Used Toyota Camry Review
If you’re wondering, “Is the Toyota Camry a good car?” the short answer is absolutely – consistently, year after year. The Toyota Camry has earned its reputation for reliability, comfort, and resale value.
At United Auto Sales of Utica, we’ve seen literally thousands of drivers choose a used Toyota Camry not just because it's affordable, but because it offers performance others simply can’t match.
Of course, this isn’t a flashy car; it’s a confident one. The Camry delivers every day: starts without hesitation, handles tough commutes gracefully, and feels solid even after years on the road.
Smooth, Efficient, and Always Ready
But don’t take our word for it. Camry owners all over the country are praising the car’s balance of power and economy. Most late-model used Camrys either feature:
- A 2.5L four-cylinder engine offering exceptional fuel efficiency of up to 35 MPG
- A 3.5L V6 engine for those looking for a bit of extra muscle on the highway
Regardless of which engine you choose, both deliver smooth acceleration and quiet, comfortable cruising, which is exceedingly rare in non-luxury sedans. In combination with Toyota’s precise and responsive steering and well-tuned suspension, you get a car that’s easy to enjoy, whether you’re navigating city streets or making a daily Utica-to-Syracuse commute.
Comfort That Outlasts Trends
The Toyota Camry offers value inside and out. Inside the Camry ages especially well. The materials, seating comfort, and layout feel modern yet useful. Toyota has always been known for designing cabins that feel calm and intuitive, and that approach pays off in the used market.
You’ll find:
- Supportive and comfortable seating for both rows, just right for longer drives
- Insulation that keeps your cabin quiet, no matter what speed you're driving or what road you’re on.
- Smart technology that’s actually useful, from Bluetooth to touchscreen infotainment and beyond.
Simply? It feels like a more expensive car than it is.
Safety That Inspires Confidence
Comfort is not everything, though. Safety is even more important, and that’s where Toyota shines. Toyota’s safety record is the main reason why Toyota Camry reviews keep raving about the car. Many recently used models even include Toyota Safety Sense, a suite of driver-assist technologies such as:
- Pre-Collision System including pedestrian detection
- Lane departure alert with steering assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Automatic high beams
But safety isn’t new to Camry. Even older models perform exceptionally well in crash tests and braking responsiveness. If you are looking for a car that not only makes you feel safe but actually is safe, this Toyota checks every box.
Long-Term Value That’s Hard to Beat
Some buyers are hesitant to buy a used car, but buying a used Toyota Camry is one of the smartest financial decisions you’ll make. And the numbers back it up:
- The Camry consistently ranks among the most reliable midsize sedans in J.D. Power Studies.
- Kelley Blue Book lists the Camry as one of the lowest-cost-to-own vehicles in its class.
- The Camry routinely wins top resale values, meaning you lose less compared to other brands.
And that value continues when it comes to maintenance. Maintaining your Camry is refreshingly affordable. Oil changes, brake jobs, and parts are common, inexpensive, and easy to find. And here’s a secret: With proper service and maintenance, these cars easily exceed 200,000 miles.
