Having a 02 Camry I can tell you it does drive pretty good.. We previously had a 93 Camry that had about 240K miles with no serious maintance issues. I hate to say it but the quality of the workmanship is alot better than Ford, GM, Dodge and they stand behind it.. I had an issue with wind noise coming thru the windshield seal at speeds above 70 and after one failed attempt from a different dealer to remedy the situation the local factory representative authorized the replacement of the glass versus removing the glass and trying to reseal it.
Before buying the Camry, I test drove various vehicles from GM, Ford, Dodge, etc and to my suprise the Fusion, Focus, and the 500/Taurus were rather uncomfortable for me after a test drive of 30 minutes. The Fusion especially was bad, I actually had one on an extended take home test drive and I found it rather uncomfortable after driving in rush hour with it. The GM fleet, I'm not gonna even mention cause i hated the lack of quality in their products I looked at.. The Dodge stuff, yuck.. I had a Dodge Caliber for a rental after someone t-boned me and I remembered why I hated dodge, couldn't get out of its own way.
Another thing I noticed was the fact the value of the cars do not diminish versus other brands.. And no I didn't go with Honda cause quite frankly there's enough asians driving honda accords, civics, etc..
