Yea shes looked at the altimas thats her two choices camry an altima but shes leaning more toward the camry....i try to stay out of it much as possible lol

I can't tell you how many Camry's I've had for rental cars in the last 2 years. I can't stand them. Them and Chevy Impalas have to be THE most boring cars in the world.

As for reliability and all that, I'm sure they are fine. For the money, I prefer the Altima, or a VW Passat. But whichever she likes best.

My wife had an 04 camry and she loved it. Now my daughter has it 200k+ miles. Greatest car we ever owned. We looked at the new camry's and was not impressed at all. If the new ones were like her 04 we would have gotten her a new camry. We ended up getting her a maxima. Very pleased with it.

The new ones are completely different than the ones you drove

Wife had a passat when we first started dating. It had the 2.0 T motor.


can you say money pit... Finally got tired of working on that POS and dumped it.


On a side note what's up with the small oil filter access holes you have to stick your hand in a slice up your wrist on most of these foreign jobs...

Rant over carry on

These are new ones. I drove one last month fresh off the lot. The newest model does look slightly better and is bigger, but they still are completely bland, and drive like crap. And man are they slooooow. Altima's and Maxima's at least give you some feeling that you aren't simply doing the next best thing to taking public transportation.

I'm sure they are perfectly fine cars, and my friend has had terrific luck with his mid 2000 model, but I find them very boring. Just my opinion.

You DO realize that nowadays, that is just getting 'broken in', don't you?

Have you looked at Accord's? I just bought one for my work vehicle (parked my truck, cept when I need it). Gets about 28 on the road at 75-80 mph and with V-6 lots of go, I like mine but sounds like she's set on a camry

[Long Duck Dong]

Up until recently my wife has not owned anything but an Accord. Her last one was an '08 model and it would FLY! It was a really nice car. Good mileage too.

[JFW2006]

I dont see any problem with the camry we got a like new 2011 model today test driving it...its got plenty of power for her and it drives and rides great to me....and about $12000 less than a brand new one so were probably gona get it!

LOL! I drive a lot of rentals too and thats exactly what I say about an Impala. the most boring car in the world! I've only had one Camry as a rental.

A Camry isn't exciting, but they are good cars.
