I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with your 2020 Camry. That's really disappointing, especially considering Toyota's reputation for reliability. What issues did you encounter with it?

@@netnuk A lot from transmission, cruise, air conditioner, gas gauge and much more. Normal according to Toyota when I brought up the lemon law. No one in the family wanted to drive it anymore after it slammed on the brakes on the highway for no reason. It almost got us rear ended a couple times.

@@OnlyMeee-ie3dw I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. It's important to feel safe and confident in your vehicle. Given your situation, it might be worth looking into a different manufacturer with a strong reputation for customer service and reliability. Before making your next purchase, consider checking reviews and speaking to other owners about their experiences. Additionally, always ensure you thoroughly test drive the vehicle under various conditions to catch any potential issues early. If you continue to face challenges, consulting with a consumer protection agency or legal expert about your rights under the lemon law might be beneficial.

@@netnuk I replaced it with a 10 year old Ford. It hasn't given me one problem after three times the miles I put on the Toyota. Glad I didn't buy a Tacoma or Tundra! Never thought I'd like a Ford more than a Toyota. Of course, it's old and not a newer Ford.

@@OnlyMeee-ie3dw It sounds like you made a great choice with that Ford! Sometimes older vehicles can be surprisingly reliable, especially when well-maintained. It’s good to hear it’s been problem-free for you. It’s always nice to find a car that you can depend on. Here’s to many more miles of smooth driving with your Ford! ❤️

Its not a new camry!Its 2024 model😂😂 I already bought a 2025 two weeks ago.

I’m looking to purchase the XSE. The dependability has always been good, I like the design and the infotainment system is understandable. The downside is the head room in the back, especially if you’re tall at 6’. It handled like a sports car even though it puts out only 232 horsepower. However, the torque is great and it feels faster than the specs.

@@michaelkugler9311 The XSE is a great choice! It has a sleek design and a lot of nice features. It's good to hear that you appreciate its dependability and the infotainment system. The headroom can be a bit tight, but overall, it sounds like a solid option. Have you taken it for a test drive yet to see how it feels?

@@netnukyes! We went ahead and decided to purchase one. My wife wants this midnight blue color, which they did not have in stock, so the dealer is trying to get one from another location. One other aspect I thought was important with the XSE is AWD. We compared it to the Honda Accord and Mazda. Based on Toyota’s longevity in hybrid experience, we thought best to stick to Toyota. The price tag about floored us though. Expensive is understatement. If my daughter’s car hadn’t died, we wouldn’t have purchased a car period. However, one can save $5K per year in gas at or near 45mpg. What truly set it apart from the rest was its styling hand handling. You do feel the road, but I like that. My wife on the other hand prefers a smoother ride like her 2018 Avalon. Overall, I give Toyota credit for styling and dependability. The colors in the interior have a nice sporty design, but be prepared a whopping $45K for it after fees. Amazing that a 2.5 4cylinder hybrid could cost as much as some Cadillacs out there. Inflation for you

@@michaelkugler9311 It sounds like you made a well-considered choice! The midnight blue XSE with AWD is a great pick. Toyota’s longevity and hybrid tech make it stand out, despite the high cost. With 45 mpg, you'll save a lot on gas. The styling and handling seem perfect for you, while your wife prefers the smoother ride of her Avalon. Hopefully, the dealer gets the exact model you want soon! Enjoy the new ride!

It sounds like you’ve done extensive research on this SUV, and it's great to hear that you’ve only come across one negative review since it hit the market. Regarding the interior color, it's true that some options might not be available in the US. It could be worth checking with the dealer for custom options or aftermarket solutions if you’re set on that specific color.

@@netnuk . It looks like a nice car, since people have bad opinions about Hyundais I think it’s like how you treat your car . It looks like a long term car . I mean I have a ford focus 07 292k miles and it’s still running smooth . People usually keep saying it’s trash :)

Absolutely, maintenance is key! Every car's longevity depends on how well you take care of it. It's great to hear your Ford Focus is still running smoothly at 292k miles! 🚗💨

I understand your frustration. The shift towards smaller, turbocharged engines is often driven by manufacturers trying to meet fuel efficiency and emissions standards. However, this can sometimes feel out of step with consumer expectations, especially when reliability and cost are concerns. It's definitely a topic that sparks a lot of debate among car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. What kind of engine or features do you think auto manufacturers should focus on instead?

@@netnuk I'll put it like this . If I could buy a basic truck with Crank windows I would. People don't need HUGE Displays, Heated Seats, Cooled Seats, and All these Cameras. Back to basics. Keep it Simple Keep it Stupid reliable.

