2012 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful
After 600 miles, we are very happy with this Camry XLE, 2.5L 4 cylinder. This was our first Toyota, previously we had Hondas. We compared the Accord and Sonata and found them to be noisier and a little harder ride though both are more sporty. We specified cloths seats, and not leather, due to the hot Florida climate. We have the Convenience package, floor mats, and rear spoiler. The car is very quiet at highway speeds and the 4 cylinder engine has more than ample power.We are averaging 26 MPG city. The standard stereo sounds really nice within this quiet interior. We like the numerous chrome accents and with the spoiler, looks cool! This is a lot of car for the money, we recommend it!

I bought a new 2012 XLE several days ago. I came back to a Camry because it has the best value for the $. My last Camry had 220,000 + miles on it and was still a great little car. This one appears to be as good, if not better. Nice fit and finish. Quite and roomier than my previous Camry. The chrome trim at the bottom of the door panel sets the look off just right. The new tail lights make the back distinctive. I had only gone about 5 miles from the dealership on the day I picked it up and someone from behind came to the side of the car, rolled down his window and said, "Is that the new Camry, sweet...". Made my smile really big!!
Well done, Toyota

2012 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
16 of 18 people found this review helpful
I bought my 2012 Camry CPO in 2013 w/ 41K miles on it. I consider myself a pickup truck guy, but as sedans go, this car has been a pleasure to own and to drive. It has the Sport package with the styled wheels, and draws a lot of compliments. I recommend the SE with the V6, they give the car some personality. Still, I would love to see some performance-enhancing features made available, like AWD or a turbocharger. Even with the upgraded engine, I regularly achieve 26mpg combined. It's no Challenger, but the handling response is sharp and the acceleration is surprisingly brisk. I have almost 100K on mine now, and all I ever do is regular maintenance.
Good value for the price

Enough power to merge with traffic at freeway entrances. Engine sound minimal at most conditions and still tolerable at full throttle. However, road noises unacceptable to me on freeways 290 and 59 in Houston. Perhaps the almost 200lbs and $2000 MSRP drops came from the reduction of sound isolation/insulation materials and labor. Manual adjustable passenger front side uncomfortable, unlike the 8-way power adjustable driver one. Rear speakers are really flimsy with tiny magnets (from the $1000 navigation upgrade package).
Disappointed in Toms River

I have put 50k on this car. Purchased new, 2.5 xle. I still love how the car looks... except for paint chips that started on day one. I have tried spot painting them but you can't keep up with it, I am on little bottle 3 from the dealer. The front grill is too low and also has damage & cracks. Paint on premium wheels is also hard to maintain. I have a cold start rattle. My biggest concern is oil burning which the dealer refuses to acknowledge. I have had 2 other toyotas, one with 240k & neither burned oil like this. A quart or so every 1500 miles. Lakewood Toyota Dealer did the seal test & claimed it used nothing. When I got home the crank case had been overfilled, I have the 100 K warranty but not sure they will honor it if it gets worse. I change oil -every 4K miles. Mpg highway highest 28, people with 44! Must have the highbrid, Edmunds should sort by model. The car accelerates, handles, stops & drives well but road noise is horrible- you hear every bump. The next car will not be Toyota, I think they are declining & cutting corners.
