Positive Owner Reviews

Paula S

It runs well and I have spent virtually no money on repairs.

I like the my vehicle runs well and has no problems. It has been very inexpensive to maintain. I dislike that it is a boring style and color. Silver is my least favorite color.

Doris M

It is very easy to drive in all weather conditions.

I like my vehicle in all respects. If not, I wouldn't still have it for 12 years. No complaints except regular maintenance, tires, brakes, etc.

Jerry W

Just a great car with never any problems.

Purchased new have had no problems. . Regular maintenance upkeep only. Still have original rear brakes and have 137000 mile on car. Do regular oil changes and yearly inspection on the car. Have had 2 new batteries and three sets of tires. Paint still in good shape and so is the insides.

Jacob B

Toyota Camry is a super duper amazing vehicle!!

This car is absolutely amazing, I have driven all over the state of Florida with absolutely zero problems. It has been all over the southeast of the United States without a single issue

Rebecca F

Toyotas are the working man's Honda.

I am the 3rd owner, my car is now 12 yrs old. It still runs very well and all repairs are expected of its age. One problem is the paint has bubbled off, it seems to be a very common occurrence in older Toyota cars in Rhode Island. My hood is bare metal and the top corners are starting to peel off now. I need to have the entire car repainted, but I really do not want to spend the money. I have a teenager who will be driving in 1-2 years, so I plan to pass the car on when he is ready. At that time, I will look for a newer used Toyota. I have had multiple cars in my life, of different makes. However I have been convinced. I will only buy Toyotas from now on. My only other preferences are Hondas and Nissans, but they are generally pricier.

Susan T

That it is very reliable as long as you keep up the maintenance.

It is very reliable and safe to drive. I love the size. It has never broke down on me. I love the blue color.

Georgina G

A very good year and model car.

The car rides smoothly. It is so far lasting a very long time. It rarely needs tune ups; has air conditioning, power windows and brakes; great on gas; large gas tank. Has abs brakes; so light a green in color that it looks grayish. Car is 12 years old, but still in good shape and rides well.

RELIABLE VEHICLE , COMFORTABLE TO RIDE AND EASY DRIVING

TOYOTA CAMRY IS A VERY RELIABLE VEHICLE. HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH, JUST ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

Negative Owner Reviews

Jacquelyn F

After 100,000 miles they tend to burn oil for no reason rather quickly, even after an oil change.

I hate it. We have had it since day one. Sudden acceleration issues and oil leakage after 100,000 miles. Toyota claims no responsibility for either problems and offers no solutions.

Ara S

One most important thing others should know about my car is that the seats are from leather.

It does not have the modern communication systems. It uses too much gasoline.

Lauren C

Car is very reliable and great on gas.

The car is a good car. It is just old. Doesn't have any of the modern features newer cars have. It is very reliable.

Allison S

Great car, will not break down.

It is a great car, but the only thing is the size. I do not have kids and so the back seat never gets used. Also I want a faster car, more sporty look. I like the newer Cars though. I have a friend that has a newer Camry and it is black, she loves it. When I see the Camry le it looks a little more geared towards older ages.

Elizabeth R

Great, cost efficient and valuable car.

This car I have had for more than 10 years and still running smooth. No major engine issues. I have just done the necessary upkeeps like oil changes, replacing tires as need with wear and tear and small upkeep and cleaning. I also do not spend crazy amounts of money on gas because it is surprisingly efficient.

Jess T

A solid john smith of a car.

For a car that is 12 years old, it runs pretty well. Over 120, 000 on it and with maintenance it is fine. Comfortable seating and legroom, quiet your average nice car.

kelsey s

My Toyota Camry is a very safe car. Not only is it safe but it is also reliable!

My vehicle is okay. I would not say that I love it but I certainly don't hate it either. It gets me where I need to go and it has fairly good gas mileage. I cannot complain.

Alissa S

It works. It is a safe car and it runs well ..it's just not new.

I love my car because it gets me from point a to point b safely. It does have air conditioning which is wonderful on the summer. However I would love a newer car with some of the newer features and safety features as well.

