How do you like this Camry base model? With less bells and whistles comes less things to worry about. Still, it’s efficient, spacious enough, and practical overall.
If you want pizazz..here’s the XSE V6 video: th-cam.com/video/VYpu0yV555w/w-d-xo.html
It’s not about pizazzzz. It’s about price! The XSE V6 is 39-40k. Literally 15 thousand more. Is that XSE V6 worth 15k more?? NNNOOOOO
@@samanthajames9773 I’d say it’s worth it
Because it’s the only naturally aspirated v6 midsize sedan left
Also keep in mind that the reason the Camry can get pricey vs it’s competitors is because the Camry has a wider variety of customization and ways to mix and match packages
Has all the basics that are needed at a decent price.It is nice that they give you many different models for different people.I remember when the Camry came out in 1983.Manual transmission and manual windows and locks with steel wheels.Times have changed.Nice review
@@emeyer6963 IIRC the 1990 Camry offered a blue interior that tbh I kinda like
@@naveenthemachine My Dad had an '89 LE V6 in Red pearl with a Burgandy leather interior that looked nice when it was new.
No push button start. I'll take the key every day of the week over a button.
how come?
@@city4l377button push start systems when they break down are more expensive to fix and the key fob are more expensive too. Plus normal keys are way easier to copy and you don’t need to worry if your keyless fob runs out of battery.
Toyotas are the king of vehicles reliability, I bought a Camry LE model new in 2008 and til today it still runs and drive like the days I bought it. Currently it has 90k miles, drive better then most new cars hat I have driven. Hats off to Toyota!!!
I actually like the front grill on the base vs. the higher end mesh. The mesh looks tacky.
I now love the LE grill vs the 2018 and the SE yucky black funky mesh grill
I bought a new XLE.. I liked it better as well.. The sport trim grills are a lot more busier..
The LE and XLE are what I call the “old people trim levels” but I can see why older people love them. They ride smoooooth
Nah, we just hate how the SE and XSE taillights are emo and cry all the time.
@@anthonys8923 those ugly little fake vents under the tail lights are pretty well hidden on my SE because the car is black lol
Regarding the 8 speed transmission at video 12:48 , the transmission learns how you accelerate, drive and tailors to the driver. So if you are a new owner to a pre owned Toyota and don’t like how it’s shifting based on previous owner, simply take it to dealer and ask them to reset memory on the transmission. As the new owner drives his vehicle , you will notice a considerably huge difference in shifting as the transmission is learning your driving habits.
I learned a lot from following the car care nut, a master technician Toyota if you are a Toyota owner.
Thank you
You are exactly right about the transmission. I'm subscribed to the Car Nut as well he is one of the best technicians you can watch.. He will also answer your personal questions... Which most will not do..
Thanks so much for this info!
It took about a month from my used 2019 36k miles. Just keep driving it will reset
In 2001, I leased a new CE Camry (lowest level) & loved it. Bur, because it was the last yeart of that model, I didn't buy out the lease in 2004!Instead , I bought a new 2004 LE
CAMRY & still have it! Aside from basic maintenance, the car has never needed repair & still runs great, after 17 years! I would highly recommend buying one!
I currently own a 2004 LE, with 56k miles, the same color, and was purchased new from Sport City in November 2003. A great car, still solid smooth ride, and no squeaks and rattles. No major repairs and the car lives in a garage. If and when I decide to buy another Camry, the Base LE trim would be my choice. Don't need all the bells and whistles the higher trims offer.
Agree. I drive a 2011 Toyota Camry LE and it purs like a kitten
I actually prefer the clean look of the base model over the higher trims
I just bought 21 camry le, I don't see any problem with transmission, I think it works great
In 2001, I leased a new CE Camry (lowest level) & loved it. But, because it was the last year of that model, I didn't buy out the lease in 2004!I Instead , I bought a new 2004 LE
CAMRY & still have it! Aside from basic maintenance, it has never needed any major repairs, after 17 yrs. of service.I would highly recommend buying one !
i have this car.
overall really pleased with it!
there are some cons: very light acceleration its notchy, no real good place for your phone, hard to see the ignition key hole, rear speakers are "fill music only!"( and if your older) kinda hard getting out of the car.
i did get 40mpg from dallas to austin n back! it literally sips gas!!!
happy with my purchase!
great review Nolan!!
larry
Thanks for your honesty about the cons.
