Jordan Catcher for real. Along with the 86 and the new supra they're really killing it. Now we can just wish they will bring back a new mid engine mr2😏
+Jordan Catcher Truth. My whole life, I've only owned Ford and GM products. As a car guy, I'll give Toyota and the Camry the respect they deserve. Also, I appreciate the fact they still produce the V6 and didn't kill it off for a turbo 4......
The best decision I’ve made this year was buying the V6 Camry. It looks amazing and it has a great MPG ( I’ve found it better than my previous car 2011 Hyundai Sonata). The V6 is the highlight of this car so smooth. It also handles pretty good for a sedan. Way better than I expected.
2011 sonata? those were the generation 1 Theta engines.... ANYTHING has better fuel economy than those. I had a 13 optima with the 2.4 and man I was getting 20mpg tops....on a base engine
This new Camry.... the first time in latest memory where Toyota started waking up... .....keep it up, Toyota! You guys are killing it with your latest vehicles! First the new Camry, then the new Avalon, after the new Corolla Hatchback, and hopefully the new RAV4 once I get the opportunity in testing it out in the flesh someday! With predictably more to come very soon! Toyota is definitely in the right direction.
Coming from a 2018 XSE V6 owner, you nailed this review. I could not agree more with the points you have highlighted noth good and bad. Great work, keep it up!
As far as appearance goes, this looks way better than the new Accord IMO. The Accord looks decent from the front, so-so from the side, and fugly from the back. The 2017 Accord looked much better.
I bought a 2012 SE v6 model when it came out and still love it! Ended buying my wife a 16 SE when it came out. I highly suggest the v6. Hers is a four cylinder and it's kinda lackluster when it comes to that kick you need these days to keep up with the traffic.
I have a 2015 XSE V6 & it's still fantastic after three years of driving it! It's sad that hardly anybody picks the V6. My mom drives a 2017 XLE 4-cylinder & it sounds OK & has enough power most of the time, but it sometimes can fell lethargic off the line. The V6 just greatly transforms the car into a different animal & was well worth the $5k premium over the 4-cylinder. The dealer I bought mine at had around 390 Camry's in stock & only 10 of them had the V6. You really can't ask for a better engine.
Thanks! That was the good old days of less competition haha. These videos also continue to get views for years after, so a lot of these older ones end up with higher view counts eventually.
Hi Matt, I am a long time Toyota fan and Camry guy. Would I make a mistake in your opinion buying a 2018 xse V6 with 60k miles for $24k. Meaning considering this car stickered for $39k when new. The concern would be the engine may have been abused. My Camry inline 4 has almost 215k miles and is still running good. However, I am considering upgrading with this price point.
You've been breathing too many Mustang fumes matt. :) That redesign is absolutely amazing.... Every time a Camry drives by I do a double take. But seriously, Great review as always.
Heavy Metal Rules I don't hate them, I just think they're overrated, I drive a kia and Ford, which, although they aren't as reliable, still are known for making relatively reliable cars. Plus their designs and driving dynamics and tech are all significantly better. Don't pull the Ford's are unreliable shit either, because you still see fords from the 90s driving around all over the place, I know people how've put 500k plus on them with little to no issues. Reliablity matters, not as much as design and performance. I'll put it this way, look at cars as a job, reliability = stability, design, tech and performance can been looked as like satisfaction, relevance, and flexibility. I'm sure most people would agree, it's better to have a job that's rewarding, relevant, and flexible, even if it's less stable, than most people will prefer it over just having a job that's stable but you hate going to it everyday, the desk job for example, or working in business. Reliability matters, but design, performance do as well. I don't care if I spend $500 or $1,000 more a year on repairs if I love the car everytime I drive it or look at it. There's a reason the overwelming majority of Toyota owners are old, they don't want something exciting or special, they just want to get through life. Toyota is for people who want to just get through life as quickly as possible, birth, live, death. But brands like Ford, with their stellar line of very sucessful performance cars, are for people who want to savor life.
