Hello everyone! First time Toyota owner and hope to learn a lot about the car on these forums. My previous car was a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Very quick car but boy it loves gas, expensive to repair and upkeep, and high insurance. Traded it in to get the SE and so glad I did!

welcome and enjoy it!
haha with gas quickly approaching and in some cases, over $4.00/gallon, you made a good switch. Although i would still keep the evo for weekends and track days! haha

Good choice in a car!! I did a lot of searching before i bought my first 2008 Camry a few months ago i guess it has been and i love it! I kept coming back to the camry when i would look elsewhere.
The camry is a quick car also when needed. I try not to step on it a lot but a few times i have and spin the tires hitting second gear in a 4cyl 5 speend manual :-)
Again congrats!

I would've loved to keep the Evo but unfortunately I can't have both cars. If I did I would have two car payments.
Oh and i just saved $350/yr on insurance by switching to the Camry! Thats a good thing!

Congrats! I'm assuming that you got the SE I4? Sad to see you leave the EVO though. I was thinking of getting the same car along with the WRX when I bought the Camry. But economically, it wasn't feasible for me either
