The comfort of the car while driving a long distance. For me the seat was hard and not comfortable on a long trip.

Best car for the money these days, hands down

Having previously owned a high-mileage ‘96 LE with a cracked head that just wouldn’t die, I bought a 2015 LE, and later upgraded to a 2016 SE. For my money, I can say it’s the best car I’ve owned. 75K miles at purchase, and apart from routine maintenance, has only needed a battery, and a water pump in an additional 75k miles. Don’t be fooled by 10k oil service intervals or ‘lifetime’ transmission fluid and coolant. Change oil at 5k, trans fluid at 40-50k (exchange service is recommended – NOT a flush), and coolant service every 3-4 years. Car Care Nut on YouTube explains this well. Some cite uncomfortable seats, but I feel the SE model’s stiffer suspension is to blame, not the seats. Both the ‘15 LE and ‘16 SE are quite comfortable. While the SE’s handling was amazing, it rode like a 1950 Peterbilt. Fortunately, an SE can be fitted with the LE’s suspension by swapping steering knuckles for LE bits. I found a 13k-mile donor, and even 75k miles later, it still rides and handles great. These cars are prone to scraping on ramps and curbstops. Upgrading to 225/60R17 tires solves this, and bolsters the sporty look, as well as helping fuel economy. Factory infotainment screens do not last, sun exposure kills them. A custom-fit Dasaita PX6 upgrade barely last a year. I now have a Boss BE7ACP. Stock Toyota speakers sound great with this unit. Night driving is worlds better with Lasfit LEDs and headlight aim adjustment, though cheaper H9s and 9011s can be modified to fit existing H11 and 9005 sockets, yielding about 40% improvement. I recommend a Baxter Performance spin-on oil filter adapter to avoid potential damage to OEM plastic housings. Pricey, but well worth it. Much better for the engine's longevity. For those interested, Baxter’s adapter for the 2AR-FE takes a 1988-2006 3.0 V6 oil filter. While these upgrades cost around $2,500, they greatly increase my enjoyment of the car. Taller tires, ethanol-free 90-octane fuel (which also smoothed a noticeable shudder at idle), and tracking idle fuel usage in realtime combined with conservative driving have yielded a 30-39% improvement over EPA estimates – 30-35 city, 48-51 highway, 38-40 combined. And no, it’s not a hybrid. Best car for the money in most cases. A 4WD RAV4 or Highlander would be nice in winter, but I've rarely had a situation where that would have helped. It gets my seal of approval, and at 50, hopefully the last car I will ever buy.

Nice to look at, but not to drive

The good...It's very comfortable and nice to look at. I love the blind spot monitor. It comes in handy. The bad....I commute around 50 miles a day in heavy traffic. The engine in this car is not responsive at all. I've owned it for two years and am looking to get rid of it. I was so excited to get my Camry, now I'm more excited to get rid of it.

Problem 1: hook you on a lease then redesign the car again after 2 yrs. Resale value in the garbage can! Problem 2: Interior poorly designed, I live in the North East and car fogs up with.multiple people in car and people in rear are cold from lack of heating. No lighting on floors of car. Problem 3: Tires balding after 20k. Highly disappointed with quality with this one and lack of concern with Toyota support when I address all above issues. I was.always a Toyota fan- own a 2000 Landcruiser with 200k. Will not buy a car from them again-DONT GET HOOKED ON THE LEASE EITHER!