I just bought a ‘21 AWD Camry this week. I’m still getting used to it but I can say without hesitation I love it and will have it for a very long time. It’s loaded and with only 4,900 miles. I had a ‘15 Camry, which I also loved, but this one is light years ahead of the ‘15. I’m so happy to be back with Toyota. I spent the last 4 years in an Infiniti QX30, what a mistake that was. I’ll be paying for that decision for a while.
In this era where every vehicle is so glitzy and techy and loud looking, filled with gadgets and doo dads that will break, it does my heart good to know I can still get a fairly conservative looking, no nonsense, basic and reliable car. I like a physical key, knobs I can turn instead of a touch screen everything, and a non turbo engine. This year model will be on my list to look at in a few years when these show up as off lease certified preowned Toyotas.
I enjoy these every day car videos. I would think that for a little bit more the hybrid model is a decent value with mileage at 58 mpg. Whichever Camry you get you’ll have the excellent build quality that Toyota is known for. I only wish this model was offered in a station wagon, not everyone wants a crossover.
just bought one it’s amazing
TURN key 1000% brother , the best no hack there , don’t be fool for technology folks
May not be the most exciting car, but you can not beat it for for what it is meant to do. Comfortable, reliable, safe. In my opinion, for the best mid-sized sedan, look no further then this or maybe the Legacy. I know people love the Accord, but for me it just doesn’t cut it due to its harsher and noisy ride and it’s lack for features that the Camry and Legacy give you for the same or less money.
For sure! I've heard good things about the Legacy and it certainly seems underrated. I hear you with the Accord too, through every generation it just seems to be a stiffer ride than the Camry when compared to the LE/XLE models for sure. Thanks for stopping by as always!
Legacy is horribly unreliable. Stay away from Subaru. My 19 had tons of oil consumption issues that the dealer and Subaru continued to ignore and decline.
@@ibdustin15 hmm. I owed a 2015 (same gen) Legacy with the 3.6 and recently traded it with just over 85k miles and had not one issue with the car the entire time I owned it. Loved it so much, I purchased another Subaru.
True!! I’ve owned 3 and have passed them down to my daughter and cousins for college. Very reliable cars
@@tigerfan8244 …the 3.6 with automatic transmission was never an issue, it was the more reliable Legacy. I owned one myself and it was a surprisingly fast car that was planted to the road. I got rid of it and bought a 4Runner.
very good and clear review, love your style of reviewing cars!
I like the analog gauges… easy to read and well done.
Thank you for reviewing the base. Everyone else always reviews the top trim so much appreciated.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
My boyfriend mom had this car for a three year lease. Steady and reliable. Worked great!
That’s great to hear!
That was confusing at first
I like how the entertainment system buttons work with Android when your phone is connected by usb. Map button to Google maps, etc. Feels organic and very easy setup.
Thanks for posting. We've owned three Camry's. I think you mentioned the ride quality on the SE/XSE..we had a Ruby Flare Pearl '17 Camry SE. And that car was very nice however neither my wife or I liked the rough ride. On April 7th 2020 that car was totaled by a hail storm. We then purchased a '17 Camry LE...much smoother and comfortable ride. The fuel mileage on our Camry is outstanding. Recently on the last leg of a road trip we averaged 37.2 MPG according to the info screen. Outstanding!!
Thanks for this comment! I’m between LE and XLE 😣
I bought 2020 Camry Le and I love it not much change in 2021 model.
**** Since I'm fixing to turn 33, and I've owned everything from trucks, sports cars, and SUV's. This is honestly my dream car. I just want a car I can get in, starts up everytime, and has the best reliability. 🤷♂️.
I bought a 2020 le last week, it's simple with just enough flash, has 23k on it one owner, with today's gas prices it does amazing with my hwy drive to work 25miles one way.
Excellent review!
Thank you!
That exactly why I m in the process of getting one
No push button start.
I like a physical key
When he said “when we look under here” at the trunk, I got a bug ad LOLL
Camry is like Alabama football,you can count on both to beat competition 99.99999 % of the time. Maybe not the prettiest but always gets the job done
At the end of the day to smart people reliability is number 1. People that lease every 1 to 3 years are not smart in my opinion always will have a payment
Not always. At all
Excellent beautiful car my favorite LE
This was my first car. Nostalgia.
got 2021 camry from a local dfw dealernin Janurary, very reliable and comfortable
Love my 22 LE ❤️
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite TH-cam channel by far.
