Rear seats very uncomfortable for me. Front bumper too low, very easy to damage when parking close to tall curbs.

Pleasantly surprised by what this 4 cylinder can do. Quiet, smooth great mileage but you have to drive sensibly to get the grat mileage. I have got close to 38 MPG at cruising speed on the freeway and got about 35 overall on one recent short trip. The secret of getting good mileage is to keep your foot out of the engine. I have had this car about a month now and so far so good. Only down side is the front fascia on this car. It is weak and by that I mean it is fragile. I had to bring it back the day after I bought it because the cheap under panels under the front fell off and scrunched under the car. Front bumper has a crease in it from some kind of bump and looks like hell.
Chose Camry over Optima

This is my automotive history before marriage: BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Honda CBR - after marriage: Honda Civic, Dodge Caravan, Trek bicycle pulling a child carrier. Now I'm in the market for a family sedan and I see this absolutely gorgeous car, and it's a KIA? I test drive the OPTIMA LX and I felt it was terrific. The thought of a boring CAMRY did not cross my mind because I wanted the KIA!, then my wife persuades me to look at Toyota. I reluctantly go to a Toyota dealer and choose to test the CAMRY SE I4. To my amazement the SE was noticeably quieter and smoother than the KIA while having good power with sporty and confident handling. The OPTIMA is great but the SE is the car for me.
Great car but take it to the dealer for service!!

My wife purchased her SE 3 in 2016 and we loved this car. She had the dealer for life program, so we thought we were good. Well, a little over 120000 miles and we noticed a vibration between 35-45 mph nothing major. To make a long story short, we took it to the dealer with 151450 miles on it to find out there is a factory issue with these cars that Toyota knows about and would fix if the car wasn't over 150000 miles. They're response was, if we had been bringing it to a Toyota dealership for service we would have known. $2300 for a problem they knew about but would not fix even though we had service records from the dealer that we bought it from. Torque convertor stall and a computer update! She loved that car and took good care of it but that didn't matter.

I was searching for a reliable car and decided to test drive the 12 Camry and 13 Accord. I bought the Camry for these reasons: 1. The Camry seats are more comfortable. 2. On the interstate the Camry was much quieter. It could be the Goodyear tires on the Accord, but there was too much road noise for me. The ride over bumps were absorbed better by the Camry. Also got a 2-year maintenance plan and roadside assistance with Camry. Accord seemed cheaper on the inside. Both had adequate power and smooth transmissions.
