Big Daddy Camry (2003 - 2006): Why Don't People Like It? by Nobody: 3:16pm On Jun 07, 2012
Hello Nairalanders greetings!

Please why is it that most people don't like Big Daddy Camry. I want to buy it but people have discouraged me so much. They prefer pencil light and fish eye.

Please If u have had a bad experience with Big Daddy (Camry.2003-2006) Camry. Please share it with me.

Please this post does not mean I am discouraging whoever wants to buy it. Every advice is highly appreciated.

Please let me also know the cost of the tokunbo V6 engine and the gearbox.

Thanks

I think it has to do with the look of the car.

The Car is Popularly Called "BIG DADDY" or "BIG For NOTHING".

Model year started from 2002 - 2006

The Later explains further, the Vehicle is Unnecessarily Spacious, the Trunk Can Contain a Large COW.

However, mechanical Wise, It is very SOUND and Cheap to Maintain.

The 4 Cylinder Engine is the same Up till 2011 Toyota Camry,

The 2006 - 2011 Toyota RAV 4 and also the 2001 - 2011 Toyota Highlander SHARES the same 4 CYLINDER Engine with the Camry.


The Engine is arguably the Best YET from Toyota.

Is this Camry the same with the Small mommy? What about the Rat nose light?
What a name! None Nigerians will probably think we're talking about Animals instead of cars! And it's funny how clients or customers from Nigeria expect you to know what year they meant with those names.

I had the 06 model last year,the engine is sound,the engine cost between 400K to 450K,there is no problem with the car provided you get an XLE or SE.I never had any problem with it baring the legs which is a general problem for toyota cars. If you want to buy please go for it

The car is so unnecessarily big with poor interior and it looks sluggish.The voltron model has more respect than this toy.

The xle is superb. The six cylinders engine is cheaper to replace too. U will enjoy it definitely. Though the interior is not so fascinating.

The car is big and Nigerians expect a commensurate packed/aero dashboard to go with the size but got dissapointed with the few buttons, bus type board and they christened it....big for nothing.

For me it is just the design, especially the back. Generally Toyota cars are sturdy and efficient.
