Warranty

The 2012 Toyota Camry is covered by a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. The Camry also comes standard with Toyota Care, which includes free factory scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles. Complimentary maintenance is rare among affordable midsize cars, but the 2012 Volkswagen Passat’s free maintenance program is good for a longer period of three years or 36,000 miles.
