You've uncovered the 3 'weaknesses' in the Toyota Camry.

1) Not worth keeping once wrecked;

2) Unlike a Mercury Marquis or a Saab 900, 200K is about all she wrote;

3) V-6 Gas mileage could be a lot better.


But, you could do a lot worse than find another almost new 4 cyl. Camry.
Most extreme fuel mileage offerings are seriously overpriced or have stupidly small brakes, wheels and tires, or both.
Nothing wrong with a smaller car, but with power windows and yaw control and tons of surplus wiring and padding, power door locks, traction control, alarm systems, sunroofs, etc, the thing is up to 3,400 pounds and fuel economy will suffer.

Check out the Mazda 3, hatch version.
