toyota engine sludge problem bad in camrys..the new ones have it too.. big issue..not sure if the accord has the tranny problems for 05.. the newer corolla now has the engine sludge problem. older corollas dont know how far back but they never use to have the sludge problem..

the sludge problem isnt related to maintenance either.. that engine has to run at a higher heat to meet emissions standards and it just turns the oil to sludge.. that keeps me from going camry.. i prefer my 92 but i dont see anything new or newer that is made as well..i have the shake at idle but it doesnt interfere with how the car runs..new motor mounts would help, keep it tuned, they are fuel injected there will be some vibration. ac compressor makes it vibrate some people have the egr valve problems.. 117,500m i havent had the later problem.. the motor/tranny mounts do influence the shake suppose to damper the vibrations..

if the decision is really hard to make check out..edmunds.com, consumer reports, msn.autos. com all have consumer reviews that might help u decide.. see what actual owners say..
