If I wanted rattles, I would have bought a Chevy

2018 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)
4 of 7 people found this review helpful
The re-styled dashboard has rattles and buzzes whereas my 2 previous Toyotas had none - this drives me crazy. The transmission works poorly by shifting into higher gears too soon and then refusing to downshift unless heavy throttle is applied. This makes the car feel sluggish compared to my previous 2015 Camry even though the horsepower has increased to 203. The engine itself is quite noisy under even moderate acceleration and there is a lot of tire/road noise. The ride is also a little choppy over uneven surfaces. I test-drove a Kia Optima S which was much quieter and smoother but because of poorer gas mileage and higher insurance costs ultimately chose the Camry. Now I wish I hadn't. The problems other people report with the entertainment/navigation system have not been a problem for us simply because we don't use these functions.

Entune / Scout Terrible

Do not purchase a 2018 Camry, the 2019 does add Apple Carplay. The 2018 Entune and Scout system is not compatible and does not work with an Apple Iphone. Toyota has no plans to update, fix or offer any corrective action on the 2018 Camry.

Redesigned Camry Not Ready for Road

Pros: I'll have to get back to you on this. Then why'd I buy the car? Dunno. Cons: Bad transmission greatly reduces drivability by shifting into higher gears quickly and then refusing to downshift. Engine is very noisy. Poor quality materials in interior cause many rattles. Front seat bottom cushion is too short and cuts into thighs. Dumb: Can't lift driver's side windshield wiper far enough so it stays extended which limits ability to remove snow from windshield. Was Toyota not planning to sell the car where it snows? Turning the rotary knob to decrease the amount of heat all the way to its stop turns on the Max AC unless it is carefully placed one click from the end. Indicator for rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) is very bright and stays on when the transmission is in drive. Why does anyone need to know that the RCTA is on when driving forward down the road?

2018 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)
4 of 8 people found this review helpful
In true millennial style I always read reviews before buying... for everything. From shampoo to HVAC units, I read reviews and then read some more. Car buying was no different. I test drove several other cars in the mid size class... honda, kia, nissan, hyundai to name a few. The 2018 Camry outdid them all. Because of this I couldn't wrap my head around all of the negative reviews. While I do read reviews I don't necessarily always take them for the gospel and Toyota's reputation proceeds itself... so I went with it. I've honestly never been more pleased with a decision. Other reviews mention negative thoughts on the entertainment suite, gears not switching smoothly, lane departure steering assist, head light brightness... I've never had an issue with the entertainment suite and I use it everyday. I have to imagine that like a lot of things with technology these days, it often isn't the technology but a user error. The ride is very smooth and I haven't noticed any difference between 6 gears and 8 gears. If anything it's a more seamless progression. I haven't felt like I should be in a different gear once. The lane departure steering assist is a huge asset and straightens me back up in my lane each time. The adaptive cruise control is also a super useful feature. Gas mileage is out of this world. I drive roughly 80 miles round trip 5 days a week with a pretty equal balance of city and highway driving and I'm averaging 37+mpg. The headlights are not too bright, they're perfect and I haven't been bright lighted once. There is one teeny tiny negative I will note, there is a small piece of the dash on the passenger side that somewhat interferes with the passenger's ride if they are very tall (6'5"+) but no issue if they are the driver. I have to imagine that many of you negative reviewers are extremely petty people that are a nightmare to interact with and probably nitpick everything to death. Don't take it out on the Camry, folks. To the buyer that'son the fence, buy the car--it's awesome and you won'tbe won't disappointed. I've never had a bad experience at a Toyota dealership either. The warranties and maintenance plans are great add ons as well.

This car is a great value. It has a very sporty and stylish exterior. The interior is well designed, and functional. It has solid acceleration and it corners well with the SE trim. Many good safety features too. The Toyota reliability record is another factor in its favor. I would highly recommend this vehicle. I have now owned this car for 4 1/2 years, and it still runs great.

Ok more than 70,000 miles on my 3018 Camry. Only normal maintenance nothing more. Few minor issues, clip opening fuel door replaced a few times, infotainment system could be a bit more reliable even after switching to Apple Carplay, and at the time I purchased, AWD was not available which is really helpful in New England. That being said, as for dependability no issues, and cost of ownership,my Camry stands up to Toyota’s reputation.