Even if I can easily afford the higher trim model, many of us actually prefer the more analog features of a base model. Also, I don’t like heavily bolstered seats. I don’t like leather seats or a leather wheel. I don’t want 19” wheels that ride rough and are easily damaged etc etc. Even if I can afford a costlier package I prefer the base models on any car.
I like the turn key design
I like that car a lot and will be on my shopping list.
I love Toyota probably all I'll ever own. I like they have a basic simple model not everyone likes all the extra bells and whistles. More tech means more problems in the long run
Thats what I been saying too and no one agrees ... more tech more things that can go wrong
@@jessicam522 yup I have a 2016 Camry with a good stero and safety features but to many one newer cars and people end up relying on them to much
The tech and gadget loaded upper trim levels are fine for folks who can afford them and only keep a car for as long as the bumper to bumper warranty lasts. The basic trim levels provide better value at purchase, usually fewer headaches, and lower long term costs.
@@jessicam522 I sold my 2016 Audi A3 with all the electronics… then bought a 2007 4runner with zero unnecessary electronics. I mean the steering wheel has no buttons, switches etc.
Are you kidding this car has one of the most advanced 4 cylinders ever made.. not to mention all the driver assist stuff that's standard, stop being so lazy
Magnifique, my Toyota is fantastic ! 👍🇧🇪
I love my toyota le 2021 toyotas are reliable I still got my 1998 toyota le it's a gem
Thanks for video
Trust me when I say this vehicle eats bumps on the road. Plus you’ll be back pain free and feel fresh after driving this vehicle.
@Kara Smith in my opinion yes since SE is based on cosmetics, easily damageable rims, the rest they are both the same.
@Kara Smith fake vents also
@Kara Smith yes but the lower trims don’t come with power adjustable seats 💺
@Kara Smith I haven’t test drove the Rav4 but comfort and handling for the Camry and ground clearance and luggage capacity with the Rav4.. rest you decide.
I have a 2020 le Camry. I love it. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty great. The gloss black makes it look dirty pretty often. The storage bin by the charging outlet station needs a small rubber mat otherwise anything you put in it will slide none stop and it’s noisy. Aside from that great gas mileage comfortable and affordable.
I was in the market for a small ish sedan a couple months ago, unfortunately, the pre owned camrys of this generation were a little too far out of my price range, so I settled on a 2017 Corolla LE. I love it, one day I will trade it for a Camry XSE V6.
Nice. No flair. And Great review!
Thank you!
Very nice car. I will like to get one
My 94 year old grandmother still drives and has a 2019 Camry LE. I have driven it on occasion. It is not bad but the 2.5L is a bit weak in the mountains of West Virginia. Would definitely go V6 but she is in no hurry.
I want one.
Smart key systems on cars are much easier to be stolen. I still prefer the old style key immobilizer system.
This car sold as a full options model in Saudi Arabia and I see it in USA as a base model !!! Damn!!!
I like the le Camry
Great car, just wish the seats had more padding and nicer material like in the SE.
🚗 Excellent Review 🚗
I love it
I love the Camry .
Im a hugest fan of you
I like it. The front looks like a bucket on a tractor. Maybe that is for pushing snow and liber-ls in the roads?
you can get the transmission reset at the dealership that will get used to you as the driver----------
And I'm happy they keep the 2.5 all the other manufacturers try to change touch and anyone smart knows a turbo charged engine is more problems in the long run
My dad was telling me not to get a Honda because of the Turbo Charged 😞
@@jessicam522 yes please for your sake do not get a turbo charged engine they are expensive to fix and you need to get oil changes every 3k miles no matter what you can get a Honda Accord with the V6 that's good
I love this car I’ve had one since april sittin at 9500 miles.
It’s a fun car the 8 speed transmission takes some getting use to, like half throttle will put you in a different gear than 3/4 throttle will so you really have to know what you’re doing or it will feel “jumpy”
Also the vvt-i is basically like having 2 camshafts; one for efficiency, one for performance so you have to hit the throttle a certain way to tell the engine which one to choose
( you’ll know you activated vvt-i when your engine sounds different, you will feel more torque and your eco indicator turns off)
Finally someone explained it perfectly! Thank you. Love it
You are right you have to drive the car and get used to it.. The transmission also adjusts to your driving habits and it runs better after you drive it for a while.. I have a 2020 Camry XLE.. I love it as well. Also I had to learn to press the gas pedal from the top and not in the middle like I did on my previous cars.. That is the way a gas pedal is that is mounted on the floor.. They are all together different and are not responsive if you do not press them from the top of the peddle..