I understand your frustration with turbo trucks. It's great to hear that you find the 3rd gen Tacoma to be very reliable despite the trend. Your input is valuable-thanks for sharing!

I understand your disappointment with the changes to the new Tacoma and RAM 1500. It's tough to see such iconic models evolve away from what we love. Don't give up on your dreams, though-a crate engine swap could be a great way to keep the performance you want. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@@D2023bmjust fyi, the 2.4L turbo is not new… Toyota and Lexus have been using this motor for years. If you want it to last, take care of it as you would any vehicle. Enjoy your old v6. The new truck is better than the previous in nearly every single measurable way. Better mpg, better power, better head room, better looking (in my opinion). No one is forcing you to buy something you don’t want, but all these people freaking out about reliability or “price changes” seem more content to whine and make a fuss than actually being objective. The price is the price, and it’s the same as it always was (did you all forget about inflation)? Perhaps fewer people in general aren’t buying vehicles right now because financing interest rates are still very high, and if you have a newer gen 3 taco, you likely don’t need a new vehicle anyway! Toyota also has one of the worst car buying experiences due to the lack of ability to “build your own.” Because of their ridiculous allocation system, what’s on the lot is what you have to choose from. Dealerships use this as an excuse for adding markups to the vehicles they get fewer numbers of, and they like to put add-ons like lift kits or LoJack systems on their more base models to keep their profits high on those as well.

@@netnuk the voice over b roll format is essentially the ai generated recipe… if there is actual human involvement behind the content, make it more of a bespoke material. The first sign of a content farmed video, many people will just skip it.

@@Yoyomanmanholla Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your perspective and will definitely work on making my content feel more personalized and authentic. My goal is to provide valuable and engaging material, and your input helps me improve.

Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Agree

This is an unbiased review based on my observations and research. I aim to provide an honest assessment to help potential buyers make informed decisions. Your feedback is important, and I appreciate your perspective!

Thank you for your feedback..

The Kia and Hyundias are garbage

Absolutely! You make a great point! Atkinson cycle engines with direct and port injection, without turbochargers, can indeed contribute to long-term vehicle reliability. It's all about educating people on the importance of engine design for longevity. I will make a video for the new Accord soon, and we can all benefit if it's truly reliable. Looking forward to it!

I went from the Venza Hybrid to the Highlander 4 cylinder turbo. The turbo makes it so much better. On average, the turbos last 150,000 miles. The new Toyota turbos should last longer. Unlike many turbos, the engine does not have to be removed to replace the turbo. No turbo lag.

@@paulstein9258 It sounds like you had a smooth transition from the Venza Hybrid to the Highlander 4-cylinder turbo! That's great to hear that you're enjoying the turbo's performance and durability. Thanks for sharing your experience and insights about the longevity and convenience of replacing the turbo. It's valuable information for anyone considering a similar upgrade!

Why?

Because every car loses value over time

The Toyota Corolla Cross is a comfortable, practical subcompact SUV packing plenty of safety features

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid in the US has a 2.0-liter engine and standard AWD, while Thailand's version features a 1.8-liter engine in two hybrid trims and one combustion trim. Thailand's model has a redesigned exterior, which could hint at future updates for the US version.

C Cross was released in Thailand way before the launch in the US. So it makes sense for the US to keep the facelift for the next year model. You don't want to update a car too frequently. C Cross of Southeast Asia should have gotten the 2.0L engine. More horses wouldn't hurt. But Toyota still gives the old stuff to southeast Asian customers.

Absolutely! It's interesting how releases can vary by region. And you're right, keeping a balance with updates is key. Hopefully, Southeast Asian customers will see some exciting upgrades soon!

@bunmeng007 The electric motor was updated to give it a bit more power, so the difference in horse power would be negligible.

@@carlosmcse not true. The total combined HP of both engine and electric motor is fewer than the ICE. The Atkinson cycle make the engine produce less power

Exploring off-road can add a whole new dimension to your journey! Just make sure to prep your vehicle and stay safe out there.

Thanks

Thank you for your comment! Indeed, AMG's V8 engines continue to impress, delivering both power and performance despite increasingly stringent emissions regulations.

Hey there! Thanks for your keen observation! The Xbus does share some sleek vibes with the GOEV Bulldog and Benz. Exciting choices! If only I could make those purchases for you! 😄

@@netnuk I was able to make The GOEV Canoo Bulldog deposit /purchase. The other Xbus is not finding a link to do it

Have you checked the official website or contacted their customer support for assistance with the deposit/purchase process? They might provide you with the necessary information or guidance to complete the transaction.

At first I thought he was being satirical

Absolutely!

That mix of raw speed and everyday usability sounds like a thrilling combination behind the wheel!