What Problems Does the 2006 Toyota Camry Have?

There are significantly fewer problems on the Toyota Camry compared to other midsize cars from 2006, including the Accord and Fusion. The 2007 model has over 20 times the number of complaints, including engine problems, that are not fixed until 2010.

Interior problems, including speaker grills failing around 80,000 miles, are common. The parts wear down when exposed to UV light. The only fix is replacing the cover, which is easy to do at home, costing about $30.

Excessive oil consumption is a problem that shows up at around 160,000 miles. Toyota engines use more oil than other cars to protect components. The best solution is to check the oil regularly and top off as needed.

A clunking noise while turning is also common at 50,000 miles. A worn out ball joint usually causes the problem. Replacing the parts costs about $400, depending on local labor rates.

There are 5 recalls, an average amount for a car from 2006. The recalls include information labels and seat heater wiring. Most serious is the seat heater wiring, which can cause a fire.

How Much is the 2006 Toyota Camry Worth?

Blue book values on the 2006 Toyota Camry range from $4,894 to $7,400, which is more expensive than the Passat and Mazda6. When new, prices were $19,065 to $24,645. Depreciation is better than average, only losing 7% of its current value per year.

How Long Will the 2006 Toyota Camry Last?

A properly maintained 2006 Toyota Camry will last over 300,000 miles, which is one of the longest-lasting midsize cars. Repair Pal estimates regular annual maintenance costs to be $309 per year, which is cheaper than an Altima or Optima.

As a Camry ages and reaches 150,000 miles, there are some components which may need to be replaced. They include air conditioning expansion valves for $275, control arms costing $400, and mufflers which cost $775.

Jill I

Very reliable, my car has only broken down once and that was my fault for not getting an issue checked out when I should have. The only recurring problem I have encountered with my car is that the windshield defroster does not work very well.

Elizabeth B

Until now, 2019 we do not had and have any problems with the Camry. The only thing we'll need to do is paint the front because has some spots because the heil other if this the car is in perfect shape.

Sara M

Not that many problems. Just have to make sure to upkeep it. Do the oil change and the tune up and when it's time new tires.

Thomas G

It has been most reliable car I have ever owned. Only problem I had it with it was one year I needed to replace ac compressor. Other years were just normal services nothing major.

Tiffany M

The 2006 Toyota Camry le is very reliable. A good car takes care of you if you take care of it! Gas is great!

Sharon A

Yes, very. I have replaced the alternator and water pump and brake pads, but that is all. The only other problem was issue with the locks. Overall, for 95k miles it has done very well.

Lina C

Not at this time. Considering that the vehicle is 13 years old some issues may arise but, as of this moment all is good.

Steve M

I have had no problems and judging by the performance so far, I do not anticipate any issues in the future. I have it serviced on a regular basis which helps to ensure the vehicle is reliable.

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

Technology is basic in the 2006 Toyota Camry and it’s the final year before a complete redesign with new features in 2007.

Base technology includes an AM/FM/CD stereo system with 6 speakers.
Optional upgrades include navigation, an 8-speaker JBL stereo system, and a 6-CD in-dash changer.
Standard safety features include antilock brakes and air bags. Stability control is an available upgrade on vehicles with V6 engines.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance is not a strong point for the 2006 Camry. The most powerful engine takes the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.3 seconds.

The base engine is a relatively weak 2.4L 4cylinder with 154 horsepower.
Available on the LE and XLE models is an average-powered 3.0L V6 with 190 horsepower.
Only found on the SE model is the most powerful 3.3L V6 with 210 horsepower.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Camry?

The 2006 Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan similar in size to competitors including the Altima and Accord. Passenger room is great with more spacious back seats than any other midsize sedan. Cargo space is average, fitting 4 to 5 suitcases in the 16.7 cubic foot trunk.

How Does the 2006 Toyota Camry Compare to Other Cars?

The closest rival is the slightly more affordable Honda Accord. Where the Accord wins out is with a sportier driving experience, but the Camry is longer lasting. On the used market, the Camry is a better choice with fewer mechanical problems.

