- With a sales consistency of over 400,000 units annually, there is no denying just how important the Camry is to Toyota. With its strong combination of practicality and a reputation for reliability, its not hard to see why Camry buyers are some of the most loyal in the industry. Just remember that a new model is right around the corner and some rivals are simply more engaging to drive.
I will give props to Toyota for keeping a 6-speed auto for the Camry and not following the CVT bullshit like the Accord and Altima.
masterwhopper414 My accord touring has a Traditional 6speed auto tranny.. only 4 cylinder accords have the cvt. mine is on my channel btw.
masterwhopper414
at least honda and nissan gives you choises.
+jmanyes That's not true. You can only get an Altima with a CVT transmission.
KentB27
oh didn't know that lol
I know the V6 does, but not the 4-banger.
I test drove the V6 model of this and got yelled at by the car salesmen for going to fast in it. Immediately turned around and drove back to the dealership. Fuck that guy.
lol all you haters leaving negative comments but you probably can't even afford to finance this Camry
Yovany Mora
let the suckers pay full price for this. you can buy one for half the msrp price the following year and less than 30k miles and still under warranty.
+Yovany Mora Yeah, that's super smart to assume how much money people have when you have literally zero evidence to back your statement up.
OMG .. what do you mean can't afford.. its only 30K??? Just stating that Toyota can do better and should be doing better. There are more ground breaking cars out there. ( as stated in the video). Toyota should step up there game. As consumers we should expect a lot when paying 30K or 50 K or 80 K for a car. By calling us haters .. just means you will except Toyota for bring out a product that is not on the level as others and are ok with that.
while i agree with you, there are elements that i see that needs updates.
Yeah, I can't afford a $27,000 car, blahahaha
Toyota Camry: gas hood struts. Mercedes CLA: metal prop.
I like hood struts, my 08 camrys strut went out and all I had to do was buy a pair from eBay for $16 lol
I actually like how this generation Camry drives. I had a '16 as a rental and it performed just fine. Sure, the styling is pretty bland, and the interior is completely utilitarian, but in terms of driving dynamics it actually performs pretty well. It corners pretty flat, the steering has decent weight to it and it points the car where you want it to go, the engine gets the vehicle up to speed nicely after exiting a corner, and the transmission shifts like silk and it does a good job at reading your inputs. It's not like other Toyotas where you have to floor it to get a small downshift. Everything is smooth, responds well, and the handling provides a level of confidence and solidity that you didn't get from previous Camry's. It's a good car for the class that it's in. Other than the interior, I'm not sure why it gets downplayed so much.
I drive a black on black 2015 XSE V6 that I bought new two years ago & I still love it just as much as when I first drove it off the lot! It has everything I've always wanted & more! My mom drives a gray on gray 2017 XLE 4-cylinder with the convenience package that I recommended for her & she loves it very much! Both our cars are always parked next to each other in the garage & there are a lot of differences in the looks both inside & out as well as the way they both drive & ride which is a good thing!
Why you didn't purchase a Kia Optima SXL instead?
No V6.
I know im a yr late but do they make a manual transmission for the xse?
@@osoblizz7937 Toyota hasn't offered a manual on the Camry since 2011.
@@osoblizz7937
2011 was the last year for a manual Camry, and I think it's a 4 cylinder engine only.
Honda did a V6 manual on the Accord for a few years.
Bought mine new in 2016 and still looks/ drives as day 1. I looooove this car!!!
Ready to sell yet?
I recently bought one, are you still happy with it?
At 7:28 I laughed so hard 😂😂 he turned the music off so fast
You should not have criticized the headrests. On the contrary, Toyota should be praised for that. The reason is that most cars today have pushed the headrests so far forward (Based on Federal mandate) that a lot of people finding them very intruding and uncomfortable (including myself) (you can google that). I’m talking about people that like to have their seat back a little upright, not reclined way back. Some of the cars that have these headrest complains include Accords and Mazdas. I’m sure more cars are also like that. So again, thank you Toyota for positioning the headrest correctly.