Last generation there was no one even talking about the Camry in comparison tests. I never thought the Camry would be the lone v6 option (after the Fusion stops) in this class and get 300 hp. My how things have changed.
You’re right. Got the 2018 XSE V6 fully loaded, paint protection the whole nine, sticker price was $40,080. Got mine for $34,200. Very happy 😊 with my choice.
Kyle Everage I brought my 2018 Camry in July, just made my last payment on it 2 weeks ago. What I suggest is playing multiple dealerships against each other as to get the best deal possible. That’s what I did made my local dealership think I was willing to drive to Georgia or South Carolina from North Carolina to get a car. I even had the Georgia dealership offer to ship the car to N.C. if I brought it from them, which made the local dealership give up the car for about $6,000 off the sticker. Just play them like they try to play us the consumer.
@Kyle Everage I was only able to get 3k off, its really tough over here in cali. Probably gonna b easier elsewhere, even than, 3k off huge in my location. Most dealerships dont give af. They make money.
*”The Toyota Camry leads the midsize sedan class with 35,264 units sold and has a healthy lead in year-to-date volume at 90,767 units sold through the first quarter of the year. The Honda Accord and Nissan Altima finished the month in a distant second and third place, with 24,171 units and 23,518 units sold, respectively.”*
dude trying to decide on a car to buy is so damn hard. ive changed my mind from a honda accord, to a rav4, to a 2015 camry, to a 2018 camry v6, to a 2018 accord, all in one day. also i cant afford any of them...
BEST looking car in its class and the best value. Wrong about 0-60 it has been tested at 5.7 seconds and so was the Accord. What no reviewer is saying is that the Camry will walk away from the Accord after 60 mph where the high strung V6 comes alive in the top end and will leave the Accord turbo behind once the Accord gets out of boost. The V6 Camry also gets really good MPG for a 301hp car. Sexy car for sure tho sexy red interior with swooping interior design, with two tone paint quad tip exhaust.. such a cool designed car. Great job Toyota. Love everything about this car. Would love to see a higher performance TRD or gazooracing model
Toyota4Life no reviewer is mentioning that because you are wrong. Here's a 0-60 and 1/4 mile chart for you. www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2018-honda-accord-in-depth-model-review-2018-honda-accord-performance-and-driving-impressions-review-car-and-driver-page-4
Toyota4Life Still here spreading false misleading bullshit are we? What YOU won't admit is that the Camry and Accord are neck and neck all the way up to 100 mph. And the fact it's overpriced for what you're getting. Still a very good car though just be happy with that.
Gregory Thye hell no. The Mazda looks boring as hell in the rear. The side profile is boring. The best angle of the Mazda is the front and that's it. The interior is nice and design wise it's boring. The Camry interior has a more eye catching design and when you get the red interior on the Camry it looks way better then the Mazda interior.
Apple carplay and android auto is pretty overrated. Many cars require a USB connection and it's often laggy, even on the Mercedes. A simple bluetooth that automatically connects to the phone is good enough.
Indeed, that is why I went with the Camry, it was just so much cheaper to buy than its competitors despite the higher MSRP. My 2018 SE was $4.5k under MSRP with 0.9% 60 months financing, the Accord was $2k under MSRP with 2.9% for 60 months. The Mazda was pretty much selling at MSRP.
Newer cars are just heavier in general. My gen 3 cam feels light, its only 3000lbs, but with suspensions mods its handles flat with quick steering rack
Even small cars are tipping the scales and they aren't really small exterior wise. I have a 93 miata and pulling out a parking lot of like jarasic park, most of the trunk lids are higher than my stock ride. My old old Corolla kill some at interior space and it's smaller from the outside. Safety regulations and tech keeps increasing their girth. I wanted to buy a 87 Camry a while back, didn't like the test drive. The car felt badly maintained.
Honda's Ive had are very dependable, but I'm tired of replacing timing belts on Honda's. Plus, the current Accord exterior is awful. The Camry for the first time has my attention. Especially this model, with the V6 and red interior. The Mazda 6 is another excellent option now that they've been without Ford influence for 5 years and are made in Japan again. Definitely, the best bang for your buck of the three.
