An OG here. I have a black 2020 model. Aside from the boy racer rear wing and the problematic low front air dam, this is the most grownup car I’ve ever owned. Absolutely thrilled with it. 32mpg at 85mph all day long. Has excellent passing power. Excellent road car for Nana and me. I just ask, if anyone sees a couple of old folks hauling ass down the interstate, kindly move outta of our way.
My wife and I bought the Avalon TRD in 2020, and oh boy the looks you get when you step on the gas pedal. Unfortunately and fortunately for me the Avalon is discontinued, but that just means the TRD model will be a rare bird.
32mpg, more than my 1.6 cla with 120 hp lol :)
@@fathercadi I like the avalon :)
There's no replacement for displacement. Sadly the beloved bread & butter civic sport went to a 1 5 turbo in 2016. Guess they believe my friend who says the smaller the better for mileage ..
@@rstuff1605 Absolutely right! I bought the TRD to replace a Yaris. The reason was.... While the Yaris got excellent mileage around town, it sucked on the interstate. I live in the Ozarks, many elevation changes. Pulling hills with A/C required 3500 to 4000 rpm to maintain momentum. Anyhow, my TRD average combo driving for 25K miles has been 28.3 mpg. And I drive rather aggressively. My only complaint is the frontend paint seems to chip easily. They just don't make paint that can standup to the debris from tailgating folks. Oddly, all my vehicles have weak paint...LOL
I hate how right you are about this camry. I just turned 40 but been eyeing this camry for awhile😆 it still turns my head every time I see it on the road
Glad you recommend it to old guys like me
I bought mine a year ago and am not disappointed at all. I have had zero issues with it and its very fun to drive:)
as long as you are a fan, everything is ok
Did you do any add ons? (Like jbl speakers) extra ports or anything if so do you have a problem with the jbl upgrade/ how’s your sound quality
9:27 WOW does it really sound ????
I watch just to listen to your witty, funny, very entertaining talk and your excellent critiques. You aren't bad looking either. That's a understatement. Thank you.
I love that you say "damper" and not "dampener". One's for cars and one's for garden hoses! :)
You'll surely get more garage space in the afterlife.
something that dampens is called a dampener lmao
Sarah I love you. ❤️ your way of delivering it with enthusiasm and humor comes from a true enthusiast like you
I have not done a baseline dyno but, your exhaust comment made me realized how hard it is to find journalists who know their beans inside out. Suscribed and looking forward to follow your content further.
A neat car! Yes, stiffness is important, especially in the corners, and on twisty roads. Thanks Sarah, another excellent review!
11:32
'Stiffness is so important'
Thank you, Sarah
Yep, I get stiff every time I watch one of her videos!😉
I just got home from a medical visit and here you are! Great review, I enjoy you enjoying a vehicle.
The cam timing is actually VVT-iW allowing the engine to run in a modified Atkinson Cycle mode at low RPM. It also has both direct and port injection (D4S)
On a recent trip I set cruise for 97kph (60mph) and got 42 MPG US or 5.6L/100km. That’s over 620 miles (1000km) on a full tank. I love my V6 XSE though for the better creature comforts.
Sarah, thanks for brightening up the day, your reviews are hilarious, keep it up
SO freakin knowledgeable. Love how enlightening your videos are. Especially the more in depth details.
I watched your video on the gr86 and was amazed at how detailed you were. On top of that, you are hilarious which made the video more enjoyable. Easily the best car reviewer on youtube
Thank you Sarah as a mechanic I started to hate all cars you make it very fun
Great review! I appreciate the prep you put into each review. Very thorough! Also those pants are just rad! Cheers!
Great review Sarah, your unique doing all your reviews
Great review from someone who owns the same exact car you reviewed. I love mine lots and im glad you enjoyed your time with it :D
Great informative videos! Always a pleasure to watch 🙂
0:01, "Stiffness is important", u said the truth, I totaly agree.
