Toyota consistently in top 5 JD Powers brands. Friends owning Toyota vehicles have had stellar performance. Important for a road car we plan to drive 10 yrs + more around town. I have had good pas luck w/Chrysler but 2012 cars like 200 not fit my needs. see full Toyota Camry review |

I have owned a used Volvo 544, and a used VW Rabbit, both of which were disasters, and then bought, new, a Corolla which I gave away after 19 years when I bought the Camry. (It is still running.) That told me the reputation was welll-grounded. see full Toyota Camry review |
