the base cost). I sighed, thought and took it, there will be an irresistible desire, for 1000 euros it will be possible to draw a leather interior.
Yes, the front seat cushions could be genuine for a couple of three centimeters.
The steering wheel is not adjustable in depth.
All with cons.
A car without a twist, but if you approach it from the point of view of utility, it definitely fits: high ground clearance, 205 / 65R15 tires are definitely suitable for our fucking roads, but for those who love show-offs and changing tires and wheels every year due to their untimely death from our toyamtokanav is too small (245/35R19:)
You can drive, but you need to keep the speed above 4000 thousand.
The rain sensor is a handy thing.
The optics shine quite acceptable.
The average consumption of the computer 11.7 in the city.
Like the side windows with anti-rain coating.
The cost is acceptable compared to other cars of about the same class, fucking duties, in the USA this car costs 8.5 thousand less.
That is, the assessment of this car is quite acceptable, but for someone it may seem that he is driving a dream.
You can buy it, you won't be sorry.
Yes, I forgot about the trunk of 592 liters - it's really convenient.
Departure 1700km., The first impressions are quite positive, especially since I have long wanted a big car, and it became even somehow easier to drive through traffic jams, despite the dimensions. In general, if you take into account that I used to drive cheaper cars (VAZ-2105, Ford Sierra, VAZ-2109.99, Renault Sumbol), then I am now resting on Camry.
The cons that have been repeatedly mentioned are not so critical
- soundproofing, yes, it could be better, but the cabin is quite quiet
- trim, front seats, radio, computer, trunk handle, but in general, for me, of course, little things.
And I liked the high seating position, handling, dynamics.
In general, I am satisfied with the car, but look how much, now in St. Petersburg Camry is on every corner.
Ends the first year of operation of my Camry. Just passed the 2nd MOT. On the speedometer 20 thousand with a little. Operating conditions - every day in summer and winter 50% city mileage, 50% highway mileage, mainly in Finland. The average consumption per year according to the computer is 9.6 l / 100 km with automatic transmission and with constantly working climate control, which corresponds to what is stated in the data sheet.
First, about the cons related to both the car itself and the configuration option for Russia.
1. Noisy engine, especially during acceleration, which many have already noted, and noisy standard summer tires Bridgstone Turanza GR-30. I'm not going to change, like some, but the fact is the fact.
2. Poor quality of the standard tuner. As a result, I only listen to CDs in the car.
3. Lack of height adjustment of the front passenger seat.
4. The absence of cruise control in this configuration - it is simply necessary abroad, at least insert a spacer between the gas pedal and the seat.
5. I noticed in Finland and checked it repeatedly - the speedometer readings overestimate the real speed. For example - on the speedometer 100, actually 92-93 km / h. Why this is so no one can explain.
6. The fuel level lamp lights up too early. There are still 10-12 liters in the tank, and it is already on fire - annoying.
7. Parktronic is a really necessary thing because of the large trunk. I don’t have it, but, they say, they are already putting it on new models.
Now the pluses, taking into account the operating experience of previous cars such as the Audi-100 and 124th Merc.
1. Low fuel consumption, especially in the city, given the machine and a decent size. All previous models with RCP ate much more in the city.
2. Spacious interior and huge trunk. High roof, which is important for tall people like me. The new Avensis is much tighter.
3. Pretty comfortable climate control, rain sensor and automatic light on when the engine starts. I myself travel like Finns, always with my neighbor and I think that in our north it is really justified.
4. The suspension is very comfortable, especially compared to Nissans. On a bad road, as well as on a good one, I usually drive faster than others, I am not afraid of potholes, potholes and railway crossings.
5. Capacious fuel tank, cruising range in Finland under 900 km.
I noticed behind me that driving around the city became slower. The car itself has a solid, steady ride, although you can light it up if you wish. It accelerated to 200 as much as possible, it could have been more, but the high-profile tires begin to "walk" along the road.
Went through the winter with no problems. The machine proved to be very convenient in the snow and ice. Rubber, like many, Gislaved NF 3. We ride on spikes for almost 6 months a year, so the experience of winter riding is great. Camry is good in terms of ground clearance and stability on the road.
There are NO defects and complaints about quality for the year. Everyone has the same problem - roads and gas. Because of this, I had to change the spark plugs once unscheduled. AND EVERYTHING!!!
Summary. A good family sedan for everyday city driving in any weather and a great reliable car for traveling any distance.
The best in its class in terms of the combination of all qualities and prices. Waiting for a new Camry. Hope the set is better. Good luck to everyone on the road!
