2005 Toyota Camry -
The biggest thing that I like about my vehicle is the reliability. It has been 10+ years since I purchased the vehicle at an auction, and it has not once broken down on me. As long as you keep up with the regular maintenance, the gas mileage (30+/gal) and overall reliability of the car are outstanding. The second thing that I believe Toyota really put effort into is the comfort of the vehicle. There is a huge amount of leg room and a huge trunk, something that is extremely beneficial to commuting workers/students such as myself. Additionally, the car is literally a tank. I've been in one at-fault collision and have been hit once myself... the Camry hangs in there and continues to push onward without any missteps! I love my Camry!
Story
There's so much room in this vehicle, you can easily fit four–five medium-sized individuals in the back seats. In high school, while it was cross-country season, I used to transport my fellow runners to running locations away from our HS to get a change of scenery! With a Camry, it was no problem!
Pros
I would have to say that my most favorite part of the Camry is the amount of space that the vehicle has. I have been able to fit luggage, a bike, and more, with still plenty of room to fit passengers. It's unreal and a huge convenience for me, especially as a commuter. I also enjoy that it's very basic. There's no fancy technology to mess with; just get in, start up, and drive.
Cons
In this day and age, the really only negative aspect of this vehicle is the gas mileage. At just around 30mpg, it's on the lower end of the range for cars today. In the past, this thing was a beast in gas mileage.
2007 Toyota Camry - My reliable Camry
My Camry was originally purchased by my parents in 2007, and in 2015 when I got my license, I inherited it. It had always served my parents well going all over the northeast for my sports games, and I was very pleased to have it for my own. It's been great to me these past few years; I've never gotten into an accident or even a ticket in the Camry.
Story
Driving to my friends' houses late at night my senior year of high school.
Pros
I love that it's a hybrid - my Camry gets great gas mileage. I drive quite frequently and rarely have to fill it up more than twice a month. It's very comfy, not too big and not too small with soft seats. It's quiet and doesn't jolt when you touch the gas. The trunk has always been more than enough room for me. The car performed well in the snow when I lived in a cold area, and it was never hard to get snow tires that work well. It's very smooth and sleek and makes me feel like I'm doing a bit of good for the environment.
Cons
The rear speakers have blown out a bit, distorting audio for the passengers in the back. Since it's a bit older, it doesn't have any fancy features like a back-up camera or LED/touchscreen. It also has no back windshield wipers, which is a pain. However, where I live it doesn't rain very much. One of the car charger ports doesn't work anymore. The AUX hookup is in the most ridiculously inaccessible place imaginable and is so annoying to reconnect if it falls out.

They were willing to negotiate with me and they also threw in extras like car mats without any negotiation. The car was also in perfect condition and it had barely been driven.