I love my '21 LE AWD, but i would like to be able to unlock the passenger door & trunk with the key AND manual park brake.
good review from the best midsize sedan from Toyota.
Thank you!
Great review Nolan! I definitely prefer keyed ignition over push button start and I prefer the LE. I'm worried about the 8 speed transmission. Is it a deal breaker or is it something I can get used to with time?
Thank you! Tha 8-speed would make me nervous too, but I'm not sure if reliability is in question or just the lack of smoothness. They are "learning" transmissions, so I would hope with time it would be better and smoother as it learns your driving habits. Hard to say though because I haven't been able to spend more than a week with one. The highlander was the longest I had with the 8-speed and there were times it made me cringe with it's jerkiness, but other times it was very smooth lol. If you're considering one, definitely try to get an extended or over night test drive
I agree about not liking the shiny, piano black in the dash. That shouldn't even be a thing. It's just a bad idea, but unfortunately it's pretty common nowadays.
turn the key. i have the se and love it---------its is lower than other camrys
I think this generation looks good in LE trim, just the right amount of aggressiveness.
Yeah it’s surprising even the 98 camrys had power seats on lower end models
I love my Camry. I have the SE and feel it's better just because it's not much more expensive, but looks sportier. Nothing wrong with the LE, I just feel it looks more like something I would see someone over 60 driving.
Lol I also have the SE and while the LE does ride a lot nicer, the LE’s front grill is ugly and the SE already rides a hell of a lot smoother than my 2013 Civic. As for people over 60 driving the LE, you’re on point with that one. The only people under 60 I see driving the LE’s are usually teenagers
37 driving an LE. Proud of it.😂 🤷🏾♀️
Damn I’m 21 and just bought one lol I think it was worth it
naw im 36 yr dude , and love my LE, i enjoy the ride and never in a rush, sunglasses and dope music, yall just need to learn to slow your selves down cuase yall rush rome to just binge netflx, and potato chips. and you cant beat the gas milage, i use it for commute, but i refill almost once every two weeks
Actually like the LE better, especially in black
Can’t go wrong with Base models. I would prefer the key in ignition start up. The color fits this model very well. You know me my choice of sedan and it isn’t this one ☺️. Good review Nolan.
Definitely good to see Base models. Thank you for stopping by as always Key!
Mono you like the key ignition eh
I prefer keyed ignition. I just bought the base model based on just that ! I loathe stop start
I dont like push button start, it's one more thing to break
I'd prefer a key!
I like the Camry Base but I feel like you get more on the Accord LX
Yeah but the reason for the Camry not as equipped as the accord is because unlike Honda, Toyota allows for more customization like the average luxury brand except genesis or Acura.
I personally prefer more customization on the Toyota because there are people out there who may say “I want feature A and B, but I don’t need C”
Agreed the same reason why I'd choose a Accord over this but both sedans do the job just fine!
Honda parts are moe expensive. Thats why they get stolen so much. Honda drives slightly better. Both good.
Accord has a small turbo engine and a CVT. Both are no no for long-term reliability.
You do but you cannot customize the accords like u can the Camrys. they allow no customization on the accord feature wise. My le Camry came with tons of interior customizations like blindspot/rearcross traffic and more.
you forgot to mentioned that they save some money on 2021 model and didn't give you shocks when you rise the trunk like on mine 2020 LE they did.
Love the key old school
Just got a 2021 le with red rims and that thing on trunk that makes it look like fast and the furious..and I dont like it..any advice? I just wanna see if I can make it go back to regular base model
Nice overall except for the whale mouth front end ...