Meets the mark, but a couple shortcomings

I drove an '04 Corolla for 6 years before this, so I'll be more mesmerized than most. I've had the car for about 15K miles, and it's at 63K total. Starting with the bad. The shifting in 1st and 2nd gear makes me miss the smooth ride of my old Corolla (though I replaced that transmission at 225K). It's especially awful in stop and go traffic, and I typically use the semi-automatic mode to shift manually, so that I don't get jerked around. This is where the previous Corolla experience probably skews me the most: the steering can get exhaustive. It takes a lot of effort from your arms to make long drives. Maybe the LE shines there a little more. The fuel tank (though I haven't run it dry yet) seems to bottom out at 13 gallons instead of the listed 16, likely due to the fuel pump, but still seems to be an inefficient system. The engine noise while accelerating is a little noisier than I'd like, and it's not an attractive turbocharger type noise. The bluetooth calling blocks ambient noise impeccably except for the blinker. Very annoying for the person on the other end. Now the good. The dynamic cruise control works well for an economy car and is a life saver on the fairly frequent 500 mile trips I have to make. Would never buy another car without it! The gas mileage hits the mark of the EPA estimates and can hit the HWY MPG even at 80 mph cruising. The car responds great to throttle. I can kick it while merging and make quick moves and feeling safe without having to deal with throttle hesitations. The car banks beautifully on tight corners at higher speeds, giving it a bit of a sports car feel, but the second there is any unevenness in the road, it feels like the back end is going to slide away. The lane departure assist is a little clunky, but when you're dozing off on a long road trip at night it is quite literally a life saver. I have experienced the automatic breaking once while coming around a corner to standstill traffic, and it performed perfectly until I could react. Apple CarPlay adds a lot of great functionality especially the navigation, but it's a shame that Android Auto retrofitting isn't done. First oil change was a quick job for me. Can still count on Toyota for that! Overall, a good car with some convenient driving features that I'm happy to have, and is a lot of fun to take on a quiet back road. I would only buy another if the jerky low shifting was fixed.

If you are a music lover like me do not buy this car, I have always made my own cds and love the sound quality and lack of commercials so I thought it would be great with the Bluetooth you can actually play music thats on your phone or even youtube playlist but the Bluetooth is very disappointing, it goes in and out, the iheart is the same way, as I said I am a music lover and always have my music going and honestly I prefer making my own cds and having the cd player then this poor excuse for a Bluetooth, I was never told they have 3 different entunes until I called in to find out why I could not crank my car from inside my house to warm up (another con) I was told only if you have the entune plus or premium I could do this and I only had the basic but considering I did but the xle I would think it would have at least the plus in it but its just another way to make money, they offer to upgrade for more money of course, no thanks!! I am giving it a year and trading this car in, I am thinking of trying a honda next time, I have always been a Toyota person but the 2018 model gives me the impression Toyota is going cheap these days.

I have own this new 2018 Camry SE for a month, so far I like it and proud as a new Camry owner. First the car price is very good and attractive, my out of door price is ~2K below MRSP, my local sale tax is 7.75%. The car is loaded with lots of safety feature. One of them, pre-collision and auto braking was confirmed to work perfectly: the car warns and brake by itself when I try the lane departure function in a slow traffic one day and have not observed the vehicle in front of my car stopped .

From top to bottom, the 2018 Camry blows the 2017 out of the water. But it still has some annoying issues. Listening to texting has become more unsafe. Before, listening to a text in a Toyota meant a pop-up window with a "read" or "ignore" button. One step. SAFE. Now, it takes four steps to hear a text. Press "phone", "Message", select the text, "play". Now you are distracted more if you want to hear a text. If you get multiple texts, same thing. No more easy, one-step, pop-up window. Its three more steps. "Back", Select the text, "Play". Even more distracted driving. If you are listening to tunes and want to select a specific song, artist, album, etc. you can't... Unless the car is stopped and in Park. Otherwise, attempting to select something specific will activate the first song in that category. HUH? The same with the album pictures. The screen will no longer show album pictures... UNLESS... you are stopped and IN PARK. Why? Safety? Pics are for at-a-glance referencing. Now, you have to read. More distractions. Last is more of a peeve, than a flaw. The back-up camera is STILL using the straight line path, instead of the projected path camera, which has been around for a while. Other brands have had projected path cameras since 2013. Some have both straight and projected together. But the good is, the seats are comfortable. Less blind spots. Plenty of power to get you out of a tight spot. Still road noise but less than the 2017. The stereo sounds great but impossible to use while driving. Loads of trunk space. Still trouble with the voice recognition not understanding me but not a big deal.