Six years ago today!!! Thinking of buy one.
Go for it! My mom has a 2017 XLE 4-cylinder since new now with 78k miles & has been problem free so far as expected. I had a 2015 XSE V6 that I bought new in 2015 (my brother has it now as I upgraded to a 2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport three years ago). Great cars!
It's missing $44,000 worth of options!?
Lmao
I caught that, too. I actually like it just as it is, without the sunroof and extra cost safety options, and keyed ignition, which is more secure and less things to go wrong with that package and the convenience package with the keyless ignition.
It doesn't have the latest, updated version of the JBL stereo with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Clarify, the latest TNGA chassis platform and the updated 4 cylinder engine with more HP, but it has the more reliable 6 Speed transmission that albeit has less fuel economy, which is minimal, seems to run smoother, less problematic shifting, have more durability and longevity. And the 2017 XSE body is nicer, and not too overdone, and the 18" wheels and tires are more practical than the 19" due to being more durable. If I could get this car new, as is, it would be great. But the black interior and seats with the red stitching would be the only thing I would opt for, if I could, but the grey interior is fine. As far as the handling, I think added better performance shocks like Bilstein would improve that a lot.
I bought a '17 XLE. Best car I've owned so far. Fit, finish, build quality, performance... all excellent. This will be a great vehicle for the next decade. At which point it will make a great used car for the next owner.
Do you still have it?
Is the improved suspension sporty enough, or should I get the SE/XSE?
8:42 the armrest does indeed slide, you have to pull the lever and it slide forward 6 inches
Personally, I still prefer a regular key instead of push button start. It's a cool little gimmick at first, but the problem is that they are known to break later on (typically after the warranty runs out). It's nothing more than planned obsolescence.
Really?
that key lock cylinder can wear out too. it happened in my 1993 corolla a few years ago. luckily, it wasn't a security chip key so i could DIY cheaply.
It's at least 600 to fix that if not more when it breaks too
Going up to the top trim of XSE and still Toyota doesn't give you a smart key standard?
This generation Camry is the best looking to me.
Sofyan, just because you test a lot of cars with push button start, doesn't mean a key is "old school". Keys are still in fashion. Personally would prefer one but please don't down it because it's "old school".
Troubled Drivers Of Florida yeah I’d rather have a standard chip key than a damn fob that costs 300+ bucks to replace. You can replace a chip key for $50 or less. I agree with you
Great car. The V6 would be the one for me with black interior.
did we get to a point so soon where you need to explain how to "turn the key" to start lol
The arm rest actually slides, you just need to hold the release of arm rest, which is actually very interesting design.
Xiaochen Li I came here to say the same thing. I have a 2016 SE and my armrest stays in the forward position.
"Grandma who buys this car is going to get in this thing and know exactly how to use it" ahahaha as someone who worked at a dealership, I can tell you this is not the case
I bought this car for one thing
R E L I A B I L I T Y
Yep and the 2.5L 4-Cyl will last even longer than the V6 and have enough power
Not to drive lol
As much of a fan as I am of Mazda, I'm so glad Toyota gave enough of a shit to give the front AND rear seats good passenger headroom. They also gave the Camry really good rear visibility as well. It doesn't have that unnecessary upwards swoop to the body line to ruin the visibility. Just a nice crisp flat line from the front to the rear. I might actually be interested in buying this for my next car, even though it's more of an on road appliance.
I would wait a few months and grab the 2018 model. They'll probably out it some time this year anyway.
Starkiteckt Designs Get the latest ones always, so that it can hold better reliability and resale value.
I've seen other reviewers complain about the uncomfortable seat the camry has. I recall a few of them saying it's a firm seat. What's your opinion on it if you can recall the seating feel?
BPEK Supra Interactive We found the actual seats to be fine. Nothing super aggressive but we don't like how the headrest do not come forward enough to support our necks. Try them yourself and see if they work for you.