I own an LE 2018 and can totally agree with your review. The transmission sometimes feels very jerky and I REALLY wish it had carplay. However, I wanted a car in that class/price range with extreme reliability, gas mileage, and comfort (don't need performance since I get that from my 2017 GT). Overall I think the LE trim is a great option but I could not justify spending close to 40k on a camry... They are reliable regular sedans. They are not meant to be something sporty or luxurious.
Matt (MMM), Sofiyan (Redline), Dave (Everyman) are all reviewing the XSE V6 trim. Probably 96% of Camry buyers have no intention of ever crossing $30K mark, let alone $40k. They need to review LE, SE and MAAAAYBE XSE 4 cylinder - the cars most of us will buy or want to buy. Who buys a $40K Camry?
Turbochargers are suppose to be more efficient according to manufacturers but it doesnt seem so. I dont have any numbers tallied but it seems n/a is just as efficient as a turbo and maybe slightly better when you mention mileage ratings. Anyways I dont know. Im diggin the vids big bro, keep em coming 👍
792bnz well it isn’t the turbocharger that makes them more efficient it’s the fact that they can get the same amount of power needed with an N/A engine by using a smaller engine. The smaller engine saves more gas and bridges the power gap via the turbo charger
Peak power over 4k. Cmon. Its not usable really. Your not getting that instant thrust. Maybe if your on the highway and need to pass , youll get something, but otherwise its a waste of money
the heaviness is on purpose not nimble but grippy, my friend has one... in the end its a camry, toyota cant get too crazy bc it would out perform lexus, then have to up lexus even more, business strategy.... its half assing it on purpose... sporty looks with good camry quality and sportier driving ..,. def looks great at every glance
I bought camry Xse 2500 cc 2 months back. There r only 2 things which i dont like in it. 1st its sound system v6 has a 10 speaker jbl sound system which is very nice but v4 has a toyota system 6 spekers.it sound below average. They should have given atleast in option. 2nd wireless charging make the cellphone so hot it’s difficult to pick it some time when its on charging. Rest every thing is perfect in this car.its a head turner
Matt, how do you think this compares with the Kia Optima you reviewed a while back? Which would you choose? How about compared to the Stinger GT (base model is about the same $ as the Camry fully loaded)?
Nice review Matt. Despite the changes Toyota has made it will always be a "blue-hair" granny cruiser in my eyes. I also feel the design will not age as well as the Accord. To those who choose the Camry, good for you. It's your money.
I drove one the other day and it just feels "meh". Yeah it's got some power, but it seemed to take longer for it to actually kick in. Drove an Audi S3 and that seems more responsive in every way, and also kind of gives you that "wow" factor when driving...although at a much higher price ($55k v $38k for the Camry). Love the look of the Camry, but not completely sold on the performance.
Tarantula Sonic I look for nascar to downsize engines anyway. They're already talking next year reducing HP to 550 at select tracks. That means it would only have 250 hp more than this V6 camry.
Hopefully the two-tone catches on and becomes a trend again like it once was in the 50's and early sixties. We can stop at bringing two tone back though - Vynl tops can stay in the 70's.
I crossed shopped this with the Nissan Maxima, do a Nissan Maxima review please? it won my head to head comparison, very similar powertrains, weight, features
Matt you seem to have pretty positive impressions on most cars you review. Are there any that you reviewed that you really disliked? Would love to check one of those out!
It's funny cuz I got this same exact cam(black interior) while my brother and mother both got an Accord. Accord very nice, but cam more my cup of tea. Both great vehicles 👍
The steering wheel it's a deal breaker for me that chunk of plastic on the 6 o'clock position should have been hollow like in the Hyundai genesis and the dash design kinda a weird look to it but overall nice Camry.
I want the Accord, because it will fit my scenarios better than the Camry. But at the same time I can't get over the front end of the Accord. I'm not a fan of the interior of the Camry, color is good, but the layout is not my thing, I prefer a more sedate look for the interior. It's hard to make decisions now that most manufacturers are making better products.
