 This particular model Camry has been amazing for our family car.  It has 304,000 miles and still going.  The cons first:  It seems to use up brakes and rotors quickly.  Probably about every 20,000 miles they need looking at.  It also seems to go through a fair amount of tires... more than the average car.  The pros: The list is endless.  Transmission and motor are incredibly built as our car has 304,000 miles and still going strong.  We will be selling it to a new driver as his first car.  The car still looks and drives good and the style is pretty classic so it doesn't look real dated or anything.  We are about to get a Highlander cuz we're getting older and need a car a little higher off the ground than we did back in '98.  Bottom line: This is a Camry extraordinaire! Gotta love the quality of this particular model.
