I've never driven a Camry, but I've had two Toyota Corollas: A 1990 that I bought new, kept until June of 2000 (w/ 197,000 miles) and a 2000, which now has 52,000 miles on it. Great cars! I would have kept the 1990, which was only burning about 1/2 qt of oil every 3000 miles, and still got 32 MPG, but it needed new tires, springs, shocks, struts, brakes, clutch, timing belt, and all new front end parts... Couldn't justify that much to keep a great car on the road.
