Assessment Summary
The Camry Ascent Sport combines a mature 2.5-litre petrol engine with a long-standing automatic transmission, both benefiting from Toyota's extensive service network and a history of durable operation in typical ownership. Real-world reports indicate strong durability for the powertrain when properly maintained, and overall reliability history for the Camry lineage is favorable. Weaknesses include some oil consumption variability and occasional engine-related issues in high-mileage examples, plus occasional transmission shifting quirks.