Another competitor is the Ford Fusion, which is also more affordable. The Fusion has a higher-quality interior, but the Camry has more technology available. Ownership costs are lower on the Camry, making it the winner between the two.

Final Verdict: Is the 2006 Toyota Camry a Good Car?

Yes, the 2006 Toyota Camry is a good car. A score of 4.4 out of 5 from 314 verified owner reviews, with no major mechanical issues make it easy to recommend.

Positives include the best reliability ratings, and a spacious comfortable cabin. Some downsides are less powerful engines than many rivals, and prices are higher on the used market.

Jill I

Yes, the heating and a/c work really well and I have had no major issues with it. Since it is so old I am happily surprised to see it lasting this long, I hope that I can continue driving this car since it is really easy to drive.

Elizabeth B

Yes, the Camry is very good vehicle, we traveled all the us without problems or issues. Also the our Camry has the original paint, ac, leathers seats, motor and carpet. Everything is original and that is just prove that Toyota is the brand forever.

Sara M

Yes it's super dependable. The parts are also super cheap and easy to access. Also the labor is easy so it's cheap.

Thomas G

The 2006 Toyota Camry has been a great car for me. Great gas mileage still and it may not feel like riding a new car but for 2006 the suspension is still great.

Tiffany M

The 2005 Toyota Camry le is a great vehicle. It runs good on gas and has given me zero problems. This is great car to travel in!

Sharon A

It has been great. It has been very reliable, nice to drive. The gas mileage is good, not needed many repairs. Toyota makes quality vehicles.

Lina C

It has been for me. I have found that it is a reliable brand, it can handle some serious mileage. I am very surprised at the performance of my car as I have always driven other vehicles made in the USA and never a foreign brand.

Steve M

I bought it as a certified used vehicle and have never had a single issue with it. I have taken all day trips and it has performed perfectly as expected. Great gas mileage as well.

Hit 150,000 on my car

This car has been good. Outside of regular maintenance: 1 - Alternator at like 100k 2 - Rear struts / sway bar 100k 3 - Noticed decent oil burn at 110k (Cheap 5k oil changes). Resolved by changing to Mobil 1 and FRAM synthetic oil filter. Issue gone at 130k miles. Switch to AmsOil and FRAM super synthetic filter. 4 - 110k a few brake bulbs and stuff burnt out 5 - Rear drum and cylinders 130k 6 - Master cylinder 130k 7 - 130k rear speakers became brittle due to sun light. Fixed cheap and d***y (just razor them off and drop in new) I am ready to do some more work on it at 150k. The steering shaft rattles a bit on bumps. So far a really good car. Much better than other brands my family has. What regular maintenance means to me: - 5k oil changes which are now 10k or once a year - 30k Air Filter / Cabin Filter / Wiper Blades - 60k Transmission Fluid / brake fluid / steering fluid /throttle body cleaner -125k sparks/wires/belt - 5 year radiator fluid - Batteries/rotors/pads/tires when needed

Tom O on April 4, 2021

Perfect Toyota 2006, Oldie but Goodie!

Although an old model, my Toyota still works as good as new. It doesn't usually have major mechanical issues; just normal servicing and oil changes are needed most times. I mean it's a 2006 model, so it lacks all those amazing features that the newer models have. But Toyota is definitely one of my favorite car brands. Hope to opt for a newer model soon!

Jah Z on April 4, 2021

Ride or die on the road smooth ride 0- 60 road highway quality.

It runs smoothly the performance always comes through never had many issues, can always rely on the vehicle the seats are so comfortable the engine can speed up fast comfort the seats when I get in make the experience of driving even better backed up by the way it handles on the road.

Cindy H on March 27, 2021

Check the alignments regularly. Never skip caring about the front bumper screws.

I like the reliable engine. It has some cosmetic issues which can affect the function of the tires. It tends to have alignment problems.

Amber S on March 25, 2021

Toyota Camry Le cheap on gas

I love my 2006 Toyota Camry Le. It's dependable, it's a very smooth ride. We haven't had any problems out of it, since we gotten it. It's really good on gas, only fill it up once a week and that gets me back and forth to work every day, an the seats are very comfortable.