I am writing this in 2023 having been in an unfortunate accident on Christmas Eve of 2022 which served to completely total my 2006 Toyota Camry LE . After driving a rental car for about a month I visited numerous dealerships to find another Camry, which I did. I ended up with another black 2021 Camry LE with under 50,000 miles on it. I bought this 2021 Camry LE at a good price and on 2/01/2023. I have driven this car for about 10 months now and it drives well. I had it fully inspected by my local mechanic and he stated that I would need to replace the original tires within a short time. I decided to replace the tires with a set of Michelin Defenders , which is an 80K mile tire. This 2021 Camry has a dashboard notification when or if the tires are low on air . I returned to the tire dealer where I had bought the new tires and they fully checked each tire as to air pressure. As I drove away from the tire dealers lot I noticed that the notification light had gone out, which was to be expected. This is my third Camry and I can tell you that I am pleased with all aspects of this vehicle and it certainly has performed well.
Yeah I think the black LE looks the best.
I have this exact car but in grey and I rate it a 8/10 BC of the transmission struggling sometimes like he said and when it goes on bumpy roads it makes a lot of shaky noise. Not sure why, my other 2013 doesn’t as much as my 2021. The dealership said it is normal but idk. Overall pretty smooth and fast
That doesn't surprise me. I test drove a 2020 model. The tranmission shifted a little jerky. My biggest dissapoinntment was the ride quality. I have an 2006 camry. the ride quality felt BETTER in my old camry than the new 2020 camry. Toyota is making threre cars more "sporty" it seems. Changing the ride comfort for WORSE. My 06 doesnt make any kind of creaking noise. I will never buy a new camry until they bring back there old-------better---ride qualtiy.
Toyota had a TSB for transmission shudder.
It's a free repair.
They just recode the software.
Make an appointment with your dealer.
The backseats can realese from the cabin?
Noland, Why don't Toyota have one of those with a manual transmission?
U will have to buy it in Japan I think or order one from the dealership or manufacturer... but I'm not sure if they have it for newer camry. Cuz the old ones had manuel as option... they didn't sell much tho..
Really? how fascinating
After having a push button start, I never want to go back to key starts. Just my preference.
keys SUCK, had plenty of ignitions fail on me!! Key fob is just superior, period.
Yeah and the fact that it’s not standard on a 26k car is outrageous. I paid 21 for my Kia and it has it.
So much easier. Also having a button on the door handle to unlock/lock it is so helpful too.
^ this
@@SeizedNoodle I agree! Honda have it on their base models. Why Toyota why!!
I much prefer turning a key.
Toyota Camrys Are Very Popular Cars.
Can I add any package on the car!?
I have dual zone AUTO temp control in my Impala and I never use it. I either have it on Lowest or highest fan speed lol. I test drove this style camry back in 2017 and this new style was brand new. at 6’1” I felt so cramped in that driver seat. I weighed 200lbs. When I sat in the Impala right after the Camry all I could think was SPACE, QUIET, and refined. And the best part was almost $10K off sticker where Toyota was Zero off Sticker not even floormats. The camry I was testing was the XSE. I think he retailed for $34K.
Haha i hear you with the temperature being high or low! I'm sure the difference was huge for you in that Impala vs the Camry. They really did a nice job with the Impala in so many aspects. Thanks for stopping by sir!
Wow
I personally prefer the key.
Me too.
Had issues with whiplash
got mine today ，
It’s a good decent car. I personally went ahead and got the XLE just for a few more features and I don’t care for the sporty looks in my daily driver. I’m buying a Camry sporty dynamics is not my priority 😂
It’s not like it’s sloppy. It handles very well now.
The le looks better than se
Me gusta el toyota camry
Nice car, but it needs the Altima "Zero G" front seats.
Agreed!
I have the same model LE with several optional packages. My daily go to car, easy to drive and stunning fuel economy. Biggest complaint is the interior lighting, or more specifically, the utter LACK of interior lighting. A single dome light!!! You're kidding right, no footwell lights, no door lights after 2020, just a single dome light. It is a dark cave at night and REALLY noticeable. A single dome light is from the 60's not 2021. I could be spoiled from my Fords with the ambient lighting, SO NICE! Not a deal breaker for buying this car, but more lights are on the top of my mods list.
I'm assuming you wrote this on your cellphone, you know,...the one WITH A FLASHLIGHT.
DUHHHHHHHH 😂
Toyota Camrys Are Like Cars Easy To Drive.
I bought this as my first car, I'm 20 and hopefully it last me
To be honest, I think that the Toyota Camry is a great beginning vehicle for teens who just passed their drivers test, their first car, or a great commute car or Uber/Lyft
What the hell are you talking about these are great cars for any age.
Don't forget all the driver assist stuff ..