To update my review on my beeping Camry, I ended up trading it in, after only 8,000 miles. There was this strange noise coming from the left driver side, down low, and it got worse with cold weather. Very loud when driving on the highway. I took it back to the dealer and they kept the car for one week and had the head honcho's look at it and guess what, they could not fix the problem!! I traded it for the RAV4 2019 which beeps just as much, but no noise. And I like it so much better. It has its own issues, but I am getting used to them. I would not get the 2018 V6 Camry, because you might end up with that same noise!! It does merge a heck of a lot better, on the highway, than the RAV4.

The GPS has been in the shop multi times. They said was my phone. Got a new phone. Still didnt work. Tested my new phone in another car. GPS worked fine. Toyota still told Larson to test the Phone again. This has been going on for a couple mos. Even after one of the worker's phone wouldn't work in the car. They are finally replacing the GPS. But is it going to be another pos GPS. I have spent sooo much time in there about this GPS. My Camry XLE is fully loaded and only has 10,775 miles. So give me a break. They really should give me my money back. I had not smoked in 12 years. Now I'm smoking. This crap keep up i will be drinking. Anymore issues with the GPS and I'm invoking the law. I would never get another car that the GPS runs off the phone.

I have owned 4 Camrys in the past and this 2018 is looking and sounding more like a sports car. I'm not impressed with that aspect of it. if I wanted a sports car I would buy something else. and I absolutely hate the commercials. I wont be buying another one any time soon. If they get ride of the noise when shifting that would make a difference.

it has been three years and there is still no navigation. Entune is officially DEAD killed by Toyota! They now want an additional $140 for the dealer to make a software upgrade so i can use WAZE (MAYBE). Toyota sticks with Scout which does not work and is dangerous. I spend hours in the idling car with a dealer representative trying to get Entune to work. I was a network analyst administrator. We never got it to work. Edmunds has deleted my original review? Obviously they are biased toward car manufacturers. Toyota could provide a mirror application that would enable us to use Waze on the built in screen. Toyota refuses? Two thousand dollars for a useless tube that occupies valuable real estate on your dashboard. the mechanics of the car is disturbing. the engine shifts wildly with eight speeds and inefficiently. the car has wind noise in the front door. when you close the door it sounds cheap and tinny. i wish i had purchased a Honda. You should purchase a Honda. there has been very heavy depreciation on the car. This is something that I did not expect from a Toyota. This just must have been a bad design and implementation. This was an unfortunate purchase.

I bought in Aug 2017 brand new. Car is 2018 Camry LE. I have 48,000 miles on it right now and this happened yesterday. Check engine malfunction-pre-collision system malfunction-secondary collision brake system malfunction-. Do not drive, contact dealer immediately. It is at the Toyota Dealership Repair Shop. Is this a recall situation? The first new car I have ever purchased and something like this happens. Not happy.

This iteration is very well-equipped, quiet, handles well, and is quick. The transmission is responsive is sport mode but hunts for the right gear on occasion in the other modes. The car is responsive to steering inputs, stable on the road and corners well (for a sedan). The only problem I have is that the bright metal on the dash reflects into the side window on both sides of the car making the blind spot warning hard to see at times. You would think the designers would have caught that and put a matte finish on the bright chrome (plastic, I think). I traded in my Genesis Rspec coupe and thought I would really miss it (I loved that car), but I don't. We are enjoying the spaciousness, the attractive styling, and the new safety features. It also helped that I felt I got a pretty good deal from the dealership.

