Are you looking for luxury or reliability? If you want reliability,
a less fancy car has less to break. Don't forget to check the service
records on any car you are considering, since previous owner care or
lack thereof makes a big difference in reliability. Note also that
low mileage per year may indicate severe service city driving or short
trips.

Note that the 2002 Camry is the first year of a major redesign, for
better or worse.
