Camrys hold a relatively high percentage of their value over time, so you'll get a little more back when it's time for your next car. Interior Features Toyota interiors have long been considered to be among the best in the industry in terms of appearance, function and finish. Wind and mechanical noises were nicely subdued in our test car, and we encountered no squeaks or rattles.
The end result was an Apollo with its own , , grille and assemblage up front, coupled to a markedly different rear, with re-styled tail lamps and a -mounted, as opposed to bumper-mounted, cavity. Additionally, in 1996 the cam angle sensor in the distributor was also replaced with a crank angle sensor to achieve a smoother idle. The steering is light and not particularly precise. And of course preventive maintenance as well. From October 1995, the V6 models were simply known as the Vienta—losing the Camry identity altogether.