.1 seconds faster than my 02' maxima 0-60 Honestly my 6spd maxima on firestone firehawk a/s tires shocks the piss out of people. I had no idea how much fun I'd have with a luxury sedan that is 16 years old.
Unquestionably the best-looking Camry ever
Best looking camry ever.
Have you seen the new Lexus ES350 with the F-Sport package? Pretty crazy
Mike Morris yes! I have the white with black glass roof. People come up to me to compliment the car and ask what it is. 👍🏻
J - definitely a nice car. Did you get a V6? That 3.5L is awesome.
Cars And Zebras lexus is to much maintenance. Even tho its Toyota its really not Toyota on some real shit
Ain't that the truth?
Awesome, someone actually covering the V6 Camry.
I'll be honest ..... Toyota has been KILLING IT lately with their latest products.
Jordan Catcher for real. Along with the 86 and the new supra they're really killing it. Now we can just wish they will bring back a new mid engine mr2😏
Killing their designers
+Jordan Catcher Truth. My whole life, I've only owned Ford and GM products. As a car guy, I'll give Toyota and the Camry the respect they deserve. Also, I appreciate the fact they still produce the V6 and didn't kill it off for a turbo 4......
728 Autos Can't kill something that doesn't exist.
toyota and lexus are at the top! mazda is great too, very underated . Nissan and honda not a fan of at all.
Me personally, I would take the Camry over the Accord. I have owned both and they are both good cars, I just feel the Camry looks better in and out.
Mike Pearis it took them almost 20 years to pass Honda but they finally did it with this redesign
Jon J The Avalon was slowing them down 😂
Kia stinger is better than both
@@Griffith861 I don't think they are really comparable.
@@Griffith861 the 911 is better too…but that’s really a relevant comparison lol.

skifree yeah those engines were not fuel efficient. The 2018 Sonata with the non GDi engine has worse fuel economy than my V6 Camry unfortunately
Congrats bro!.. thank you for sharing 👍
Interior looks plush and tight too..
what MPG were you getting on that V6?
The best looking non-luxury mid-size sedan in 2018
This 2018 camry surprisingly sounds good with a aftermarket exhaust. No wonder Lotus uses the same engine.
This new Camry.... the first time in latest memory where Toyota started waking up...
.....keep it up, Toyota! You guys are killing it with your latest vehicles! First the new Camry, then the new Avalon, after the new Corolla Hatchback, and hopefully the new RAV4 once I get the opportunity in testing it out in the flesh someday! With predictably more to come very soon!
Toyota is definitely in the right direction.
Coming from a 2018 XSE V6 owner, you nailed this review. I could not agree more with the points you have highlighted noth good and bad. Great work, keep it up!
Ken Tang have experienced some of transmissions issues ?
As far as appearance goes, this looks way better than the new Accord IMO. The Accord looks decent from the front, so-so from the side, and fugly from the back. The 2017 Accord looked much better.

Funny you say that because the new 4cly in this Camry is the most powerful base engine in its class
Yeah? I'd still choose the v6. Because, you know, V6.
Jonny Villa I would choose the 6 too. But it's a fact the base engine is the most powerful offering base engine in its class
I have a 2015 XSE V6 & it's still fantastic after three years of driving it! It's sad that hardly anybody picks the V6.

I agree. V6 is a must. Because I MUST have fun driving the car, or I'll constantly want to throw it away.
One of my favorite cars. (2018 XSE). It’s no longer a poor mans Lexus.
Damn over 100k views. Killed it on this one Matt.

Even as Honda guy 😅, this Camry is just awesome I would get one !🤷🏾♂️🤫
Bottom line a v6 offers more refinement much smoother than a 4 banger.
You've been breathing too many Mustang fumes matt. :) That redesign is absolutely amazing.... Every time a Camry drives by I do a double take. But seriously, Great review as always.

The 2018 Toyota Camry looks gorgeous, has a glorious V6 engine and hold its reliability.
Toyota and KIA has really been knocking it out of the park. I can't wait to see the 2020 Optima.