Great review Sarah👍👍 Love the way your mind works😏 Love your sense of humor🤡🥳
Bottom bell jeans or whatever they’re called should make a comeback. You look great Sarah
Thank you for an in depth review Sarah! It seems that they took the free reign transmission programming from the Tacoma and applied it here. It takes getting used to.
Excellent video Sarah! As they all are! Huge thank you.
Just discovered you. You're awesome. Love your personality and review! Subscribed
You are delightful, real and fun to watch
such a stellar review! keep it up!
Thanks Sarah for another great video. Your extreme talent and skill is a gift from above. Love you and all what you do. btw, Stiffness IS important. I am proud to say i have followed your channel from day one. Bless you and stay Safe.
In the seat of her pants, so glad to hear that Sarah has a healthy boyfriend. 🤣
The hardest working content creator on TH-cam 😊❤️ much respect ✊
I thought there was a Toyota spoiler alert in there then! 🤔
FACTS 👏 👏!
9:27 WOW does it really sound ????
Great video as usual, that exhaust sounds pretty nice!
I hope to see you check out the Forte GT Manual some time, I have a '21 and I love it.
I have watch your videos for a long time and haven't subscribed, but today Sarah i have, my reason is that your pants matched the TuRDS interior. Your videos are so entertaining and top notch on the techs of what the manufacturers put in there vehicles. TURDS is Toyota underated Racing Technology.
needs to be offered as a manual!
Awd, manual and mass production
@@angelcmr2048 :)
@@angelcmr2048 would kill the gr corolla... They're not ever going to do anything like that
7th gen camrys last one for manual but only the 4cyl
@@blackzacc :(
Have a 2020 in the garage. You have to swap the tail lights. Huge housings that don't light up hardly unless you put the better version tail lights on it. I agree on the supercharger.
LED taillights should never only be on upper trim levels in any car. The tail/brake light is too small for such large assemblies, but still better than my wife's '17 Camry. Also, I personally dislike the trend of using white needles on white gauges, but here they did the same in red - just a form of brutalism.
Love your channel Sarah ❤️ much love to you ❤️
Been waiting for this one! Have been considering the TRD, Sonata N Line, and Kia K5 GT Appreciate the insight!
Cross the Camry off your list lol. A k5 sonata or accord are better vehicles period
Kia and Hyundai provide a lot of car for the money, but their ongoing engine reliability problems would keep me from purchasing them. Their oil consumption problems don't seem to be going away, either.
@@competitiveautomotive5457 Yeah it seems to be the general consensus. Basically narrowed down to either the K5, Sonata, or Elantra. The Accord just ain't for me.
I too think its a great value, well engineered, affordable, fun-ish to drive and own and its stiff too. Wireless charger is a ding but maybe that can be added from the parts bin. Cute outfit.
Excellent work on this review.
I have been looking and this one seems like one to consider. Fabulous review and I love the nails...!
0:13 -- "I'm not a real scientist. This is a lab coat I bought on Amazon for like $15." *WHAT?!!* I feel like I've been LIED TO!! 😏🤣
Lol 😂
loved the review!!
Another great review. Thanks Sarah. I like that u take off the engine covers
Stiffness is important.🐎🐎🐧🐧👍
I really like your car reviews, plus love the way you present the material you are covering. Thanks for making me chuckle a few times in all of your reviews. I always finish watching your videos with a smile. Keep up the great reviews, you are awesome!
great review.. love the styling.. now crack on and finish the ranger.. 😋
I got my metalic black trd camry at the beginning of this month n I love it so much fun to drive n u don't see them all over the road like most cars
Love your reviews and channel Sarah! Great car...
What's the chance you can do a review on the Kia Stinger GT2?
You will love it..
That car sounds like a Lexus V8. My wife loves the red accents and the blue. Impressive car for sure.
