Interesting. I know a Toyota/Lexus mechanic, and he says that the Camry's V-6 is the worst engine in Toyota's line up, and they use that engine in alot of cars, including the Lexus line.

Consumer Reports ratings should be taken with a grain of salt, however. Its sort of a car rating system for people who dont like/love cars, but they are usually pretty close.

“he says that the Camry’s V-6 is the worst engine in Toyota’s line up”

Problems arose only when they weren’t serviced on schedule. If the oil and filter was changed on schedule, there was no problem. Toyota extended the warranty on these engines anyway.

And even Toyota’s “worst” engine is better than some other makes’ “best” engines in terms of reliability. Ford, I’m looking at you....