We have owned 3 diff year models. This one hands down is AWESOME! Excellent purchase.
Camry sells because of incentives and the amazing offers especially if your buying it off MSRP despite Mazda and Honda offering a superior product.
Indeed, that is why I went with the Camry, it was just so much cheaper to buy than its competitors despite the higher MSRP. My 2018 SE was $4.5k under MSRP with 0.9% 60 months financing, the Accord was $2k under MSRP with 2.9% for 60 months. The Mazda was pretty much selling at MSRP.
The twin turbochargers scare me for long-term ownership. I'm also not a fan of the Accord's direct injection. That Toyota V6 will last forever.
The camry might be more expensive than the accord but it's also a hell of a better looking car, get some nice wheels and the Camry will turn heads.
I bought a 2015 Camry SE 2.5. Fantastic car to live with, not missing a V6 to be honest.
Thank You Toyota for giving us knobs!🚘
Nobody:
2018 301hp Toyota Camry V6
Love your reviews Matt. I actually bought the 2018 Honda Accord based on your reviews.
The back of this car looks so much better than the new accord
Matt “lets turn down to this back road” Maran Motoring
The rear end is nice, the front looks weird . The XSE looks badass with the red seats and black roof top
Like this Camry much better than any before it, but the Accord as usual just seem a bit better. Not to mention you can get the manual in Accord.

Great review matt!
You’re so right on the “on off switch” it’s annoying when ur going half throttle. Trying to speed up but not go hyperspace mode
You see this car, this is the reason why you do not see 2018 accord in the streets
I see more accords than camries in my city
If u take out the fleet sales, the Camry only sold 10k more cars in 2018 (290k to 300.5k) not by much tbh

Honda underrates the accord 2.0t power output. plus, the Honda is lighter. so, I can understand why the Honda is a little quicker.

Im diggin the vids big bro, keep em coming 👍
792bnz well it isn’t the turbocharger that makes them more efficient it’s the fact that they can get the same amount of power needed with an N/A engine by using a smaller engine. The smaller engine saves more gas and bridges the power gap via the turbo charger
Those orange indicators look horrendous! Clear lense European version looks so much cleaner.
Peak power over 4k. Cmon. Its not usable really. Your not getting that instant thrust. Maybe if your on the highway and need to pass , youll get something, but otherwise its a waste of money
the heaviness is on purpose not nimble but grippy, my friend has one... in the end its a camry, toyota cant get too crazy bc it would out perform lexus, then have to up lexus even more, business strategy.... its half assing it on purpose... sporty looks with good camry quality and sportier driving ..,. def looks great at every glance
You got that shirt at Old Navy didn’t you? I have that same one!
I bought camry Xse 2500 cc 2 months back.
There r only 2 things which i dont like in it. 1st its sound system v6 has a 10 speaker jbl sound system which is very nice but v4 has a toyota system 6 spekers.it sound below average. They should have given atleast in option.
2nd wireless charging make the cellphone so hot it’s difficult to pick it some time when its on charging.
Rest every thing is perfect in this car.its a head turner
Matt, how do you think this compares with the Kia Optima you reviewed a while back? Which would you choose? How about compared to the Stinger GT (base model is about the same $ as the Camry fully loaded)?
There's a reason this outsells the current Accord by 2-1 globally. The Camry is just the better overall car
Samson Okoro fleet sales account for much of it
Great video Matt you should try to get your hands on a 2018 Honda Accord sport 2.0t with the 6 speed manual
The Accord and Avalon you reviewed were both red and the Camry had red leather 😂
Nice review Matt. Despite the changes Toyota has made it will always be a "blue-hair" granny cruiser in my eyes. I also feel the design will not age as well as the Accord. To those who choose the Camry, good for you. It's your money.
Gipsy Avenger is that avatar masaki yamada?
Indeed from the EZO/Flatbacker days.
The accord doesn't have a pano roof or 360 camera although I don't think that justifies the price difference
Great review! You should check out the new Nissan Maxima. I think it would compare well!
the maxima hasnt been new in years.
Penis I mean the 2016 redesign.
