I want boring, reliable, last for 10 years kinda car.

My last camry I gave to one of my sons.
I was just bored of it. Really nice engine - the 3 litre V6 cylinder. It has over 300,000 on it

Bought an older 2.2 litre camry for another son. Faultless car, about 300,000 on it now.

I have a newer 2.4 litre camry, 5 speed auto.
Only a bit over 200,000 kms on it. Sort of like brand new really.

yes.
If you want a boring reliable car that will get you there and get you back year after year after year after year till you are bored of it, get a Toyota.

The further west I have been into the desert, the more Toyotas I see.
The locals there, toyotas is about all they have.

I used to have a Subaru (liberty) before my current car ... great car, the only thing I can fault was the rear seat didn't split down ..other than that, never had a problem with it. I still prefer my toyotas.