I kept thinking it was a honda because of the front end, another great car review, wish other reviewers put in this much effort
I learned a whole bunch about this TRD (coming from a 2017 TRD Taco) treatment in a Camry. Thanks a whole bunch. I rock a 2022 Corolla Hatch with a 6M transmission (old school, old Phart driver) and I’m super happy with this vehicle. Warmest thanks for the knowledge. Cheers and Thanks!!
Thank for being so through. Most informative reviews out there. So glad to see Toyota has the dual injection system that will keep carbon build up to a minimum. Now on the bean score, we talking jellybeans? That would go along with the eye candy theme.
I drive a 2001 LE 4 inline cylinder with 226k miles. I was considering getting one of these but now as I see the GR Corolla releasing, once I graduate and have money I think I am going for that GR. Though these Camry's are sick looking now. Mine as it is it does look sporty with the factory little spoiler which has the 3rd brake light and a sun/moon roof so I always ride with it tilted so it looks sporty. Has some mild issues but still runs so smooth. I do love it.
That opener! 🔥🔥 truth!
I was like... that engine sounds like the 3.5 V6 in the Lotus Evora/Emira... and it is a 2GR variation. The Evora has the 2GR-FE. These are really nice sounding engines. First time I actually heard it coming out of a Toyota.
Actually would love for you to review the Evora GT if you can get your hands on one... if not an Emira after it's hit the streets later this year.
It is still nice to see that Toyota welds together the galvanized exhaust parts. Blowing off the galvanizing and guaranteeing rust, when the could coat/spray those parts SO easily to prevent rust.
The exhaust is all stainless steel. What exhaust parts did you see that were galvanized?
@@tonydavis190 If that's all stainless, then it was just discoloration I saw at the welds. Toyota exhausts used to rot out in places like the muffler intake and output pipes, which were welded to the muffler itself after the pieces were galvanized. Blowing off the galvanizing.
i am a person of Earth.. when studio Sarah went to field Sarah for the PFFfff ! Bean Score, i was left in the dust. Great switch up that caught me sleeping.
Great review! Still love my 2020 TRD.
Sarah, once again, a terrific and thorough review of the car , unlike anybody else out there!! You are single-handedly making a fashion statement by bringing back The Bell bottomed pants of the late 60s !! WOW: 4.6 Penguins !! 5 Cookies. Although this may not be a car for me, it sure does represent to be a True Value for the $$$. Thanks for the video and another opportunity to see you in that Lab coat and Black Glasses. You are the Best Lab Technician on the "Inter-Web".
I owned a 2005 Malibu in my keg stand days. That car was a tank!
Those Camry look sick. Great video Sarah
I had those same tires on my Fusion Sport. I did some research and they were the best tire for sports sedans.
Your innuendos are on FIRE 🔥😬👍🏻
I've been looking for a new car and now am really interested in this. It wasn't on my radar so thanks for the awesome review. I even have the right t-shirt for it. It says "I'm a snowboarding grandpa. That's like a regular grandpa only much cooler"
It's nice that these type of models are still alive in the (not ultra rich client) car world
Hey my early morning tarot reading chams spelled out to me i have to bingewatch your videos today . I agreed . Stay awesome . Snipe on. 🤩
That interior looks great!
I never thought I would say these words, but I may have to check out this Camry. Phenomenal value, incredible mileage for a big V6, and a little bit of fun to drive. Sure, I would rather have a Lexus IS 350, but that is like $20k more!
you are the best car reviewer .
Hood struts causes added weight. I was expecting them to throw in a fiberglass prop rod that rides in the trunk to enhance balance.
This lady is sharp, great presentation
STIFFNESS IS VERY IMPORTANT.. FANTASTIC JOB SARAH... I MYSELF LIKE TOYOTAS ..
Hey Sarah, that’s great the TRD is more than just a sticker and some badging as one could almost let that slide on the Corolla Camry and Avalon but I’m glad Toyota didn’t they really want that option to mean something. I don’t know how long TRD has been a factory option I had a 2000 tundra with TRD off-road and I don’t remember the T100 being available in TRD but I could be wrong. So great you got a lift reading about the upgrades on the car is one thing but being able to point them out in a video takes it to a whole new level especially the way you do it. have a great one as always🐧🐧🐧👍
When you are you gonna do a review on AWD Camry? I would be quite interested on your input. Coming from 2020 FWD to 2022 AWD; there's huge difference.
