Best car I have ever enjoyed

2016 Toyota Camry XSE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

I purchased the V-6 XSE which is getting me a very consistent 34 MPG (Imperial) or 8.3 l/100 km. I test drove every mid size sedan and some small sedans such as the VW GLI and Audi A3 Quatro. (while these two would have been my 3rd & 2nd choices, I could not justify their price & reliability ratings compared to the Camry. The Camry has been absolutely trouble free, with not so much as a rattle developing. I anticipate that this car will see the dealer as much as my last Toyota Corolla which saw the dealer only once to get a recall repair. Power of this auto is the most surprising and fun aspect.

Camry XLE with 6 cyclinders .. at the 4000 miles

2016 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

We have [previously owned 3 Toyota Camrys. This well equipped XLE's sedan's performance is fine with us. Very good engine response and a comfortable interior for the long ten hour drives. Radio wise, strongly suggest that you turn off the surround sound option since this greatly improved the listening quality to hearing music. The GPS system is pretty good but Google Maps is more precise. For a house number, Google Maps get you to the front door. Camry's will get you close by one to houses away. Providing verbal commands, the system does not always accurately catch it. Perhaps my Bostonian accent? The headlights are excellent. The side mirror detection alerts that another vehicle is my blind spot is a terrific safety feature. For carrying stuff, it offers a very good trunk size and the rear seats fold down. too. Gas mileage, for this six cylinder engine, it is about five MPG less than my 2008 Camry with six cylinder engine. WHY? I don't know but I expected it to be same. The car is pretty is quiet. We like and enjoy the car.

2017 SE

2016 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful

This is my first Toyota since my first Accord in 2000. I sold my 2012 Accord. My wife has had RAV4's in the 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 generations. She loves them. I really wanted a new Accord. I was looking at the 2017 Sport. Not the Sport SE. No matter how many times I drove a 2016 I simply could not deal with the CVT. Now to be honest, there were traits the Accord had that I really preferred. Specifically handling and front seat comfort. However, my SE while no sport oriented midsize sedan is very satisfying. I only have 1,200 miles on it but as my wife's RAV's have been, I have not noticed a single manufacturing issue. The interior IMO is no louder than an Accord. My SE has the lousy Bridgestone Turanza 400's and they account for 75% of any road noise. So, I'm really liking this purchase. It's plenty quick enough for me. Has very strong brakes IMO, and can easily maneuver in any situation I might find myself in. I expect it to be bulletproof as 98% of Camry's are, and It was $2,800 less that the Base Accord Sport CVT would have cost me. Highly recommended.

2016 Toyota Camry SE - Disappointing

Disappointed 2016 Camry Owner, 12/04/2015
2016 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
17 of 23 people found this review helpful

First of All, I'm a huge Toyota fan! I've owned 3 Toyota in the past. A 4Runner, 2 Camry 1995 & 2005 which I still have. I recently bought a 2016 Camry SE and had for a week. I am "Not" happy! It's a lot noiser, it doesn't drives smooth as two of my older ones, you can feel every little bump on the road, my tracker control constantly comes on, horsepower is a lot less from previous models, the carpet and door handle feels cheap. Overall I feel like I'm driving a 2008 Scion TC (which I used to own) the only difference the Scion TC had a lot more power. I'm very disappointed in my purchase. The quality in Toyota has gone down. I'm already looking into trading the 2016 Camry in for something that drives smoother! Almost forgot, the steering wheel feels slippery and not tight and firm as my older Camry. Also be careful driving on a windy day. The car shifts from right to left like your fish tailing. This car is made weak, light and cheap!

Love it!

I looked at several cars, suv's and trucks. Mostly suv's and cars. After much research I chose between 2 cars. I wanted good fuel economy, a good ride, good quality with reliable service. And a good looking vehicle inside and out. And a few options. I choose the 20 16 Camry XLE over a 2015 Honda Accord Ex-L. The Camry was a little higher in purchase cost but gave me everything I was looking for in a car. I think it drives and rides great. The 4 cylinder has plenty of power and fuel economy. The interior and exterior are good looking. My only complaint was the lack a availability in the car I wanted with the options I wanted. I bought the XLE with sunroof and convenience package.