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
I am satisfied with the car, I will only note the problems:
1. Pull to the left side - with a run of 1000 km, the problem was solved in the service by simply turning the support plates (OR WASHER?) by 20 degrees. The service claims that these are manufacturer's recommendations. It worked.
2. Knocks in the front suspension on smooth dives at low speed - the upper supports were replaced under warranty, they claim that they put the same ones as they go to the American market. Did not help. All the same, sometimes it taps, and haphazardly, it was not even possible to demonstrate it at the service. Who knows how to overcome??
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
Hi all. I have been operating for over 2 years. Mileage 100 000 km. Took in the cabin. During this period, no faults were found by the manufacturer. Breakdowns did not occur.
At 65 thousand km, I replaced the front pads and native rubber. Rear pads pass 110 t.km. With a run of 60t.km, a slight knock appeared on small bumps from the front suspension. For quite a long time, I detected a malfunction, periodically stopping by for different MOTs and by 75t.km, when the knock manifested itself stronger (oh happiness!), The servicemen established the cause, the wear of the bushings of the front and rear stabilizers. The replacement was quick and not "expensive" 900r 4 bushings 600r work -??. And I sinned on shock absorbers. The headlight adjustment button was also burned out. The car did not bring me any other troubles, except for prano MOT.
It is interesting that the replacement of candles every 100t.km. I could not stand it and replaced it with 90t.km and was surprised by the condition of the candles, they will definitely pass 100 and another 20-30t.km.
From annoying misunderstandings: Once I switched the condo from auto mode to coercion, blow at my feet and glass. After 30 min. A/C cut out and won't turn back on. I had to drive in the heat of 27 degrees for another hour. I was upset when I learned the prices for the condo 1000 uYov, and for the clutch another 240. However, I was surprised in the morning when I started the car and everything works. The service explained that the thermal protection may have worked, and when everything cooled down, everything returned to normal. In auto mode, this has never happened, but in coercion there was once again such a repetition. By 20t.km, as they say in this forum, a "cricket" appeared in the front panel in the area of \u200b\u200bthe right air duct. Attempts to finish him were unsuccessful, and the bastard lives like that.
I like the car, I don’t think to change it, the consumption in the city is 10.5-12l, the highway is 9.5-11 up to 140km / h, 11.5 -13.5 160-200km / h.
It easily accelerates to 200 and at the same time feels confident. I accelerated up to 235 but noisy and too sluggish after 220. The dynamics are slightly faster than those of the BMW 520 of 96-97 and inferior to the 523 and 525 BMW models.
What I really like: High ground clearance - allows you not to strain when driving fast with the sudden appearance of bumps.
Energy-intensive and long-travel suspension - you can keep high speed on bad and bumpy roads, while not penetrating and comfortable enough. Easily overcomes the railway and so on without really reducing speed.
Large salon with high ceilings. High landing. The front side windows of the doors are coated with ANTI rain just a thrill.
High comfort when moving your own ass to any distance.
What I miss: Cruise, automatic transmission, rear-view mirrors with auto-dimming, side seat support, money for a Mercedes. Good luck and good mood to all.
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
Good day to all. In August 2003, by coincidence, he became the owner of the new Toyota Camry. Engine 2.4, manual transmission (well, the rest - almost like everyone else - after all, there is almost no choice in the configuration).
When searching for a car, there was a choice: for example, I really liked the Rover 75. But, as you understand, these cars are from different categories: the Rover is clearly sportier, and the Toyota is clearly more representative. When choosing in favor of Toyota, several things played:
1. Camry has MUCH more interior and JUST HUGE trunk
2. In the Camry, the waistline is higher and you sit higher.
3. She rides more smoothly
At the moment, the mileage is 12,000 km., And this is what I can say:
1. Regarding smoothness: Very smooth machine. BUT: if you have problems with the vestibular apparatus, then I do not advise you to go on long (3-4 hours) trips. In this car, when traveling to the Vladimir region, I was rocked for the first time in my life! And my sister too. After 4 hours we barely crawled out of the car. Of course, they didn’t vomit at home, but there was no head. I wanted to put stiffer shock absorbers, but the service said: "we will deprive the warranty."
2. Regarding the noise: At home Bridgestone - very noisy! (I mean, of course, "rough" asphalt). Had to change tires to Michelin Pilot Primacy. And it helped! In addition, he made soundproofing for the cabin and trunk (for $ 700 - a “sandwich” of 3 noise and vibration insulating materials). It got even quieter. I RECOMMEND.
