I owned a 2001 Camry for over 13 years and used to be a Toyota fan, not any more. After owning this particular Camry for three months I find it mediocre at best. The three worst problems are; ROAD NOISE, NAVIGATION (Voice commands) and FRONT SEAT COMFORT. These three problems, alone, make road trips terrible. The road noise level is so high that to hear the radio, the volume needs to be very high. The Voice command feature is unusable at highway speeds due to the road noise. Combine this with the seat comfort and I don't want to take long trips. I guess you need to go to a two week course on using the navigation system. Nothing is intuitive, I guess that you can do a lot with this system but finding information, while driving, is difficult at best (I'm still trying to learn this system). There are several other smaller problems; the display screen is washed out during the day by the sunlight, the digital speedometer does not match the needle speedometer and other small issues. Keep in mind this is the XLE Camry (one step below the Avalon) and should much much better. I hate to admit it but I rode in a Nissan Altima yesterday and found it much quieter and more comfortable than my Camry (I have never been a Nissan fan, maybe should re-evaluate the Nissan). I'll take my 2001 Camry LE over this one any day. I fail to see why this Camry is rated so high by many people, confused! UPDATE (2/19/2017): Letters were sent to Toyota Headquarters in California and to Southeast Toyota headquarters and were ignored. Took the car to the dealership for service and was basically ignored (you can show them and demonstrate the issues and they just shake their head and say they don't see a problem, must be corporate brainwashing). Was so disappointed with this car that I traded it in for a Mercedes in November 2017 (lost money on the Toyota, of course). My advise is to rent before you buy to really get to know the car.

After 8 months of ownership, still have to worry about oil leaking from my new Camry. Not what I expected from one of the top rated cars. With a new car, didn't want to have any issues whatsoever! How many of new car owners have to check where you park for oil leaks? Very sorry I bought the car, but how many people buy cars that look for oil leaks from a BRAND NEW CAR??? Anyway I am trying to get over it, but my car payment each month reminds me! By the way, when dealership repaired oil leak, someone put a palm size dent in my hood when slamming it down!! How lucky am I?

Before you buy this car, rent one . Second find a good tune on the radio and fade to the rear and fade is what it does there will be no sound . Dealer says that is how its made. If you have owned a previous model don't expect the same ride or comfort level. My prior was a 2010 LE and I would take it back if I could. Now to my last fight with Toyota, park the car on a level spot ,look from the rear, it will lean towards the drivers side its called the Toyota lean. The last spec quoted to me was 1.5" is good and no correction. I was lent a 2015 se and it also is the same. Maybe I am anal but it bugs the hell out of me. As to the interior the glove box is a joke no room, the carpet " what carpet" Oh the floor felt is very cheep maybe a little thickness might eat some of the road noise. Enough of me wining its a love hate relationship with this one. Update traded up to a Avalon

We'll, it's a Camry. Most of the charateristic are the same. I really want to focus on suggestion and improvement.... 1. Road noise a major issue. Some wind and engine noise as well. Need better sound damping. (3/1/18) upgraded to Michelin tires help a little but not wind noise. 2. Interior layout seem outdated. The shift handle should be move way from center. Need more USB charging port 3. Ugly front grill. Don't know what they were thinking with the grill. 4. Did I mention ugly front grill. Any suggestion on what I can do to hide the lower part of the grill would be appreciated. 5. The shift doesn't seem as smooth sometimes. either over or under shift.

XSE V6 BEST VALUE , FAST, COMFY, RELIABLE

I have had this Camry XSE v6 for two months and 3 thousand miles now. I purchased it with 8 K on it pre owned dealer car and LOVE it. The car is pure vanilla but FRENCH VANILLA ! The quality of workmanship, the quiet ride, comfy on long rides, great looks and a drivetrain with a great sounding fast v6 attached to a quick shifting tranny makes this car fun to drive with surprising MPG as much as 32.8 highway. This car just does everything right !
