2014.5 Toyota Camry SE Sport Below Average

This is a honest review from an owner that recently purchased the Camry. My 14.5 Camry was purchased in December of 2015 and I regret buying this thing. I had a 13 Honda Accord with continuous variable transmission which was fine but the continuous variable transmission was getting awful to drive. I did my research and it was between a Mazda 6 or Camry. Did not want to go back to continuous variable transmission again. The Nissan Altima had continuous variable transmission too, I guess everyone is going to the continuous variable transmission transmission. The Camry still has the automatic 6 speed transmission so that's what sold me on it. The Mazda 6 interior's dash layout is horrible in my opinion. When I test drove the car it was fine but after a few months of owing it I hate it. The car is cheaply made and while driving you can hear every crack and rattle while hitting bumps. This annoys the hell out of me. The plastics are cheap and can be easy taken out with little force. Every time I hit a bump I hear my dashboard crack and rattle. I can't find where's it coming from for a while now. Then when I back up I hear a grinding noise but only while I back up. People in the forums said its the brakes engaging but this did not happen in my old Accord. I tried to change oil and this car does not use a conventional filter. It uses a filter that you have to open then insert a paper filter into it. It was so hard to get out as well so I left it till next oil change since it was cold outside. Like someone mention the paint is so thin, you will see every little scratch even if you have a silver color like I do. Did I mention the seats make noise and cracks as well when you move around in your seat? Oh yeah, there's no transmission dip stick to check your transmission oil with the new engines. I guess the only way is to change the transmission oil when it time and put in the right amount of fluid. Overall, I feel this Camry is poorly built and cheaply made. Too much little issues for me to even like this slightly. I'm already thinking to trade this in even though I know I will lose more money. This has been a big mistake purchase. I might go back to Honda and get a Accord V6 without the continuous variable transmission. Please beware Toyota is not the way it used to be anymore.

2014.5 Camry SE 4-cylinder

A real honest review , 12/24/2019
2014 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

I bought my 2014.5 Camry in August of 2014 after Toyota made a quick fix of the bad small overlap crash test results on the Camry. This why the car is called a 2014.5. Look for the .5 when buying one. I have almost 110,000 miles on ole gray and she is doing great! The one issue I am having with her is the low rpm rumble. I’ve read some reviews and people are saying mixed things. One person said it’s a computer issue, someone else says it’s the torque converter, others says it goes away on its own! I’ve been carefully monitoring the issue and will be taking the car to Toyota next oil change and mentioning it. My brother seems to think it could simply be a spark plug. Anyway the car is great for the money! Road noise is good if you are sitting up, but if you lay down in the back seat you will get an ear full of pavement! The center arm wrest will break on the inside under the leather but you will never see it and as far as I have seen, it hasn’t done anything. So when you get in the car and lean the right elbow on the arm west it will crack like a plastic egg carton noise but nothing happens. So you will just have to live with the crack noise when you apply lots of weight on it. The car isn’t a roadster but can get up and go if you need to pass! Gas mileage realistically is 32 to 35 on the highway and 27-29 in the city. I haven’t noticed any oil consumption issues. The fenders behind the back wheels will bend in easily so watch for that. Keep the plastic buckets between the windshield and hood cleaned out of pine needles and other leaves or debris. Sorry this is kind of lengthy, I’m just trying to give a 100% honest review and owners guide. The car does seem to go through batteries so just buy a battery with warranty at Walmart and it will be free every year or two as cells of the battery will test bad. Tire wear is good with this vehicle. Front window seems to fog up easily. The car leads the way for back seat room! Good to know if you uber. That’s all I can think of now. Again to sum it up...the car is a great value for the money, the accord rides better but in the real world it cost alotttt more. I got my 2014.5 Camry SE with power seats for a little over $19000 on true car. I also have a 2009 Scion xB and I’ll do a review on it soon.

No complaints! Great car w/ legendary reliability

2014 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

I have had this car for a month and I have already racked up over 1000 miles. I have no complaints with this car. The ride, tech, feel, versatility, and practicality of this legendary mid-size sedan are tough to beat. I have no buyer's remorse; I am very pleased with my purchase. I got the XLE trim and it rides, feels, and looks like a luxury sedan. Great for short and long trips, with tons of trunk space! PROS: -Quiet, smooth ride -Lots of available features, great MPG -The name-brand reliability of a Toyota Camry CONS: -Slightly more expensive than rival mid-size sedans, but you get what you pay for! Test drive other mid-size sedans. I did, and this Camry clearly stood out for me.
