love my camry se !!!
The 2011 camry se 4 cyc. rides smooth. It drives fast I was on the highway going 80 mph and didnt even realize it. The seats feel like it molds to your body. They have so much leg room.The air is ice cold. I leave my car for 3 hours come back and the inside is still cool (even when its 100 degress outside). The engine is quiet. The truck has alot of space. Its very stylish. I lot of people have told me they love my car. One of the reasons why i bought this car is because of the quality. There is no dipstick to check the transmission. The dealer said you dont have to worry about the fluid level. You just change it when you get 100,000 miles on the car.
Transmission defect?
I had a 2000 Corolla for the last 15 years and not one problem. I got this 2011 XLE with a V6, and it has been excellent for about a year. I bought it used with 160000 miles on it. But today the transmission started making an intermittent slipping noise. You can see the RPM go up and you can also hear something that sounds like leather spinning against metal, like a belt sliding up against something. This is a huge disappointment for a Toyota. I didn't spend $9, 500 for a used car to have to spend $3, 000 for a transmission. I don't know what I'm going to do but I'm going to have to have it looked at I suppose. Research is now showing it is a problem and Toyota is of course not acknowledging anything. The stereo and the V6 acceleration has been excellent. The ride is so so. With new tires I still feel just about every bump in the road when I'm going slowly. Short version is this transmission thing is scary because Transmissions are the nightmare item to try to fix. Unemployed and in school, unbelievable.

Camry dream machine
My Camry drives as well as my BMW did, it handles like a dream. It looks like a sports car
Third Camry is not the charm
I've been driving a Camry for 24 years - an '87 and a 2000. I drove them for close to 200k miles each with no complaints. 5 months ago I bought the 2011 with no hesitation. Loved the exterior, and the interior was familiar - it felt right. After driving it for 2 days, I began to notice the ride was bumpy and the car didn't hug the road. It was hard to control on curves. I joked it was a bucket of bolts and that's how it felt. The doors seem lightweight and the passenger door has no stop. It opens fully and very wide, into other cars. There's clunking when you go from braking to accelerating on freeway. The gas pedal seems to pulse. Cruise control varies by 10mph. This is not my Camry.
Reliability is not all
That is my first Toyota and after driving my Audi for 10 years. Everybody said Toyota is reliable and Camry is comfortable. I think cars like Audi, raise your expectations from what a "car" can deliver. Camry is extremely uncomfortable compared to my Audi. It vibrates a lot on the road. The road noise is high. After two hours of driving, you easily feel it when you get out of the car. Worst of all, the whole car waves, once one tire hits a road obstacle or a dip. That is, the suspension on each wheel are not that independent. The car is not that stable on sharp turns either. This is a technically poor car. I guess people who claim Camry is comfortable, have never owned an advanced car.
