I Upgrade to this car after escaping my 2010 muscle. The car spends more time at the mechanic than at home. My mechanic told me to get the 2012. I ended up with a 2014 camry. I was so excited because it doesn't shake like the muscle when you turn on your ac. Long story short, the car lacks power, the ride is not smooth. The v6 drives better, but Nigerian mechanic will lie to you that V6 is problematic, even though the V6 is better than the 4 cylinder. I got bored with the camry lack of power and switch to a 2012 Eclass. Best move I ever made. I've not been mechanic in over a year. You change your oil once a year, unlike the camry every 3months. The cost of running a Eclass is cheaper than a camry. I found this out after many years of suffering with Toyota because I always see everyone driving it.
Not sure why you've had so much trouble with your Camrys, they are renowned universally for being uber reliable. I have a 2010 and it costs me $150 a year in basic maintenance. I've owned it for 3 years / 35000 kms. No issues at all. Perhaps yours had poor servicing before you bought it.
This is the car I drive currently. I upgraded from the muscle because I read that it's the most reliable camry and the transmission is smoother than the subsequent models including the latest model.
@@SunSun-dx6mt I think right now it goes for about 5 - 6 million, Nigerian used should be around 4 million. But i think it's worth every penny. Fuel economy is superb. I only filled my tank once and a little topping (about 5k fuel) during my journey to the East, Abia state to be precise.
@@SunSun-dx6mt Mine is 2012 LE. However i did some upgrade on mine. I changed all my tyres to Michelin 215 65R16 H tyres as opposed to the lower 205 65R16 that comes with it. So mine is a little higher than usual and it's still well balanced and runs perfect on high speeds.
Guy, when it comes to exterior looks, nothing looks good on the outside of this generation Camry compared to the 07 camry, maybe just the tail light.. The interior is a definite upgrade and looks better than 07's.
This is another generation of the 2002-2005(big for nothing) Camry . Everything in front, only seatbelts at the rear. Electro pneumatic steering breaks before 100k miles, mystery clunking sounds from the rear. Super lightweight, you don’t wanna play roughy with. Exterior is a beaut.
Normal people are checking trunk space by putting grocery bags but you people it is human being you like to use. Nice video by the way and very Nigerian. I love it 🙂
For me the most perfect Camry is the 2015 Camry. That car is a beaut, especially the new trim XSE. God I’ll that car😍😍 and it’s extremely problem free, exterior and interior are perfect. I only wish it has an LED taillights😩😩 please review the 2015-2017 Camry.
Broo... Nice videos I can't really get off your page.. I like how you broke down the advantages and disadvantages of this car... Please can you do a break down of the Hyundai elantra 2015 - 2016 model..... I want to know if it suck oil and drink's fuel... And if the parts are easy to find in case of repairs
Another thing about the check engine light always on,on this car, that's because you mechanic stole your catalyst converter. When ever your 02 censor codes comes on in a Toyota, just know your mechanic has stole your catalyst. I lost so many catalyst to Nigerian mechanic, till I educated my self on it. Always have a mechanic confirm your catalyst before he takes your car and have another one confirm in his presence when he return your car. Know this and know peace.
Just when I began to wonder what my first car should be, I was directed to this channel by the Algorithm. Seen a few videos now and I'm hooked. Love your channel Bro. And you review everyday cars, unlike many car channels that review cars I rarely ever see.
Get the V6 with the 2GR-FE..the 1AR-FE in this 2014 camry will burn oil more than the 2AZ-FE if poorly maintained..you have to change your oil religiously with the recommended oil..0W-20/5W-20/5W-30
Whether well maintained or not, the 2AR-FE engine of Camry made in 2010-2011 burns oil at high mileage. It's like Toyota intentionally made some of them burn oil even though you do maintenance timely and properly. They'll tell you only 2AZ engines burn oil, but that's a FAT lie.
The video could have been brighter though. Looks like it was shot when it was about raining. Nice video. I had a lot of debate either to choose the 2015 Camry Sport or the 2015 honda accord Sport . Couldn't you do a review of the 2014 or 2015 Honda Accord
So sad the XSE trim is not available in Nigeria, and though it doesn't have a manual transmission, it does have a manual mode. On some trims like the SE trim, you will see small paddles at the side of the steering wheel, you can use them to change gears yourself.
The weight shift could be a result of the drivetrain. I feel more comfortable with all wheel drive vehicles because you feel more in control. The one you drove could be a front wheel drive
Nice vid💙💙💙...but pls can u guys make a comtent on why brand new cars are more expensive in nigeria like ×2 the price...and a way that we can buy brand new cars from other countries and ship them here...i'll be very happy for this content...or pls u guys could make a tour content in nigeria best car dealers store💙💙💙💙💙💙
It's because of the customs duty you pay. It's 70% of the value of the car. So for instance, if you pay 60million Naira for a brand new G-wagon from Yankee plus 70% Duty, the cost of the car is already 102million Naira on getting to Nigeria Then if you are buying in Nigeria from a dealership they will add their own profit margin to the cost of the car. That's why the princes of brand new cars in Nigeria a ridiculously expensive.
Nice review. Changing your background will do your videos a lot good. The environment looks too dirty. Also you need to do something about the color of your videos. These are the reasons why I think this car don't sell well; 1. Too low to the ground 2. Too expensive for what it's worth 3. Even though they'll tell you 2AR-FE engine does not burn oil, believe me it does. Wait until it hits 200k miles then you'll start seeing it drinking oil just like fuel. So if you're going for this car stick with the 6 cylinder engine.
Nice one Crank.. Waiting for you to do a review of Toyota RAV 4 possibly the 3rd generation. Someone mentioned here before, that it's most affordable SUV on earth. What do you think?
20-25k on maintenance, I don’t think so maybe 30k plus. If people used the recommended engine oil of their car they’ll be spending a lot. SE feels better and has a lighter steering.
As I understand it, Jamaica (where I live) and Nigeria have similar markets in terms of cars. There aren't many of that generation Camries here either because most people opted to get a Marx X instead. So that may be the problem in your case.
Cars in Jamaica are similar to that of east and southern Africa, not west Africa. In Jamaica you have lots of cars made for the European, Japanese and South Asia market. Those cars you'll find mostly in East and South Africa. West Africa especially in Nigeria you'll find more cars made for the USA and Canadian market.
Great video man ☺....i only hate two things about this camry,the plastics in the d interior(dash,cup holder,doors and many places) and this car is slow, same engine with old models 🤦♂️....if am paying this price i should get better leader wrap interior and fast engine....

This is my first car. The ride is so smooth. I bought the LE trim and I've enjoyed it all the way. Regular servicing just keeps it going.
Nice video...but a quick correction...that's a 2012-2014 camry you reviewed. Toyota Camry (Muscle) production ran from 2007 to 2011.
