The performance of this car is fine and the ride is the same as my other 4 Camry's. The problem with this car versus my other Camry's is the materials used in the front bumper and the under skirting is all plastic. I am very particular about keeping my cars detailed and if I would have really looked this car over I probably would have looked for something else. The front bumper just cracked approx a foot in front of the right tire. The crack is approx 2" in length. I took this to the collision department at the dealership and was told this was going to be a problem with this model because of how low the bumper is and how thin the plastic is. This showed up after having the car for just 2 months. Today I go out in the garage and look at a new crack at the plastic mud flap on the right side in front of the rear tire. I actually got under the car and when looking at the undercarriage it looks no stronger than a Tonca truck. I serviced my own vehicles and was under each vehicle and know that this vehicle doesn't live up to the Toyota standards that I had become used to. Going to the dealership tomorrow and voicing my dissatisfaction with this vehicle. Update.... I just had the plastic grill replaced under warranty due to the paint flaking off. The issues with the integrity of the body continue.

18mo update: still as great as purchased. No issues with car. I had to replace a tire (nail) with over 20k miles on the rest. Tread was 7mm on old ones and cannot tell where the new one is. I did match the Michelin energy saver. 1yr Update: Still a wonderful car!! Toyota should be shot over the gas mileage, though!! I drive it as easy as I can on mostly highway and typically see close to 33 mpg on the computer. That equates to 31 mpg when I divide the mileage by the fill-up. Highway is accurate. Expect 20 mpg in city if u drive extremely conservatively. My wife's 7-passenger MDX gets better mpg in the city. The display for the radio seems a bit of a waste with no gps, but u get used to it. Original message: While deciding on the Camry, I drove 1 SE and 3 LEs. The SE definitely had the better tuned suspension, but the seat comfort (especially in the rear) and bumpy feel were a turnoff. The paddle shifter did not tune down the engine enough to be effective and it sometimes did not switch back to automatic shifting while it was still in D. Sit in the middle of the back seat (like a wooden 2x4). LE was much smoother and more comfortable; however, I began to notice the wind noise in 2 of the cars (1 more pronounced from passenger side and the other on the driver side) as well as a bad vibration above 60 mph in one of them. I finally found one with no noise or vibration. They all had Michelin tires, so you can't blame the tire unless mfr is putting out sporadic poor-quality tires. Camry had good acceleration from a stop but hesitated after slowing down. If you slap it into S and down shift a gear or two, there will be no hesitation!! Also, steering is very vague when going slow and weaving from lane to lane. But I had absolutely no issue with it cornering (as good as my '06 Accord). I strongly recommend test driving the car before purchase and ensuring you are happy with it. For comparison, I tested the Legacy and Accord. Similar feel for the Accord Sport - not into the bumps and paddle shifters do not affect the transmission enough to be fun. 20-60 mph acceleration was the best, but 0-20 was very sluggish. I want to accelerate the fastest from 0-40. Accord LX is nice (looks better on inside and more functionality but no ability to downshift when needed. The Legacy was my favorite. The ride was a little noisier but mostly comparable. The interior looked and felt cheap (and not as comfortable). But the drive-ability was by far the best. Paddle shifters torqued the engine well for breaking and resumed in drive when accelerating. You can go manual with it like in the Camry. It is very punchy for 0-40 mph. The Legacy is also well laid out for maintenance. The problem I had is there are not enough Legacys on the lots to get a great deal. And you have to hope they have the one you want. The dealer by me had maybe 6 on the lot and was not getting any more in until the 2017 models come out in 4-5 months. After driving my wife's Acura, I do NOT want any lane-deviation warning or front collision warning!! And you can throw away any deals for a while if you wait for 2017s.

I have not had this certified 2016 Camry long enough to comment on value or reliability, but I can certainly say something about comfort and quality. The interior material quality is so far below what my old Camry had it's startling, but then that car was a 2002 ,so lots of "water under the bridge" since then. There have been obviously many cost cutting changes since then. At least the black materials conceals some of the cheapness while the tacky ash color option really hi-lighted it. (I'd still have the '02 if it hadn't been in an accident. It was still running great for the amount I drive, and I loved it.) The noise from tires or road noise makes me think there is a drummer under the car banging on twin drums. It's quite intolerable, so I'll have to keep the radio on really loud to mask the din. But the worst feature for me is the horrendous bucket seat which, despite constant efforts, I cannot adjust to be comfortable. The 6 way controls just don't help. Since when is sitting in a depression with your pelvis tilted backward ergonomically desirable. Various cushions and pillows have not helped to date. So I'm not sure what the next step for me is for this newer but certainly not better Camry.

Bad ride

I like my new Camry as far as looks, however, I find the ride to be thumpy and a lot of roll and pitch. I feel everything in the road surface. Test driven models seemed OK but the one I actually bought seems to not ride very well. Also, I don't like the head rest leaning so far forward. Really hard to sit in a good ergonomic position w/o having the headrest pushing my head forward. I would like all car manufacturers to have repositionable headrests, like the 1994 Camry had.

had a 2013 camry now have the 2016 camry se. the 2016 from the stand point of road noise is not acceptable. you cannot use the Bluetooth phone capability while moving and when stopped only if you turn off the air conditioning fan. this is my 6th Toyota product and the only 1 I wish I had not bought , only because of the road noise. I wonder if its the tires they put on them this year? or location of microphone or sensitivity of microphone ?