The XSE seats are better than the XLE ones.
Review a 2017 Lincoln Navigator Reserve.
BPEK Supra Interactive Do not worry, the 2018 Camry has Sporty /Luxurious seats with great position to place your hip and also head.
Seats are very comfortable. In my humble opinion.
The ignorance of some of these comments is amazing. The Toyota Camry is not meant to be a 3 series, mustang or SS killer. The mission of the Camry is simple to provide people with reliable, comfortable transportation to get from A to B. With good gas mileage and people who don't really want to stand out in the crowd. It's exceeds in that mission. I personally would wait for the 2018 models as I think the interior is improved big time.
I had test drove a 2016 Toyota Camry SE yesterday and it was just an ordinary vehicle with everyday features, and, surprisingly, there was no push button start only an "old-school" key fob. The power was modest yet enough for non-enthusiasts with the exception of flooring the car for desired power.
I just got a 2017 Toyota Camry SE with a sunroof definitely a fun to drive car
Is a 2017 Toyota Camry 6 speed with 75,000 miles for 13,000 worth buying?
@SRT Roach fuck a car fax hahaha 🤣
"so incredibly old school" I never understood why push button start became a thing, it feels much less like you're doing the work of starting the car. Something like that. I don't know it just doesn't feel right.
And if the batteries die or you break your fob while away from home, good luck.
i own a XSE camry and the arm rest slides!
Andy Jung what’s the difference between the 2017 se and xse?
O Love XSE has bigger rims, auto dual zone climate control, bigger screen, sunroof on some models, suede seat inserts, heated seats. It's the better option in the long run but I own an SE because it was much cheaper and it's not bad.
WretchedDrake thank you!!!
WretchedDrake lol I see you on all the videos about this car
Wonder where he got this one from.
Thank you for great reviews and well thoughtful covering all aspects . I have a question. Does it matters if you buy 2017 model but the manufacture date is Nov 2016? Does it depreciate more compared to one having manufactured year same as model?
Always loved the front of the 2015-17 models, don't really care for the back. It doesn't even offer LED tail lights when all its competitors have it... I do appreciate how Toyota gives you an option to have a V6 on the SE & XSE models, unlike Honda with the Accord Sport... & mostly people buy the Camry in the Sporty trims (mostly SE), because it looks better in the front than the non-sporty ones
Baasil F. I got a 2015 model and installed LED tail light bulbs. They're bright red and clear. Much better than the incandescent bulbs.
I’d rather use 2$ bulb replacement then 700$ taillights each when the led goes bad but to each their own
Soft handling and soft steering that's Camry's way it's its signature. Some people like that. Toyota is keeping its tradition.
That key fob needs to be upgraded.
Chris Gnay Why? A key is a key...it starts the car. Why does it matter how it looks?
Chris Gnay a key fob shouldn't be the reason why you buy a car..
“Grandma who buys this car..” YO MY MAN....chill, I was thinking of buying a used xse V6 but now you got me feeling like a boomer for even CONSIDERING this thing
Just wait for the 2018.
I love the the looks of the 18 camry however not a fan of their new 8 speed transmission.
Hmmm I have a 2016 Corolla now but i def want to trade it in for a Camry next year
release date for the 18?
I can because it is ugly as hell.
Kool Acclaimed™ ha!! funny comment!
2018
this fall
I have a 2017 xle and its any exact carbon copy of 2014 lexus es350. Smooth as silk, 550 miles a tank and 37 to 40 mpg is what i average . interior is cheap in sections for what I paid and eas expecting. I have a 2015 pathfinder as who that's a lower trim., but that has few extra options that my Camry doesn't have. but the new 2018 one coming out might be a trade in. They are great cars if your not doing fast and furious, which if your driving anything but a lil eco box your not looking four that anyways. Great review as always!