I have a 2018 SE Camry and would give it 4.5 stars. Personally, I think this car is an excellent option for a reliable, fuel-efficient daily driver that will get the job done. The only two negatives that I have are the infotainment system and the transmission. The infotainment seems a little clunky to me, and using the apps like Pandora, entune, navigation, and etc. requires you download an app on your phone, which also doesn't seem very optimized. I actually never really use the infotainment system however, and primarily use bluetooth for my music and a car mount to put my phone for GPS navigation, which I don't mind at all and works for me. The 8-speed transmission takes a little-bit of getting used to, as it can sometimes the shifting can be a little awkward for example when you're trying accelerate hard up starting from the middle of a steep hill, or conversely accelerating down. Besides that minor gripe, acceleration on the 4cyl is more than adequate for daily traffic needs. I would say the transmission really shines in the mid-high speed range (40-80mph), as I think the car really performs very smoothly ramping up to pretty quick speed without pressing the gas pedal so hard. Other than that, ride quality, steering and handling, cargo space, and comfort are all also pretty great.

We all want a safety system that a brand new car provides but this system is so sensitive and so loud that it causes us to doubt our driving ability and eventually ignore it all together ... not what it should be doing. I thought it was just me being oversensitive, but when my daughter came home from college and used exactly the same terminology as I did after driving it and eventually had a friend direct her from outside the car, because they gave up listening to the system, I knew it was a problem. We recently purchased another new vehicle for our family, a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, with all the updated safety systems and it is a much better combination of awareness and alarm notifications - I feel much calmer driving it because I'm not being "yelled" at, just warned. We leased the Camry with the intention of purchasing at the end of the lease but will now not be doing that.

Purchased this car based on my past experience with Toyota Camrys. Buying this car was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I was so disappointed with the quality of the changes that were made. The car is not built with drivers in mind. Terrible entune 3.0 system with no on board Nav. System and no way to upgrade it without major problems. Poor quality seats and many other features no longer available that was standard on past years. This car looks great and that's were it stops. My 2018 Camry XSE was simply a over priced cheaply built car. I wanted to return it after only 1 month. I managed to get rid of it but not without taking a loss. I am still happy the car is gone with all its quirks. I can tell there will be future issue with the stereo and electronics components. Don't make the mistake I did. Do not buy this Car. Rent one first then you will see what I mean.

Pros: - Still reliable compared to most on the market. - Pretty roomy for a 5' 10" hefty person like me, along with anyone that would want in the back seat. - Decent build quality for the most part. - AC works really well in tandem with tinted windows. Cons: - The absolute dumbest way to do resting position for wipers is on this car, instead of simply lifting them up, you have to turn off your car, hold the wiper stock up for a few seconds, and THEN it will go into resting position. I scratched a good bit of paint off the hood not knowing this. - Really poor visibility, at least on this trim, I have to angle my rear view windows to see anything behind me or try to look behind me and hope for the best. - A small amount of ice caused my tank door to not open, unacceptable. - Trunk size is small for a car this size, if you wanted to put anything of a decently large size in here, you're out of luck, even if you folded the rear seats down, the trunk opening is much smaller than what it should be. - Driving it around is a pain, the transmission is incredibly lurchy and slow, and the pedals and steering wheel are far heavier than anything I've driven that has power steering and brakes. - The infotainment system is horrible, this model year does not have Android Auto, only Carplay via firmware update. - The appearance of the car doesn't fit the performance of the car, its rather gaudy. - The rims don't allow regular tires, only low profile ones. This may not be a con for you, but it is for me. - The seats are rather uncomfortable on even semi-long commutes of 30 minutes. - If you so happen to get remote start on this car, you will not be able to set it to Defrost the windshield and back window. The setting will not stick and it will default to what it was on last. Conclusion: If you truly want a Camry, get a previous model year, or get a later year Camry in LE trim, you are not missing out on getting the SE trim. Overwhelmingly disappointing and honestly a bad product. Shame on you, Toyota, you're slipping.

