I drove from Ibadan to Kaduna with just one full tank of fuel with my Toyota Canmry 2008 XLE I got through Nairaland. Before while I was using 2007 Honda Accord I used to cover the same distance with 2 Full tanks.
I also use Semi-Synthetic Oil Milemaster 5w-20 in the engine. No car is as fuel efficient as Toyota.

My brother go and buy the car this morning.

Bros, ur 2007 Honda accord had issues. Mpg on 2007 Camry and accord are basically the same for the i4 or the accord is slightly better.

@op, why not buy the xle model. The se model will give u a harsh ride due to its suspension . Nigerian roads are terrible for sport tuned suspensions.

You are on the right path bro,
My 2007 camry LE is 11 months now and it's still a joy to behold. the parts are readily available and I haven't had cause to change much except brake pads and stabiliser linkages. maintenance cost is moderate. Whether it's LE, SE or even XLE, just make sure you do your home work well before surrendering your cash, cos owning a car is enough liability, talk more of getting a bad one... Good luck!

The Accord was V6 sha.

Yes @Op pls buy XLE instead. Even the 17" wheels of the SE could be an issue sometimes.

Op pls buy dis car. It's a wonder. I love the SE spec cos of the sporty look and aesthetics. The XLE, LE don't look fine to me. The SE is padded! Also the car is fast. I drive an I4. It's very reliable and fuel economic. Check out mine below: grin

Re: I'm Planning To Buy Toyota Camry Se 2007 Please Advice by Nobody: 1:27am On Aug 26, 2014
It's decent enough. Just make sure you get the v6 and not the i4. And you could really enjoy the ride

Pls don't go for d V6 engine. It's problematic and lazy naija mechanics wud endup spoiling it. It's complicated when they want to replace or work on any part cos the engine covers all d space. My I4 engine is pretty fast too aand economical.

Please, could you educate us on how the "V6 engine is more problematic" like you said. I am very much willing to learn.

That car is better in V6. With good maintenance and a reliable mechanic that does your repairs you will never need to do any engine work.

Once you get it. Make sure you change the timing chain with original to avoid sudden breakdown. V6 doesn't like sudden cut espec ;Dially when in motion.

Cheers

I used to own the SE V6.

Trust me you are better off with the V6 Engine. Its much smoother to drive with more power

This is highly ignorant. You're no different from the "lazy naija mechanics" that would end up spoiling it, because they're the same ones that advice against v6 just like you just did!
Nigeria is filled with people that love wallowing in ignorance! You speak of v6 like a plague, meanwhile all the sienna's in Nigeria aren't they v6 ? Most of the suv's in Nigeria aren't they v6? And even v8?

You sound more like Secondary School kid that knows nothing about vehicles Sorry to use that statement
I have never owned an i4 car in my life I used a 3.4L Chevy 6.1l v8 dodge and 3.5L pilot
And I stay in Nigeria am I an alien?
Nigerian mechs are good no doubt
But what of you the customers
You want cheap parts
The mech tells you to replace a part u told him to manage it like DT.
Who is fooling who
U buy wrong oil of #2700 for him because he said the recommended is #7000 ... Smh
We think everybody wants to scam us that's it
The engine gets messed up and u say d mech is a novice

A brand new i4 car engine can get destroyed in 8months ..
So what's the junk review for?