Dave Lusk only 550 miles on a tank? im surprised. my v6 accord went 650 miles before the gas light illuminated. i could have easily went 700 miles.
LifeHacks4All
correct that was the best, started with 570, and dc traffic and I 95 driving gave me that end result. I've even tried to hyper mile it, and 40 was the best. winter time is my only experience. I've had it for few months, maybe better come spring and summer driving. The Honda is a great looking car, that is fantastic mpg! I also love the Avalon, so if the wife doesnt like that or the new Camry, well just keep this pine for a few years.
Dave Lusk well it the best mileage ive been able to get is 43 mpg. but the reason the v6 accords gas mileage is so high is because it turns into a 3 cylinder when cruising on the highway.
LifeHacks4All cyl deactivation. great thing! I used tho scoff at the 4 door sedans, but edging near 40 now and lil more comfort and thrifty sipping eco mpg is great in my book. The 4 cyl isn't bad as stated inn video, its great when thou get going and on highway! But right off the start, it is a tad anemic. That's where the honda, Maxima, would reallt be telling in my opinion
Lol
Mr Sofyan, are you gonna be reviewing the new 2017 impreza soon?
Can you compare the 2018 to the 2017
I always enjoy the little music he put when showing the car;💯☝️
They are running $6000 off sticker here in Ga and that is before you wheel and deal on a sale price.
I saw this color in person. It pops!!!!
so exactly what cars is he referring to as being more "modern"?? mazda 6? accord?
This must be still my very first car to afford.
never thought of getting a camry .. till I saw the 2018 .. that camry looks great.
RelaX the Camry XSE especially. The 2018 looks and red interior are just intoxicating to me 😍
Great Review. I am really anxious to see the redesign of this car on the road and certainly see its upgrades in action.
Go slow over bumps the shocks are very loose and it’s easy to bottom out over hills etc at higher speeds. You’ll find yourself getting like 2 inches of air
Two inches of air. Riiiiiiiight 😉
I dont get why he would bitch about toyota not having a push button start all the time in almost his every single toyota review... Cause in fact it does offer it as an option but his tester just didnt equip with it. Besides, even IF this car didnt come with the push button start, so what? The base wrx doesnt come with a push button start (and the limited didnt even come std with that, you have to get the navigation package to get the push button start), the base brz doesnt come with a push button start, didnt see him complaining and saying that they are "old school" or "such old technology". Also, the push button start is just a fancy function that is cool to have but it doesnt improve the quality of the ride. Anyways, just my 2 cents.
I wonder how reliable a dual clutch made by toyota would be. That would make a nice addition to the SE and XSE models.
what's with the name family sedan, I never got that! probably just as many people that own a Camry and drive a Camry are single and don't even have a family. You might as well call a Mercedes E-Class sedan a family sedan and then why not, it has the same amount of seats, maybe the family has a little bit more money! just call it what it is, it's a mid size sedan!
Same here! Never understood how a sedan could even be considered a “family” car
River Denair Because they are cheap cars that mommies and daddies buy to save money on a car /gas while their kids destroy the interior
Plot Dot Lmao
My grandma love her Camry and Taxi drivers in NYC.
I like the head rest in the 17 vs the 18, as they push the back of your head forward to much and in a accident you neck area would keep going backward. Not a good design.
The new cars has a lot more features but how is the new 8 cyl going to hold up in the long run, lets wait and see. The car dealers remind me of other industries who offer more fluffy inside the car...bling for your buck and less quality under the hood.
I love the camry and have owned several but I don't like the way Toyota using all the other car brands like bmw, mazda, subaru and then slapping a Toyota name on them, but its the way of the world Money over quality.
You guys should put your social media pop up text in the lower left corner or top right corner in white text so it's easier to read
Im actually looking for this exact model and features let me know if youre selling this one. Nice color option also.