Stylish car with comfortable ride.

This car keeps in very good condition for the 12 years of operation. It is got comfortable durable seats. The suspension is great and the cabin stays quiet during the drive.

loretta d on February 9, 2021

The seats are very comfortable and the cargo space of the trunk is great.

I like everything about the camry except, I think the gas pedal and brake are too close together. Also it would be nice to be able to adjust the height of the passenger seat.

Haeyoung C on February 8, 2021

Toyota Camry- A gas efficient dream

My Toyota Camry is a super dependable, reliable, gasoline efficient car that has continued to drive like it's brand new after almost 14 years. I have had very few maintenance repairs and the ones I have had were standard type repairs or replacements. I Recently had to replace a coil pack which was an easy diagnosis and fix. It is the most comfortable, consistent, and durable vehicle I've ever owned. I would recommend a Toyota Camry to anyone.

Desiree H on February 1, 2021

It is a good quality car because its parts or parts are durable, an important detail is that it is not noisy

The performance of my car is optimal, it is an excellent car in all senses, in terms of damping they tend to present faults, their interiors are comfortable and easy to use

Maddy M on January 30, 2021

Great reliable car that will never break. Perfect for new drivers.

I love the car. Never had any issues with it. I would recommend buying this car 100%. Will buy it again, once mine doesn't drive anymore .

Joe H on January 29, 2021

Great car and how to maintain it.

Great car when properly maintained. Very reliable car , good mileage and no major engine problems. Use synthetic oil.

Teresita M on January 26, 2021

I have had my car a very long time and it still runs great.

I love my car. I have had my car for over 10 years and it almost looks new. It runs very well. I do not have a lot of repairs. My car can hold a lot when I am shopping.

jason b on January 26, 2021

My car is dependable and is a great old car that is cheap on gas

My car is old and beat up but it gets me from work and back.

Sharon B on January 25, 2021

It is practically no maintenance.

I purchased this car new in the fall of 2006. At this time, 12 years later, I only have around 23, 000 miles on it. I have replaced three batteries, a set of tires and changed the oil annually. That is all the maintenance required. I have knocked the side mirror off the car twice but that has nothing to do with the car, which is a comfortable vehicle.

Brianna D on January 22, 2021

That is has a lot of space in the back seat and in the trunk.

I like that it can carry large items. It has a huge trunk. I dislike that it does not have an aux cord capabilities.

roxanne r on January 21, 2021

Over 12 years old and runs like brand new. Take care of it and it takes care of you.

All cars in the Toyota line up are excellent as far as reliability, durability and value. The 2006 camry sedan is great and there isn't much to complain about.

Auguste V on January 20, 2021

It's reliable, it's old but it's still runs fine, without any problems. Toyota's good for that

It runs fine, I bought it used last year, so far hadn't got any problems, even though it's already 12 years old. I don't like that it doesn't have a phone jack so I could listen to music (since the car is too old)

Crystal F on January 16, 2021

Camry is a great vehicle!

This has been a wonderful car. Completely reliable and dependable. Good gas mileage and efficient in all ways.

Katara L on January 16, 2021

Extremely sturdy for the first 100k miles. After first major problem, start looking for a new car.

It's very sturdy and lasts a long time. However when it does start having problems it's one thing after another and you're getting it fixed every paycheck.

Leonel S on January 16, 2021

Its a Toyota camry xle. What can go wrong with this car? Nothing

Best car ever had. Good in gas. Great for the family. Very affordable. Basis maintenance brakes, oil.etc

Anna H on January 13, 2021

Love my car still going strong after almost 20 yrs.

I love my Camry its almost 18 years old now and is still very dependable and comfortable. I just recently had to replace a cv joint but seeing as how this car has gone thru 3 family members it's still a great car.

Janet C on January 13, 2021

It has under 30,000 miles on it!...and it is a 2006 Toyota Camry

I absolutely love my Camry...it is dependable and requires little service. I received it from my mother in law in 2009 and have used it since. My only dislike,if you want to call it that is that it does not have all the bells and whistles of a newer model.It certainly gets me where I want to go!