The Maxima died 15 years ago
No one drives Nissan anymore not popular
I drove one the other day and it just feels "meh". Yeah it's got some power, but it seemed to take longer for it to actually kick in. Drove an Audi S3 and that seems more responsive in every way, and also kind of gives you that "wow" factor when driving...although at a much higher price ($55k v $38k for the Camry). Love the look of the Camry, but not completely sold on the performance.
The headlights look extremely beautiful but the rest of the grill has too much going on
Richi Camacho i agree
Definitely. It's muted well with the Camrys in black
If only Toyota offered a V8 option that would be pretty cool just like their NASCAR Camry
Tarantula Sonic if only they offered Trd parts as well. Even for the V6
Tarantula Sonic I look for nascar to downsize engines anyway. They're already talking next year reducing HP to 550 at select tracks. That means it would only have 250 hp more than this V6 camry.
Hopefully the two-tone catches on and becomes a trend again like it once was in the 50's and early sixties. We can stop at bringing two tone back though - Vynl tops can stay in the 70's.
New Camry a slick ride.
Hmmm... which would make a great daily driver Camry XSE V6 or Stinger GT AWD?
N P Camry XSE V6
Wait. Is this the review for the Camry or the Accord?
Camry vs accord.
Which do you get more options with. ?
Nice review Man! Only thing wrong with the front is the license plate.
I crossed shopped this with the Nissan Maxima, do a Nissan Maxima review please? it won my head to head comparison, very similar powertrains, weight, features
This has a much better gear box
I totally want this car !!!
I let the ad run, hit the like, and skip the loud music, because MMM is right on.
I fucking love the styling off this car it's so manish
Honestly the only thing that the 2019 accord has on the camry is the looks, apart from that this car is better in every way
Love this and also the new Avalon.
Matt you seem to have pretty positive impressions on most cars you review. Are there any that you reviewed that you really disliked? Would love to check one of those out!
It's funny cuz I got this same exact cam(black interior) while my brother and mother both got an Accord. Accord very nice, but cam more my cup of tea. Both great vehicles 👍
The steering wheel it's a deal breaker for me that chunk of plastic on the 6 o'clock position should have been hollow like in the Hyundai genesis and the dash design kinda a weird look to it but overall nice Camry.
Good review I like your vids.
I love this interior. Then again I love anything thats not hard plastic lol My Caliber SRT4 has horrible interior materials
Over 38k for a camry? Something is wrong with that
Amen!!!
what? does the camry v6 weigh that much? cause here in Australia the camry v6 weighs 2100 Kg in this weighs 1662 kg ?
The front looks awesome
You can get a fully loaded 2.0 Stinger or the base GT Stinger for the same price. If you past the KIA badge, it’s the much better choice.
Like this a lot better than the Accord 2.0T
Sleep game - watch a video about a Toyota product before bed and try to stay awake. Best part is you win every time.
That beginning though...Gillette, The Best A Man Can Get!
Rauuuuuuul!
@18:30 completely agree with you!
2018 xse v6 radio tuner button pushes in, (along with turning) but I can't figure out why, or what it's supposed to do.
the bumper makes a huge difference, I cant stand the huge whale mouth grill on the L or LE trim levels. Also that interior is gorgeous.
I want this car so bad, I’m torn between this and the Honda Accord 2.0T
John Elway get this car
I want the Accord, because it will fit my scenarios better than the Camry. But at the same time I can't get over the front end of the Accord. I'm not a fan of the interior of the Camry, color is good, but the layout is not my thing, I prefer a more sedate look for the interior. It's hard to make decisions now that most manufacturers are making better products.
.1 seconds faster than my 02' maxima 0-60
Honestly my 6spd maxima on firestone firehawk a/s tires shocks the piss out of people.
I had no idea how much fun I'd have with a luxury sedan that is 16 years old.
Aqua God i wouldn't call a maxima a luxury car but they are fast for sure
No surprises for those who know what those gen Maximas are; absolute killers.
Had my XSE for a year and as it breaks in its gotten much faster than the day I bought it.