Nice review... Wondering "quiet running because it doesn't have direct injection?" I had no idea direct injection made more noise.
the light color part of the seat is the part that gets most dirty.....how about make that part black and make the black parts grey
Regarding mileage, I have a new 2017 XLE and just made a trip from Raleigh to Atlanta and back. Average mileage was 37mpg. The EPA ratings are very conservative for this car.
the 2015-2017 body style is kinda a disappointment because there’s no sporty body style. it’s just plain jane. you can’t really tell the trim differences like how the 2007-2011 & 2012-2014 had sporty body kits on the SE trims.
I love the sound quality of your microphone tech.
Well this review came out of nowhere. I'm looking forward to watching it.
Song between 0:30 and 1:00?
It's March 2020, and I wish I could get one of these cars new, just like your tester. Same blue color with the JBL stereo system with the CD player. It looks nice without being overdone like the 2018 and later XSE, though I still like those, and it doesn't have all the latest tech, and upgraded 4 cylinder engine with 25 more Hzp, but it doesn't have the $10K+ higher price tag, but it's would be just fine for me. Nice and simple. And the 6 Speed transmission is a better one that the newer 8 speed, albeit not as good gas mileage.
I know it's not the best handling without the newer chassis platform, but probably on par or better than my previous 1984 Buick GN, mu 2000 Chevy Impala LS, and 2006 Chevy Impala SS. I would probably get better high performance shocks, like Bilsteins, maybe a performance dual exhaust and smoke tinted windows, and it would be perfect for me. I will probably be getting a new Honda Civic Sport Sedan, which would probably be the best new sporty and reliable car for me at an even more affordable price, and well equipped for that price point, and even available with a 6 Speed, if you can find one.
Keep up the good work with all your awesome review videos. Stay safe, happy, and healthy.
I have this exact car !!!! And came to look at the video a year later .
Yes, buy a 2017 with the 6 speed transmission. The eight speed, is garbage!

Hi can you do a critic on the Carvanna dealership? All the best Shaun of NYC
Never a bad option but I am always shocked at how well it outperforms the competition. Doesn't make sense to me especially when the Accord looks so much higher end. Along with the new Optima and Mazda6.
TheAdventureMazda
great choices! I don't think you could really pick a bad one. But people of a certain age will think, Kia, its a cheap Korean car and will sink with resale value. no matter how many awards and writer reviews it may win.
I went with the other 450k people who bought a camry last year. value, and ride, mpgs were my intrests. Again lots of others may pick better for their choice in options
my grandma appreciates big buttons
This is better than the old Camry 😩🔥
And you didn't use the paddle shifters to try them out?
bought this for the wife. she likes it. definitely a wife car.
guru gara Agreed, even if Fiat launches a Sedan too!
Get the V6.. its not a wife car different beast
Toyota4Life look wise
tommieboi707 however more women drive small crossovers like the RAV4 and CRV
Never buy the 2015-2017 model of toyota camry they look hideous and look more like corolla than a camry. Buy 2012-2014 models they look better in general or if you want more expensive go straight to 2018 model which looks sexy af
I AGREE !! I bought the wife a 2014 SE V6 with factory body kit and 18 inch wheel. It looks so much better than the plain round style looking 2015-2017 Camry which she thought was an older model!
I hope the 2018 XSE with 4 cylinders comes with anything but project headlights.
Yes, i meant projector halogen. Thanks for the correction.
troy192000channel use proper words sir
I see these a lot more as taxis than actual consumer owners in NY.
Come to south Florida. There are loads and loads of owners (including myself) on the road with these. The taxi drivers here use the Prius and Ford Fusion more than any other car.
When are you going to review the new 540i?
waiting for the 2018 model review
What brand phone mount do you use in that car?
Has Chrysler scheduled the new Pacifica with you guys yet?
Patrick Jewell Yes! We have it scheduled for testing next month
Is the new Camry 4 cylinder quicker than the accord sport 4 cylinder ?
