Have you ever used any toyota/Scion with 2AZ-FE?
if YES, then tell me your Experience.
If NO, then quit speaking ignorantly!

FIY, I own a 2003 Highlander (which is basically a Big for Nothing Camry in SUV shape) with 2AZ-FE engine its been running for over 12 years on stock engine and transmission since it was produced. It hasn't lost the factory manufactured engine before.
I know folks who have been running Big 4 Nothing for long as I can recall and they use it as a daily car and travel car not even an engine lost.
@ OP, the Camry XV30 (2002-2006) AKA Big for nothing is one of the best Camry ever produced its built like a tank!

Aljharem, STOP spreading lies from hell
Really my colleague uses one. No engine problem,spacious. I like it,but for d name they call it. Thanks for shedding light on this.

Debatable. Since looks are subjective, I'll go with you on this one.



This is true of any car, not just the Camry. Does any car look good with scratches or dents? Your claim here is unsubstantiated.



Really? If this were the case, the Camry would NOT be one of the top sellers in its class in North America. The United States is the land of litigation. If the engine was as bad as you state, there would be Class Action lawsuits on an HOURLY basis.

Anyone who has to replace the engine in their car thrice annually, even in the cheapest and most basic car, is a morön. They need to look at their "mechanics" and themselves, in terms of maintenance and driving habits.

Your assertion the Camry engine is "poorly built", and "gets spoilt easily" is as baseless and empty as a hole in a wall. You have NO engineering background, and know NOTHING about an automobile, otherwise you wouldn't have made this statement. I challenge you to trawl the Internet, dig up all the proof you can to back up your claim, and I'll apologise to you, and eat humble pie.

I'm not a fan of this particular Toyota Camry, but simply because I don't like the shape. Nothing else, and I would NOT castigate it. Have I driven this particular model? No. So I can't criticise it based on mechanicals and electrical system. Have I driven the 1997-2001 models? Yes. And I could NOT fault them. To be a good critic, you have to be impartial, which clearly YOU are not.

Oga I am humbled o, see analysis chioo. I simply just mentioned why Nigerians named the car that.

I humbly bow out

The reasons will be bordering on the size without no new improvements or specifications. It comes with a big trunk as of it was made for transportation of goods.
Anyway compare the price of Toyota Camry big for nothing in Nigeria here.
