      I had a brand new 2011 Hyundai Elantra that saved my life. A girl hit me from the driver side hard and I also was told that I'd have been killed if the frame hadn't been built so well and the car wouldn't have had air bags and seat belts. The air bag knocked me unconscious. I suffered a dislocated shoulder, a fractured rib and a punctured lung but I'm still alive to tell about it. I shudder to think what it would've been like if this had been in the 1950s when they had no safety devices in the cars!! Somewhere on RUclips there is a crash test between a 1959 Chevy and a 2016 Chevy The newer Chevy absorbed the crash and the test dummy was not torn up. But the 1959 Chevy the test dummy had the steering column pierced through its chest and it was quite a mess.

A lot of things you don't see unless there are repairs from a accident. There are right and left side parts and interestingly enough, vehicles must get hit on the driver's side more often because I ship more of those parts.

    I got a 2005 Camry, 3.0 V6 135,000 km just over a year ago. In amazing shape, $7500 CAD and full service history (old man car). Runs great, oil barely changes shade between 3000 mile changes. My only complaint is it's worse on gas than my 1.6L 4-cyl Kia, but the extra *oomph* is sure a lot of fun.

I have the Lexus version 2006 ES330 which is even nicer, the one like your wife’s but mine is LOADED with POWER rear sunshade, heated AND COOLED seats, mark levinson premium audio, chrome rims, sport suspension, auto rain sensor wipers, touch screen navigation with voice command, it’s a beautiful car. Mine has 232,000 miles it is flawless and rides like buttery smooth brand new. I do have the check engine light cuz of the DAMN P0430 code for the catalytic converter but it runs flawless and it doesn’t affect the drivability of the car.

      I liked this gen as well they were reliable, if I was 17 in 2003 would had bought a Camry LE over Accord LX.
      2020: 200,000 miles runs like new.
      PROS: RELIABLE AND FUEL EFFICIENT.
      CONS: NONE
      OVERALL RATING: GOOD car no issues (normal wear and tear items), it's a Toyota... Oh What a Feeling a happy customer still driving his 2003 Camry.

I bought it 2 and a half years ago at age 16 for $5000 with 180,000 miles, it was a one owner car and absolutely pampered and taken care of and serviced, now 2.5 years later I have 232,000 on it and it’s been flawless except for the catalytic converters.

    I had a V6 ‘05 Camry with an LPG fuel tank. So cheap to run and it was fantastic while I had it. It did start ageing though - the suspension was weak, and it was slowly developing lots of little problems (eg: transmission light didn’t work; and lots of kms for its age). I miss that car it was great value - lots of travel for not much money.

    2002/2003 were bad years for engine head bolts stripping and falling out and then you have to spend a couple grand on new heads or a rebuilt engine! 2007-2009 were bad years for VVT system failures along with massive oil leaks that were expensive to fix! The best years were 1997-2001, 2004-2006, 2010 and newer! I picked out a 2.4 liter 2006 SE trim, which comes with upgraded suspension and 4 wheel ABS disk brakes, for my aunt with 170,000 miles and it's an excellent car!

    Sure enough my transmission started rattling at 75xxx miles on the car. I recently got a better job and decided to do something nice for myself. I sold my Altima and went down to the Toyota dealership and bought a 2020 corolla hatchback with a 6-speed. I wanted to say thank you for converting me and being honest.
