Default New Camry - Time to say goodbye to WRX
As some of you know already I have a little bub on the way so it's goodbye WRX and bring on a family car (yay!!).

Been looking at the camry lately (also mazda3 and 6 and honda accord) but at the moment in terms of room at the back camry is winning by far. Since i don't want a commonwhore and a falcoon....does anybody here own a 2007 or 2008 camry?? If so can you tell me what the differences are between 07 and 08 models? Anything gone wrong with the car?

Can anyone recommend me a new or near new car around $25k-$30k for the above mentioned purpose (no wrx or evos)??

PS. Jaron got ur sms the other day had no credit to reply (fakin cheap i am). My uncle sold the tarago so it's only a 4 seater from now.

you're a member already not a bad start!

Dave, nice looking car..big enough for a 180cm person sitting next to the baby seat?? In terms of leg room that is. Can you get one under $30k?
