Hi, guys and Alouette...I'm just a l'il ol' female, but if I'm not mistaken, Toyota engines aren't affected when the timing belt breaks. However, it's a moot point now with the newer models.

Four-cylinder engine: Models from 1992 to 2002 had the 2.2-liter, DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine that might seem slightly underpowered but was vary reliable. Starting from 2002 Camry received new 4-cylinder 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve engine with Variable Valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) delivering 157 horsepower at 5,600 rpm. The cylinder block and the head are made from aluminium alloy to reduce weight. Timing belt was replaced by a chain to reduce maintenance costs (no need to replace a timing belt). This engine offers good low-end torque, reasonable power and good fuel economy.

I'm on m y second Toyota Camry. My first had over 200,000 miles on it when I bought a "demo" off the lot with 29,000 miles on it in 1997. It's still going strong with close to 200,000 miles on it. I've only had to do routine maintenance with it, replace struts once, and brakes twice. Honest. Actually, just once on the rear brakes. Exhaust, transmission, etc. are all original.

The Toyota Camry is indeed an excellent choice. My better half drives one. :)