I bought a 2018 XSE V6 at the end of 2019 with 18,000 miles on it. Pros: The 301 hp offers great acceleration for an otherwise ordinary production sedan. The low profile tires offer less flex in turns which makes for good handling. The inside is well laid out and attractive. I've taken quite a few cars by surprise that thought they would have no problem getting a jump on a Camry including a 4 cyl turbo Camaro. Cons: Roof is all glass and is probably just a matter of time before it leaks or malfunctions, esp. if parked outside. No built in navigation, and entune suite is worthless, which personally I could care less about, however if I paid $38k for this car new (instead of $26k used), that might be a different story. If you open the glovebox while you are moving, things fall out. The gas mileage is worse in Eco-mode due to having to step on the gas harder, it feels like you are pulling a Winnebago in Eco-mode. Avoid this mode at all costs in the event the car attempts to memorize. 19" rims and low profile tires are not good with winter/ potholes Conclusion: It's basically a very fast, computer with a glass roof, and somewhat of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Love my car

Beautiful, sporty exterior lines and comfortable interior. Our XSE V6 offers snappy performance, good economy and superior safety. We love the instrumentation, especially the Head Up Display (HUD). Once you've used the HUD you won't be able to understand why all vehicles don't have it as standard equipment. Excellent fit and finish inside and out.

recently bought an xle.. and although satisfied with its appearance , quite comfortably and utility-I'm disappointed with its mpg (a decent 4o on the hwy one should get more than 22 mpg in town) and the fact that Toyota skimped on its audio system -- i,e sound is tinny, no option for sirius radio or cd..but all in all a good car with great value

I have had my V6 XSE for 2 months. Bought it new off the showroom floor. The 2 glaring setbacks are the Nav/Entune system and the acceleration response. I wont comment on the Entune and Nav because those are not important to me i dont liaten to the radio and i usually know where im going and dont need a robot to tell me where to go. The transmission response is more concerning. It is slow and i ONLY use Sport mode when driving. Once it kicks in you will feel all 300 HP and i almost thought i was in a Corvette, and i have owned 4 Corvettes. Styling and comfort are amazing this car looks like a Lexus and everyone compliments it. If you are picky about technology and like robots to run your life then get an Accord. I will stay with Toyota

Good car but one cheap flaw nobody mentions

All the great reviews out there about the Toyota Camry are true but there is one significant flaw all the road tests miss. The loud sound that reverberates through the cabin from the wheel wells when driving on wet roads. There must be a cheap lack of noise dampening in the wheel wells. Weird because the ride is very quiet and pleasant on dry roads. But on wet roads, especially in heavy rain or slush, the noise of spray hitting the undercarriage is very disconcerting compared to any other vehicle I have driven. It can be somewhat unnerving and diminishes driver confidence. Toyota clearly cut corners on noise dampening in the wheel wells. If you live in a wet climate especially where there is often snow and slush on the road you may want to consider another vehicle. It is that annoying. I am going to try installing Dynamat Sound Deadener mats to see if that helps. If I had known about this noise issue I would have bought an Accord or Legacy but I didn’t test drive in the rain. I find the cloth seats somewhat uncomfortable after a couple hours. I am 6’3” and 220 lbs. the seating position is very low.

I waited a month to write my review after I purchased the car. Overall, the car is fine and rides nice. It’s a Toyota and we all know it will last forever. The Entune 3.0 system is adequate but could be better. Hopefully Toyota will have Apple Car Play or Android Auto soon. My biggest thing is how the car rides and how it looks. It is very smooth and feels solid. The new design is also very nice. I traded my 13 Accord for the 18 Camry and have not regretted my decision.
The Best Car in Its Class for me.

Compare all the other cars in the same class that you are considering and pick the best overall value. On an updated note I would say the sruspension is adequate but also was a disappointment but I was told by friends that to feel a really great suspension you need a higher class vehicle which for my preferred price point I’ll live with it because everything else is pretty great .

I am enjoying this car, not a lot of outside noise as you are driving. Acceleration is alright since this is a V4. I am still alright with my car. There are things I did not note before I bought the car that I had assumed was included. This car does not have the push button on and off button, but requires the key. My 2008 Camry was a push button so I assumed that was the case with the 2018. No so with the one I bought. Also, I miss the cassett player as I used that a lot in my 2008 Camry. Overall the car is fine and my radio provides the music I like. Just things I wish I had paid attention to.

2018 Camry Review

The 2018 Camry is a fairly good car based on the Toyota reputation. The biggest issue is the Scout app used for Navigation. We rarely got a good connection using our phones. Without a connection to the Nav., we could not do searches on the go. Very, very frustrating to say the least. Little did we know that this car was a 4 cylinder. We tried to upgrade to the 6 cylinder but could not find one that we wanted. We finally gave up and purchased a Lexus ES 350. Best decision so far. We are well pleased with the Lexus.

the entertainment app could use some work. I've had to reload it a few times to address connectivity issues. But's a great and fun car to drive. I feel very safe in it. It is very easy to handle on both city streets and highways.