Keith A on January 9, 2021

If it is taken care of, the car will last for a long time.

I purchased it from my father 8 years ago with a little over 40k miles on it. It now has over 280k. I have taken great care of it as far as routine maintenance and phase maintenance goes. Therefore, I have come across little to no problems. The alternator went out 2 years ago and the starter within the past year. Both have been replaced. The 2 O-rings on the HVAC system that connect to the compressor were out, both replaced and the AC works great again. The size is comfortable for long trips. The performance is great also.

Beth D on January 8, 2021

Great and efficient car worth buying.

It drives great. It gets really good gas mileage for the price. It is durable. It has great accessories in the car such as seat heaters, sunroof etc.. My family has had Toyota’s my entire life, they last a very long time and haven't caused any severe injuries in car accidents in the past.

David T on January 7, 2021

The car doesn't look like much but it does what a car is supposed to do, get me from point A to point B. It is the most dependable car I've ever had.

The vehicle is dependable. I never have to worry if it is going to start.The air conditioning is not working currently. It also gulps oil. I am constantly having to add oil.

Justin P on January 7, 2021

Its clean and good on gas.

Comfortable seats. Good on gas. Had plenty of power. Has good features CD player power windows and seats. Has plenty of room.

Saman S on January 6, 2021

It lasts for a significant time, and minor maintenances are reasonable

It's working after having more than 180K mileage on it. I'm happy with it

wilma C on January 5, 2021

It's cute and reliable and I have no desire to sell my Camry.

It's a cute, reliable car that is reliable. I enjoy driving it. No mechanical with it. New tires recently. It's kept in a garage to protect it from the elements. I love the color or it to and the interior is in very good shape. I have no desire to sell my Toyota Camry.

Jon D on January 1, 2021

Comfortable super running car!

Terrific car. . . Comfortable, nice cloth interior, quiet great running engine and transmission, peppy! Huge trunk, holds 16+ cubic feet of luggage. Has been a wonderful vehicle. Hate to trade it or sell it!

Heidi C on December 30, 2020

The car has very comfortable seats. It runs great and has a good look. It is also easy to drive. The breaks and gas pedal are not too touchy but work well.

I really like my car! I think that if i could improve anything it would be to make the blind spots in the car not as big. It is hard to switch lanes easily.

Samantha N on December 29, 2020

Will last forever as long as you keep up with the oil changes and regular maintenance.

I love it. It has almost 300,000 miles on it and still runs great. It does have a few oil leaks but as long as I keep it full and changed it's fine. Very good on gas. Has never left me stranded.

Liz T on December 29, 2020

Toyota is a very reliable and dependable vehicle. MPG is good as well for a mid-size sedan

This is my 2nd Toyota Camry and I love it. Performs really well, very reliable and comfortable. I gave my first Camry to a relative.

Ken W on December 28, 2020

120000 miles and still running like a champ just basic maintenance

No complaint drive great cheap on gas maintenance is not to expensive

Natalie E on December 27, 2020

It does not consume much gasoline which is convenient for my long drives.

I like how convenient my car is. The fact that is not a big car allows it to it anywhere. I have never had issues with it and it always seems to be “healthy” when going to the mechanic. It is an excellent car, it takes me places.

Ally H on December 27, 2020

It has a nice interior design, nicer than what you think a 2006 car would have.

It runs great! There have been lack of problems considering I bought the car used. It rides smoothly. The gas mileage is not the best, but it works for what I need. The electrical part of the car that makes the engine go blew out once, but it was a quick fix. I do not see it having any problems in the future.

Cindy C on December 26, 2020

It's a very reliable car. I never had any problems with it and it still runs great.

I love everything about my car. It has a v6 engine. It's the charcoal color that I love. It has cloth seats. It's a sports edition Camry.

Evelyn D on December 23, 2020

Toyota, they are great cars!

Our Toyota has been very reliable. We have had it for 11 years and it has 165, 000 miles. We bought it used with 10, 000 miles. We have not had to have any repairs on the car just maintenance like new tires and battery. We recently took it on a road trip (4300 miles) and had no problems. We love our Toyota.