The 4 cylinder Camry and 4 cylinder accord in a drag race are about as even as it gets. However, around town while driving normally, the accord will feel like it is quite a lot brisker, it feels like it has a lot more torque. Trust me, I own a 2013 accord 2.4, and I've driven the 2015 Camry many many times for weeks at a time. But if you want to go with the v6, the Camry is much better. The accord with the v6 is disappointing, I test drove it and just didn't feel enough of a difference from the 4. The Camry with the 6 really pulls, hard. The hybrids are quite the opposite story, where the Camry is just flat out bad, where the Honda is amazing ( for a hybrid, I would just go with the 4 cylinder). Overall, on the 4 cylinders, get the accord. I hate CVTs, but Honda makes the best in the business, and it also gets much better gas mileage. For the 4 cylinder and hybrid, get the accord, but for the v6 , get the Camry
Cole Lockridge the new accords v6 does 0-60 in 5.7-5.8 seconds which is quick
Anybody know if the 2017 Camry has the soy based bioplastic wiring issue?
thank god, Toyota finally made a Camry that doesn't remind me of a taxi!!! Don't get me wrong though, i have always loved Camry and Toyota for that matter, but its just that in the couple last years, they have reminded me too much of a boring taxi, FINALLY SOME SPORTY AND APPEALING DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS!!!
Can you review a 2017 ford explore
Toyota has a lot of options if you want something that this model doesn't have you can get it in another model!
Hello!I am a viewer from Malaysia,Hyundai Motor Malaysia has been launch Hyundai Ioniq in my country on about mid last year.Can you do the review for Hyundai Ioniq?Thank You!
if Nissan took the CVT out of the Altima they would outsell the Camry.
BryB I don't think so. Toyota Camry has been the top selling sedan for the past 20 years.
Yeah, I don't think so... Camry would stay the winner.
BryB only Altima I like is the 2019 one
Let me give you my opinion on this car . I am qualified to give my opinion because I had this car since may 2016 and put 25,000 miles on it this car is I have the v6 and both struts went bat at 10,000 miles the brake pedal is broken where as when you push the brake the brake lights stay on the seats are uncomfortable and the plastics in the car are cheaply made.
I Love Toyota Camrys.
When is your xc90 review
do a review for the Toyota Avalon
"The interior was refreshed significantly for 2015." Yet it looks the same as it did for the 2012 to 2014 models.
Is the new Camry still gonna offer the v6
Smokey BEAR
yes, for now
$800 extra from an LE to an SE for a stiffer ride, why would you?
no first impressions?
Audio Quality???
As a driver of a 2007 Camry, the numb steering kinda goes away after you put 209,000 miles on it; By that i mean you learn to feel it. This car isn't and never tried to be a sporty car and i don't know why try to compare them to the sport line from Honda.
Shawn Merrill this is the Camry X SE... so the equivalent to the Accord Sport.
I think it gets compared to the honda a lot because the honda is just as solid, just as practical, AND is a mildly sporty drive. It like, if honda can do it, why can't toyota? I drive a 2003 accord with 214,000 miles, and after so much time with it, I just don't really get why so many people choose camrys instead. I guess camrys are quieter, which would be nice. The road noise does get annoying on long trips
They make zero effort to make the XSE Camry sporty (with the exception of that jewel of a V6). The Accord is on sport suspension, the Camry is literally the same thing but slightly stiffer.
Honestly I think the Camry is just as good as the Honda Today, however I would choose an 03 Accord over an 03 Camry. I have some road noise in my 07 Camry, Which i heard was basically eliminated in 09.
My 07 is on Firestone FR710s. That is a traction tire and makes driving this Camry so much fun, Just wish the body roll wasn't so bad.
And to top it off its WAY safer, those super grippy tires have saved me a few time while avoiding other people trying to kill me on the road.
I can't stress enough how many people do car reviews are so aggresive when shifting the car from park to drive. Be gentle with it, you don't have to Dominick toretto the shifter
Did he say its V4 ?
