2005Explorer Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Is it just me or is this one of those new, state of the art Camrys? Does that car have hubcaps??? What cheap ass looking wheels and tires. Looks flimsy after being tore up a bit. Edited October 2, 2007 by 2005Explorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadamaster Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I had a 2000 Toyota Blundra back in 1999 when the Blundra was supposed to be sending the domestics running to the hills, did it strand me two times or three...I lost count.... that's what he said, its not in his list, so i asked why not. No, I owned a 1997 Toyota T-100, Toyota's first attempt in the U.S. market at a full size truck. Phenomenal 2.7 4cyl and auto tranny, ate brake pads for lunch and rode like hammered a$$. I logged over 270K miles on mine before I just got scared of it (nothing ever really broke except the A/C) and decided it was time to jump ship before something did. I bought it from my employer then at 230K miles. The 2000 Blundra I used for two years was a company truck, a regular cab with a horrid V6, body was an overall improvement, same brake pad replacement required every oil change. It like munching on spark plugs every six months, shooting them out of the head, thus totally stranding me on the side of the road. When we asked Toyota corporate about all of the problems, the response was, " Our trucks are made for commercial use". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious1Auto Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 My brothers 04 camry 4 banger gets 28 city and 34 hwy wasjust with him on a 500 mi. trip it is pretty gutless but it sure will get the mileage!!

Tico Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) My '00 Focus averaged almost 39 MPG from New Jersey to Michigan. Na na. MY '98 NEON R/T modified only with a MORAR cold air intake got 40 MPG from Wisconsin to NE Pensilvainia. Hey old Honda CRXs used to get over 40 MPG in the 80s! The Camry is just HUGE comparied to the cars we are talking about. Size matters! Edited October 2, 2007 by Tico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a chick, My Fusion is also a mid-sized car comparable to the Camry. A GEO metro also gets 40 MPG but I would not drive any of the sub-compacts mentioned!

Yes. But mind that I'm getting 29 mpg city and 36 hwy in real-world conditions in my Fusion. The 22mpg comes from government testing.

suv_guy_19 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 cough cough cough bullshit cough cough cough I agree, the I4 Fusion we had for a short time could not break 31 mpg highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark8LSC CE0464 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The 4 cyl in the fusion should do over 30 highway, my Mark VIII gets 28.7 on the highway if I stay off the gas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Ouch...22 MPG out of a 4 banger? If anyone is getting that, it definitely needs to be worked on. My roommate got 35mpg over a full tank on a highway trip (90mph and with A/C running full blast, but otherwise optimal conditions: perfectly flat, constant speed, warm temps - a trip down the Central Valley in California). I'm very eager to see the future Fusion, though... if that turbo I4 Igor was talking about really gets 40mpg highway, that will be awesome!

Sounds about right. i don't have a lead foot, I am the same guy that can get 19 mpg out of our f-150 (5.4 4x4) and almost 30 mpg out of our 3.5 Magnum.

Furious1Auto Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 How you drive defiantly has allot to do with your MPG! I get better MPG than most people I have talked to with the same set up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even see how that's remotely possible. My Cobra, back when it was stock even, could never manage better than 22-23 mpg no matter how I drove it....it typically got around 19-20. Now? 15-16!!

suv_guy_19 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Damn so IT'S YOU!! You're the one who drives at the left lane and goes 70KM/H... Never, actually the F-150 is at home at about 110 km/h, and thats the speed I drive all my vehicles. The only one it really seems to make a big impact on in the way of miles is the Intrepid....and oh yes, we can't forget the beautiful, stripper, white with gray bumper no cruise control Neon.

Ralph Greene Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Whenever I can get deals, I rent 4 cylinder Camys and Accords for my monthly trips from Central Florida to NC mountains and back. I admit to only going the speed limit, and using cruise control all i can, and it's only me with one suitcase in vehicle. I usally get 34-36 MPG from these vehicles for these ideal trip driving conditions. Why wouldn't the 4 cylinder Fusion and Milan do the same? I'm going to rent one if I get the chance.

I even have 3.73's in the rear instead of the stock 3.27's. On many trips I average better than 30mpg. But it's not worth having the Mark if your not going to drive it like a madman!

Explorer4X4 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Basically it is true, what Ford/GM/Chrysler enthusiasts have been saying for years. The Camry sucks, Toyota just makes people think its a good car. When its not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
