Question

i WANTED TO BUY A NEW CAMRY BUT PUT IT OFF FOR NOW BECAUSE THEY COME WITH 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES NOW . MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS KIND OF BRAKE WAS DISASTROUS ON A FORD TAURUS

Answer 1

Yes lets not compare Ford to Toyota's It really is like comparing Spam to Prime Rib

Answer 2

Not buying a car because it has 4whl disc is a ludicrous idea. Trying to compare a Taurus to a Camry is even worse. Like comparing a t-bone to a can of spam. The Camry will give you years of trouble free service. You'll go through 2-3 sets of front brakes before you ever think about the rears. Don't put off buying a superior product due to a bad experience with your Ford. As far as the Saturn goes, keep on moving. Figure to be replacing it in 3-5 years due to incessant squeeks, rattles, warranty issues and what have you. There's a reason Toyota is poised to overtake G.M. as the #1 automaker in the world in the next 5-6 years. Better product=Loyal customers.

Answer 3

Look and test the Saturn Aura before you buy anything. It has received only rave reviews and beats Camry in every category, especially looks. Standard base options, like a V6 and automatic transmission would make a CAmry cost thousands more. It even comes with more standard options inside. Last year Toyota had the most recalls, but the media "failed" to notice since millions would stand against them because of thier reputation. These days reputation is nothing, technology advances so fast it cant keep up. For ex: three years ago GM was one of the worst companies, now they have the most top-rated vehicles, and the quality/reliability surpasses Toyota. Honda is still on top of the reliability ratings. Ford also had more recalls than GM and DaimlerChrysler combined, for reasons like exploding engines and wheels falling off. Here is a quote from the Washington Posts review of the Toyota CAmry "one of which is the Chevrolet Malibu, which in my real-world driving experience has been every bit as good and reliable as the much-ballyhooed Camry but has been maligned primarily because it is a Chevrolet". Oddly enough that was an '04 Malibu VS the totally redisigned '07 Camry. Common problems with Toyotas are plastic rattling until it falls off. People then complain that when they take it to the dealer to be fixed they just say "The cars are made with so much plastic its practically impossible to fix" GM is also the worlds fastest growing manufacturer, and that dosent happen by accident. Look at the Saturn Aura, you will be glad you did.

Answer 4

The reason for 4-wheel disc brakes is cos they're more superior compared to drum brakes. They are able to dissipate heat a lot faster than drum brakes. This is crucial because overheated pads cause brake fade. Once this happens, it's as though you were not even applying the brakes in the first place. It can happen to disc brakes too, but it's not as likely as drum brakes. Most commercial vehicles with over 2 liters these days come with discs all around.

Answer 5

if you dont abuse them and give them regular maintenance they will serve you well :)
