Positive Review

"Best Value on the current new car market."

My Camry LE with the XP package has everything I need and value in a car. It is fast , smooth, quiet, comfortable, reliable , fuel efficient, roomy, and good looking . It is “loaded “ with options considering it’s only the base model Camry. It has been a great car and I enjoy driving it every chance I get!

Critical Review

"Cheap quality everything"

Nothing but plastic pieces, and rattle sounds inside the car for being new. The hybrid works half the time. Pretty sluggish engine, no performance. Headlights are not impressive. Stereo don't ask because it's cheap sitting on top of the dashboard. I'm not a fan of this car, it was only a temporary vehicle the service department loaned to me because my truck is in there service dept for a repair.

Reliability Issues

Trading the car in, not reliable enough

Seems to be a problem dealing with this camry. Transmission making a strange noise. I, had this car in the service department for other repairs. Being a daily driver vehicle it seems unreliable.

It's not as fun as a electric suv awd
Pros

No pros at this time

Cons

Not a thrilling type of car

This is just a car, sitting kinda low to the ground. The fuel mileage is good, it's a hybrid that still takes gasoline. Seats are stiff in the front, uncomfortable in the back seat and not enough head room. The stereo is technically worthless being a small tablet design. Well, I decided to buy a suv awd electric instead. To me this is better so I don't have to go buy gas, and deal with this hybrid system at the same time. Camry sedan was a nice vehicle for a long time, but the future is changing and theirs lot's of nice vehicles to choose from nowadays. This car didn't feel up to date, that's why it's getting a poor feedback score. These cars haven't changed much over the years 2022-2026 basically the same body style design.

Poor quality
Cons

Poor quality, value, comfort, styling, performance

Squeaky plastic sounds in the interior. Fuel mileage is not accurate. Engine and transmission noise. Stereo problems, sunroof squeak. Suspension is to low, rough ride. There's way better choice vehicles for the same price range.

Enough of this vehicle
Pros

No

Cons

Recalls of manufacturer, Safety concerns

New car nothing but recalls, time missed from work. The best thing for me to do is either sell this car, or trade it in. This car is not reliable enough to keep it around.

Terrible in snow, cold conditions
Cons

Complete Junker

The hybrid system doesn't even work correctly in cold freezing temperatures. It wouldn't start battery issues. This vehicle had to be towed back to the service department for another issue. This car is not working out for my liking as a daily driver. "Complete Junker"

Excellent vehicle
Pros

Great mileage, reliable, great in snow

Cons

Pricey

I drive this car daily for work. I live in MI. The AWD when combined with snow tires is great on snow and icey roads. The interior is very comfortable. Love the heated steering wheel and seats. The ventilated seats are nice in the summer. My car is loaded with options. The hybrid gets 40 mpg. I absolutely love this car and people compliment me on the appearance all the time. I'm not sure why other people gave it poor reviews. I put 40,000 miles on my car in about 1 1/2 years. Change the oil every 5000 miles. It handles and rides great.

Not fun any more
Cons

Transmission etc

At first I really liked the car. It was fun until this car started acting up and leaving me stranded on the side of the freeway. I, had to have it towed to the nearest store for inspection, and repair. The transaxle went out. Apparently it's a safety recall. I, had to rent a car just like somebody else said for the time being. This car had other problems going on before this as well. It's just confusing why kbb provides a 4.8 rating. They must of got paid hush money to make this car look better when is not. I, read stories about this online bribery. As for my car, I'm actually trading it in as soon as possible. I, really like the honda passport sport suv much better than this camry.

Gasoline Hunker Junker

I, bought a new lemon 🍋 hybrid xse. This car lives in the shop more than my driveway I'm gonna have to find a way to resale it or trade it in. These camry hybrid are nothing but a headache. Although it's a new car "Yippee Skippy" Who Cares!! It's to the point there's literally more negative about these cars vs positive.