3. I bought stickers "under the tree" on the steering wheel, dashboard and doors. It turned out, it seems, well.
4. Although the car is not small, it is convenient to drive around the city. At the same time, they began to give way to the bowl more often (I used to drive a Mazda 626). Consumption - average for the entire period - 9.6 liters. In the city - about 12 liters. (roughly).
5. If you are alone in the car, then there is enough power for a fairly frisky start, but as soon as two or three more sit down, you already feel that you need more (especially during acceleration). All the same, the "six" is more suitable for traveling with passengers. At the same time, a cruising speed of 140 km / h, even with passengers, is quite normal.
6. More and more inclined to the fact that the city needs an "automatic". The plugs shook! After work, it is necessary not to turn the “handle”, but simply calmly move in space!
7. With a run of 3,000 km. “bugs started up” under the dashboard in the area of the left and right speakers. Very unpleasant! (especially in a $30,000 car). I tried to get to them by removing the side ventilation blocks, but everything is “deaf” under the dashboard: it’s impossible to get close. So I always go with the music on (so as not to hear extraneous sounds). If anyone can suggest what needs to be done, I will be glad to read and hear.
8. I almost forgot: the ergonomics of the driver's seat is very good, BUT: I sit close to the steering wheel and therefore lean on the “beard” with my right foot (at least in other cars). In the Camry, there is no “beard”, and there is nothing to support the leg (on the side), so it is constantly in tension, and after 2 hours of driving it is necessary to knead the lower part of the body, since it simply “ZUMPS”. For me, the design delights of the Japanese were expressed in a BIG inconvenience.
9. So far, nothing has broken (pah-pah-pah).
Conclusions:
1. The car is good, but it has a red price - $ 23 - $ 24,000. Those. almost as much as it costs in America.
2. BUY JAPANESE CONSUMPTION! (although it is expensive) Not the Germans, of course, but also good.
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
Bought new. Mileage is currently 2000 km. First impressions are good: in my opinion it is quite quiet and comfortable, it has a calm ride.
Of the shortcomings, I can note two:
-short armrest, so putting your hand to rest on the road is not easy;
-there was a slight withdrawal of the car (to the left), which is easily parried, but annoying on the road. At the first MOT (1000 km.) They said that this is a characteristic and common defect in the suspension of this model and is a warranty case.
If someone has encountered a similar defect, write how you managed to overcome it and whether it makes sense to contact our service, where they can fix it for a penny and ruin it for a ruble. Good luck to everyone on the road!
Toyota Camry 2,4 VVT-i
Mileage 5500, the machine was very irritated by its stupidity, right now I reconciled and probably got used to it ...).
Pleasant spacious interior (leather - I recommend a completely different look, I didn’t like the rag interior and I think I shouldn’t spare money, who will save money later), the seats are really not very comfortable (weak lateral support)
Good dynamics, decent noise isolation. Music is average.
According to the computer 11.8-12 liters. Lew 98 gasoline.
I immediately noticed that the car was pulling a little to the left, at the first MOT I asked the service manager a question, he asked me to drive until the next MOT. Such things ((
Everything else I like
Hi all.
Last August I bought a 2004 Camry 3.0L. Wanted this since their first release, but at that time there was not enough money. When the opportunity arose, I bought it. I begged from a classmate, he works in the Toyota center on tin and painting. The car, according to the trading system, went to the salon for sale, he climbed it and bought it in May, and blabbed to me. I got on fire! I WANT, stuck to him - give it back. He needed to solve the housing problem, and that was it. Bought, I go.
The first owner of the car went with a driver, mostly on the highway. Therefore, after buying a classmate changed all the links, silent blocks, rubber bands and other suspension. I changed all the racks to the original. It would be possible to ride those, but in winter the rear ones collapsed on the waves to the bumpers and then the car rocked slightly. With a run of 126,000 native racks did not even sweat!? Changed with all personal belongings, even front springs. I thought that the front would rise a lot, but no, not much. But I had one hemorrhagic - after replacing the racks, they did a wheel alignment, so after a couple of days I feel that it is pulling to the left. Came back for service. You did something wrong, I say. They redid it without question, but at the end they said that in general it always happens when you put new springs, after a couple of days they sit down under the weight of the car and mine, so the convergence is “gone”. Now everything is smooth.