Beautiful Car, but, the V6 felt a little heavy. The Main reason I test drove the XSE V6 was because it had the wonderful Dynamic Integrated Navigation. I have had a 2012 XLE Hybrid for years. My car has integrated Navigation. Only the 2018 Camrys with a V6 come with integrated Nav. The rest have the Scout Nav. You have to plug your phone in with a tether to the dash. The Scout app. Must be on your phone screen to get the same as integrated Nav. Even then, it is no where near the same. If the 2019 Camry doesn't have the dynamic integrated Navigation as an option on the car, I am buying a Honda Accord Hybrid touring edition. Both cars will have similar mpg and features. The soon to be released Avalon will have this integrated Navigation as an option. If the Camry doesn't follow suit, after 13 Toyotas I will buy a new Honda Accord hybrid touring edition.

Since we had so much issues with ABS lights on the 2017 Camry, traded in for this newer updated Camry. Although dealer suckered us for $4,000 cash down payment on top of trade in, we are satisfied with this Camry overall. UPDATE, 12/21/2019. Since last posted, car had been experiencing oil odor in the car when running A/C on max while parked after @25 minute drive to town. Intermittent problem that dealership maintenance manager first described as "plastic on intake vent" we were smelling...AFTER owning the car this long. Dealership maintenance failed to identify problem AFTER 3 reports we made. Last trip, they said it was a drop of oil from last oil change that we're smelling...AFTER 3 months?! 4th reports were blown off, stating that we need to come in when we're smelling the oil...we told them to keep the car, let it sit a week, start it and drive @25 minutes with A/C on max then park. What they told us LAST trip was that they(service manager), admitted they do smell oil as we had been reporting. Yet, they refused to give us a loaner so they can test the car as we suggested. Their excuse was that they have no loner for the long. We will invoke a lemon law if this continues and demand a FULL refund or a new car.

I purchased a 2018 Camry in July 2019, used after owning a '90, '91' '93, '97' 99' and a 2010 Camry. It is the SE model which adds a a few options the LE doesn't offer. This car has been an unpleasant experience since I purchased it. The tires constantly lose air despite having them all checked for leaks several times, requiring me to visit the air compressor about weekly, depending on the temperature outside. That's annoying. The infotainment system is plain awful, routinely shifting from stored iphone music (bluetooth) to podcasts I listen to on apps. I'm constantly having to compensate for the switch while driving. Recently, my steering became unresponsive, essentially leaving me without power steering and with a hard binding when making a turn. Dealer wants nearly $900 to replace rusty intermediate steering shaft. How do I possibly prevent that in the future? I clean the car regularly as is so what's to stop that from happening two years from now? The paint is terrible on these newer Toyotas too. My paint has far too many imperfections for a car that is regularly cleaned and maintained. I've never had worse. The 2018 Camry gets incredible fuel mileage, around 45 MPG on highway, and that is great but it's really about the only good thing about this car. I would not recommend purchasing a Camry of this generation.

Toyota quality but...

I'm giving it 3 stars for Toyota quality and it's a good looking car. We have owned many Toyota's through the years and they have been very reliable. The XSE is my wife's car and neither of us are fans of it, I have been driving it as well. Negatives, way to busy on the inside, too many buttons, font on gauges is small and hard to see, infotainment is just okay and a reach. The front doors are awkward, they shut on you or open really far out and sometimes they hit the sweet spot if you're lucky but it's an annoying design. We've blown 2 front tires from potholes that weren't that big, not sure what's going on with the rims and tires but they are a poorly designed combination, car has 17K miles. The transmission is constantly shifting and there is a lot of play in the gas peddle, its slow to get started and not intuitive and the performance problems are compounded when the air is on. Fit and finish is excellent and Toyota quality is there. In short the car is tiring to drive and the safety technology is also very annoying. We do not recommend buying this model. Maybe it was never designed to be a 4cyl or the body is to big for the engine, not sure but it's really easy to dislike this car. We are looking forward to the lease end and we are moving in the direction of electric, probably a Tesla 3 next.
