2017 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
13 of 17 people found this review helpful
I really like the car. It's the best car I could find for the money I paid and I've always wanted a Camry since they started making them 20 miles away from me. I got it when they were clearing out the 2017 models to make room for the new ones, so I got a great price. The only complaint I have is a little bit of wind noise around the drivers side window. Even though the LE is the base model, it has plenty of features to it and I didn't need or want most of the things found in the higher priced models. So I am very satisfied with the car and I'm glad I bought it. It's not the most exciting car but at my age I don't need speed. And I didn't want a sports car, or a car that rode like one. I wanted a good, smooth riding, reliable car that will serve me well for a long time. It does everything well you expect from a car. After owning the car for a year I have some updated thoughts on the Camry. I think they just don't make them the way they used to. Even though I like the car, it sure isn't perfect. I have wind noise coming from the drivers window and door. The dealership stated that they would have to get a Toyota engineer to test drive it to determine if it's excessive. That's basically a way of saying they don't want to bother with it. It is excessive and it's rather bothersome, especially at interstate speeds. The dealership stated they hadn't had complaints about wind noise on this model vehicle but I have read reviews and many owners stated they had wind noise too. Another thing I don't like is I can hear every little imperfection in the road. That doesn't mean I feel it but I do hear it, that's annoying too. There is a distinct noise coming from underneath the car somewhere when I hit certain bumps. It just gives me a feeling that the car wasn't built and put together well. That is a feeling I don't like. With no other car have I heard wind noise and sounds when I hit bumps, not like this. I have even had thoughts it had been wrecked badly and put back together. I don't have other complaints about the 2017 Camry LE, but I think this is enough. I set out to buy what hopefully was gonna be the last car I buy. But now I'm thinking when I pay it off I should sell it and buy another car, probably not a Toyota. I wasn't expecting perfection but I was expecting what I've always heard about a Camry. This car doesn't inspire confidence and even though I don't feel it's just going to fall apart while driving it, it gives me an uneasy feeling at times. Maybe I'll have another update some day. Edmunds invited me to update my review. After owning the car for two and a half years I still feel the same. The noise from the rear was coming from the spare tire in the trunk. It doesn't have a tie down for the tire so it makes a thump when I hit a bump. But the wind noise is still there and maybe even worse and it annoys me every time I get in it. It's enough that I've considered selling it and buying another vehicle even though I seldom drive and I'd lose money if I sold it and bought another vehicle. But I still might do that because of the noise factor. I've had old cars in the past that didn't make that much noise while driving. Well, here's an update. With the wind noise and hearing what sounded like problems with the underside of the car, I traded it in on a new vehicle. I don't know how reliable it will be but I really like the car a lot so far. It's a Hyundai Santa Fe. I do not own the Camry now.

2017 Toyota Camry XSE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Toyota is not what it used to be! I regret the purchase of the 2017 Camry XSE. The automatic transmission is a piece of junk, to the point of being a safety concern.... slow to kickdown when stepping on the gas when you need the power of the V6 the most. Toyotas response= works as designed!! Transmission extremely noisey Toyota replaced with a rebuilt transmission.. TOYOTA refused to provide a new transmission. Rebuilt transmission made the same noises and had delayed kickdown shifts as well. Premium JBL Sound system anything but.... the standard system is the one with the premium sound. Toyota "customer experience" provides excuses and lies, not fixes for these defects. Paid $35000 for this piece of junk..... will never do business again with Toyota and advise others to beware of the terrible ownership experience. Will utilize my states Lemon law to get my money back from this purchase!! The Mazda 6 is a much better choice!!

I love my 17 Camry!!!.. $1,000 was taken off the price before purchase.. The sleek design and quietness of the car is AMAZING!!! Already took a road trip, NOT disappointed! I've driven cars that handle better, not to say that the Camry doesn't handle well, but the car seems VERY light.. I guess this is because of the design of the car. Also, it is slow to mount up speed, but once desired speed is hit, it is fine... I am just a 50ish year old woman who want's the car TO START and NOT have ANY major issues!!! My vehicle had 1 previous owner and ONLY 30,000 miles!!! LOVE MY Camry!!! I LOVE the FACT that, I am driving a Camry and feel totally safe!!! I WOULD NOT TRADE MY CAMRY FOR NOTHN!!!

I Miss My Old Solara

The interior of this car is very cheaply made. Crappy plastic parts. Horrible fabric on seats. Uncomfortable seats. I had the same Solara for 10 years. It drive like a dream. The seats were very comfortable, and had this wonderful velour type fabric. Although it was 10 years old, The med grey colored fabric and other interior materials could be easily cleaned. I hate the cheap looking plastic doors that get scratched so easily? I hate the car seat fabric in my Camry. My dogs travel with me, so they shed. The bad thing about these seats is that the dog hair WILL NOT come out of these seats. Sure, I could leave my dogs at home, but why should I? WTH Toyota? What happened to the interior quality of your vehicles? I hate to know what it would look like in 10 years. I breaks my heart, because I totaled my Solara, then bought this car thinking it was more similar than it really is. It's just a shame that the INTERIOR of a car can make he hate it so bad. (Bought in 2/2017)