A month later, I began to notice that a slight metallic knock appeared on small irregularities, as if something had unwound. I drove to the service, climbed all over, the master swept, they say - leave the car, everything is in order. But I hear a knock. He put his son next to him, he also hears (damn, well, these are not auditory glitches). The masters in another service still checked again, they did not find anything. The whole suspension, they say, is almost like new. I'll wait, maybe a knock will come out where it will come out (although I don't like it when something knocks). Knock is heard only on small bumps. Can anyone come across? It is clear that there is a lot of things that can knock, but what besides the suspension?
I won’t write much about comfort (not counting the knocks described above), so as not to tire anyone, a lot has been written before me - it swallows holes, doesn’t ride, but swims. On the new racks, it holds the road better for sure. Drove to Chelyabinsk on the highway, clocked up to 140 (nothing else). I thought that I would feel the sail, as I read in many reviews here, but I didn’t feel it, and that’s okay. I drive at this speed extremely rarely, unless I need to accelerate when overtaking. It is not the share of racing, but for a comfortable ride.
The seats are comfortable, the back does not get tired at all. Too bad it's leather. Until I threw the skin, in the cold, even in a warm car, the skin is like frozen metal, and the heating works only if you sit down yourself. It is bad that the heating has only two positions - on or off. There are as many as 5 of them in focus - very convenient!
The trunk is just huge, I'll go fishing and see how much stuff goes in there. It's a shame that in such a car there is no handle on the inner lining of the trunk to close it when it's dirty - you don't want to get your hands dirty, but pull the lock - the plastic lining is slippery there.
Noise isolation is not so hot, but still better than the focus. I will change the acoustics, at the same time I will make noise.
The salon is spacious. What pleases in a seven-year-old car is that there are no crickets! Only the leather of the seats creaks. Finishing materials quite suit me.
Manageability is ok. And what is there to expect? On rubber 215/65 R16 there can be no other. Valkaya, but all this for the sake of a comfortable ride, presumably. I agree, so be it, but it doesn’t shake the brain like Focus or Honda Accord.
Fuel consumption. This is the most painful issue in a 3-liter engine. In winter, the city with warm-ups and traffic jams 19.6. Now it's warm, I almost don't heat it - 16.2. On the highway on cruise control - 9.6 (105 km / h), if you press the pedal yourself - 8.8-9.2, depending on the terrain. The fuel gauge is strangely tuned, I fill up the neck and drive before the lamp lights up, when refueling, only 60 liters come in, with a tank volume of 70 liters. It turns out that there are still 10 liters on the burning lamp. splashing, where so much?
Reliability: tfu-tfu, never failed. And all the Toyotas I've owned have never let me down. The worst thing that happened was the low beam bulb burned out. By the way, about the headlights - the light is good, but the headlights themselves seem to have darkened ... it’s only unclear whether they were smoked from the inside or shivered from the outside, and I noticed this in all 30 bodies. In the 40s, the headlights are as clean as crystal, and these ...
In general, I like the car, I do not regret that I took it. Minor flaws do not count, I will correct something over time, I will put up with something. And I'll be riding it for at least a couple of years. These were still made by engineers, but the new ones were made by marketers. Friends who changed 30 to 40 regretted it: handling is better, but comfort is not tooooot.
Good luck to everyone on the road.
30 of the 4th generation under the factory index V30, the Japanese first introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 11, 2001. In 2005, the car went through some modifications to the body. The front and rear lights were replaced, the front bumper was modified and a different grille was installed.
Spoiled European buyers car did not seem something original. They did not find in it either excellent driving performance, or noble design, or respectability and prestige inherent in this class of cars. As a result, the car was sold in Europe for only 2 years.
In the US market, everything was exactly the opposite. Camry has always been held in high esteem by them and the release of the new 4th generation model has only strengthened the group's position in the USA.
This model was also actively promoted in the CIS markets and other emerging markets, just like the previous model, which proved to be excellent.
Usually, in the CIS market, this model, like other Camrys, is presented in 2 versions - this is “European” and “American”. The vast majority of European cars were bought in car dealerships and, as a matter of course, they have official service books, which are quite easy to track the history of the car.
In the least advantageous position will be those who prefer Toyota Camry 30 imported from America. These cars are fitted not only new, but also get to the "gray dealers" from the second, and even from the third hands. In addition, American motorists are famous for the fact that they are very negligent about their cars and often do not understand why every 10 thousand km. spend money on oil changes and other minor maintenance. Of course, the American Camry is cheaper than the European version, so when choosing a car from the USA, you need to be extremely careful and look at the entire car for defects, try to find out its history as best as possible.
