If you do not have a phone, some do not, you cannot get GPS. TRUE. Let me correct that, If you buy the top of the line and pay extra you can get GPS. I purchased a Hybrid. Was not told the Entune / GPS will not allow you to use the phone and GPS at the same time. Real convenient. Voice recognition is also the pits. Buy a Honda. This is my 3rd and last Toyota.

My gf and I rented an SE in Atl for 4 days. Here are some pros and cons of this vehicle. To start, it's a sharp looking car; aggressive lines, low, and large wheels make this stand out. Further, the handling is not your typical Camry as they changed the rear suspension to double wishbone. It handles like an older E60 5 series; very well planted but supple on the highway. Speaking of highway, the mpg is ridiculous. At 75mpg I was averaging 42 to the gallon. Over the course of our trip we drove around 100 miles. To refill before returning cost me a whopping $9. Impressive. The Cons are big however. The transmission needs an office space printer style beating. The 8 speed hunts for gears like an old basset hound whose lost her smell. There's a sport mode with paddle shifters, but they may as well have been developed by Fisher Price. A long 1 second pause between shifts happens before the tranny decides to act. Especially from a dead stop, the delay is maddening. My gf's head was constantly hitting the back of the headrest from the jerkiness. If your in sport mode and you don't pull the paddle, it goes into auto immediately. Moreover, the engine is chintzy and harsh. It whines when pushed above 3k. The entertainment system left a lot to be desired as well. Developed in house, its touch interface was slow and the layout was wonky. So in summary, the new 2018 Camry is kinda like the old Pontiac Fiero. Great looks but underpowered, a terrible transmission (the same shared with the new Tacomas that drivers also hate), and cheap tech on the inside. Stay far away from this one for now.

Entune constantly crashes. Keeping three apps always open on your phone to run the navigation system does not work. You still have to search by typing the address into the car unit. Scout maps can’t even get you to the closest grocery store. As the customer you are 100% responsible for making sure your phone will even work with the system. Don’t leave the dealership until they have your phone working with the unit as advertised. It will not work with an i-phone. The new transmission fails to respond in crucial lane change situations. I would not buy it based on

I purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry new, and it was a huge mistake. I previously had a 2014 Camry and should have never got rid of it, the 2014 never gave me a problem, and was great. The 2018 Camry, the sunroof squeaks and rattles. the motor is burning anti freeze (reservoir is always low) tires can easily pop when hit a pot hole, lights come on the dash then go away. I tried trading it in, and it's worth nothing (10, 000) it sank in a few months. By far the worst car I ever own, and probably never own another Toyota after this one.

My review didnt change! Great car! UPDATED: This is still the best midsized car on the road! I love the how u can quickly go from 0 to 60 and have a smooth luxurious ride! This car is a keeper! I will have this car for 10 years until the next best Camry comes out! FIRST REVIEW: I purchased my XSE last September. Coming from an 07 Camry SE V6. There simply is no comparison with the 301 HP and smooth drive this car has to offer; not to mention the technology it has. My car is fully loaded even has a CD player as I read a post from someone complaining about not having a CD player. The 8 generation Camry has outdone themselves 10x's over!! I can't say enough good things about this car other than you just have to drive one!!👍🏻
