Why do Toyota Camrys appear to never break down?

One car that has built a reputation for being one of the most reliable and long lasting on the road is the Toyota Camry. Camrys with hundreds of thousands of miles still running strong are not uncommon, while other cars of similar age are headed to the scrapyard. As a result, many people have cracked jokes and meme’d about Camrys being indestructible. So what explains this impressive longevity, really? Is it better engineering, better materials, or a combination of both? But does this legendary reliability mean that other desirable features or driving dynamics are sacrificed? So let’s dig into what’s made the Camry so damn durable and if that durability is still deserved in more recent models.
