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.

Toyota is failing
Cons

Many negatives about these cars

Overpriced pile of scrap metal.. It's a oversized lemon. Recalls of glory!! This vehicle is not even fun to drive. The interior is very cheap, hard rock seats like the flintstones lol. Stereo sucks, just a tablet on the dashboard. Transmission noise, squeaky brake pads. Value deprecating pretty fast for being a new junker car.

MASSIVE RECALLS CAMRY HYBRIDS
Pros

None

Cons

Terrible Reliability

2025/2026 Over a 55k Toyota camry hybrids are facing recalls. Transmission to Transaxle bolt they claim. Inverter defect serious fire risk of crash or injury. Squeaky brakes, pivots on windshield could cause cracks. Battery hybrid system not holding correct voltage. These vehicles are terrible and definitely not worth getting involved. Higher cost for auto insurance as well.

Pathetic Quality Build
Pros

Trunk space

Cons

Transmission, Engine, Stereo, Seats

Very disappointed in this car, and the overall experience. Nothing but recalls, plus other etc things. Nothing but engine hybrid battery problems, the transmission making a weird sound. The interior is really cheap, hard plastic pieces making crackling sounds. The stereo has problems, slow bluetooth and strange glitches going on.

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.
