Both the 4-cylinder and V6 2001 Toyota Camry have Consumer Reports' Much-Better-Than-Average Reliability Verdicts. For contrast, there is not one Buick in any model year from 1998 to 2007 that has a Much-Better-Than-Average Reliability Verdict.
Also:
1. The Reliability Percentrank of the 2001 4-cylinder Toyota Camry is .96, on a scale of 0.00 to 1.00, and the Reliability Percentrank of the 2001 V6 Toyota Camry is .89. For reference, Toyota's overall 2001 Reliability Percentrank average is .91, Honda's is .88, and General Motors' is .32.
2. AutoOnInfo.net's detailed reliability and durability studies suggest that a typical 14-year-old Toyota vehicle is about as troublesome to own as a typical 3-year-old Buick.
3. Toyota dominates nearly all of AutoOnInfo.net's durability measures.
Finally, my friend's daughter drives a 1993 Toyota Camry that serves her perfectly fine.
