My in-laws love Toyota Camrys. They have had a '95, '98, '02, '05 and '07. I do most of the routine work on them, oil changes, brakes, struts, etc. Granted, its anecdotal but my impression is the quality has gone down. The '95 and '98 feel more solid than the '05 and '07 and are easier to work on too. You can see the lack of quality in the finish of the parts you don't see under the hood, chassis, etc. The '05 and '07 have been back to the dealer several times for computer/electronic problems but the '95 and '98 are still in the family and going strong, no issues at all. Its seems Toyota dropped the ball when they really started growing. I also know two early '00ish Tundra owners that are switching to domestics next. The Tundras are good but very expensive to fix, difficult to work on. And they suck fuel too. The late model Camry's don't quite break 30mpg yet the early ones are in the low 30's with ease on the highway. Find a nice '98 and buy it, its a solid car. The newer ones drive like '80's Buicks.

A sensor went out on my neighbors Prius. He knows I work on cars so I get called over to take a look. The sensor that tells the computer the brake has been released failed. So the car thinks the brake is on. No start, no move, nothing. Couldn't even roll it as it wouldn't come out of park. Trapped three cars of his dinner guests until they flatbedded it away the next day. Utter garbage. There ya go. RT