Love your reviews, glad you shoe the mechanics of the cars, wish they were longer... and discussing better or worse choices in the segment. Thank Sarah.
That exhaust sounds great to me.
Yes, stiffness is important. Other than the exhaust, this is more a kit of TRD's all over. Sounds like it's faster than it is...
Nice review Sarah & I'm definitely diggin' this gen Camry.. Are you planning on reviewing the new Integra? 🤔
“…adds stiffness to the seat of your pants…” 2:52 …then the expression. I cried 😂
Happy Saturday night Sarah. From reading recent comments it would seem that belated birthday wishes were in order, Sounds like you put in the time AGAIN and got to know this car. Clear comprehensive concise and silly. Who could ask for a better review?
The flares are nice.
Those TRD rims are pretty badass for a Camry. Are those available to purchase separately?
That color is awesome! Very periwinkle like.
this is really helpful, thank you.
Maybe the best car reviewer. Nice work
I just got a 2018 Camry and I don't see any differences between these and the 2020s.
Over 40 miles to the gallon always feelsgoodman.
Loved the review.
Sarah, can you please review Honda Accord 2022 and Honda Civic 2022.
Would love to hear your thoughts about them.
And how this Camry stacks against Accord?
The exhaust tunnel and components add wight to the car for sure .lol nice and heavy, thanks BigAl California.
On the shifter ............ nailed it! 11:02
Your awesome and hilarious! I loved this video, very informative and I died of laughing.. Keep up the great work 💅. Much love.
Another fun, informative and entertaining car review. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
This is a kind of Camry I'd buy. Though I feel this urge after watching almost every Sarah's review. Also blue is my favourite colour, and this kind of blue looks cool, especially with the black rims.
I like the red trim
I don't imagine anyone would buy any trim level of Camry for driving on a racetrack, but just give it a performance transmission, and this car would be perfect. Would a manual transmission be too much to ask for? I guess we just have to buy a used Accord for that.
also, a TRD supercharger would be great. Just a 100 extra hp!
It had a manual but it was terrible so it was removed
A MK7 GLI will do nicely.
Sport mode on SE let's you do assisted manual, where you can shift yourself but the computer assists if you forget to shift on time.
9:27 WOW does it really sound ????
Love the car and I love your videos! Finally a real car, not a electric drill.
A couple months ago I bought a 2020 Toyota Camry SE Nightshade and wanted a TRD really bad but couldn't afford it so I figured I'd see what I thought of The Camry in general and maybe consider buying a TRD in the future. I LOVE my Camry and am defintley gonna snatch up a TRD when I can afford it if they're still available or if they lower down in price
If it came with a manual 6 speed it would be something greater by alot. Toyota could put this car onto alot more of a drivers car feel with such.
lets hope toyota release a GR model in the near future
yes make a stick shift! as mine old black loud 1999 Camry TRD is stick!
I need u to get an Integra!!! I want to know if u think it's a better choice over the civic si
great vid.. do you get fiesta st over there btw? would love to see that.
Great video and review! Very funny!! 😉👍😎🏴
Soon you do review at corolla gr😍 This was very much fun review too!😎
i have a 2015 yoda camry and a 2021 bronco. i freaking love both of them and feel completely validated now 😬
I likevit in this color, but the rear seat not folding down is a deal breaker, unless it would be an extra fun care. The rear deck spoiler is a little extreme, and it lacks lots of options and features, and the rear seat crnter armrest. But the pluses is now it has the optionsl JBL stereo and even the SE has a map pocket on the left/driver's seat back. A rarity nowadays. But zi eould probably just be happy with a Camry SE, and fix it up a bit. Great review, as always.
Thank you Sarah!
