The pluses? Tremendous headlights, good handling and mpg, plus it's quite comfortable. BUT little things Toyota missed, or didn't care about, drive me nuts on this car. You cannot roll down the back windows at over 25 mph or your ears will be pulsated to oblivion (well that's not a little thing). Plus the back windows wind down at warp speed so cracking a window for the dog is basically distracted driving. There's a release clip in the trunk that won't stay in place, the front bumper cover is held in place with FRAIL, cheap plastic clips, (as in UNBELIEVABLY cheap, my toaster's crumb tray is held on better) and replacement is $$$$$$$. One of my clips is cracked from scraping on a parking space marker at maybe one mph (seriously). and the dealership basically blew me off wouldn't even attempting to reattach it. Sent me to a body shop. The four cylinder engine is NOISY and shifts are rough at times, the tranny sounds like it has 200K miles on it. Except the headlights and the safety stuff, my 1999 Camry was a FAR better built car. Wow, I am Mr. Buyer's Remorse. I hate to take a beating but I am already looking to get out of this car at 7.500 miles. Sad. Don't even get me started on the COMPLETELY useless navigation system. I even called and sat in my driveway for 20 minutes while a tech reinstalled it, a complete waste of time. The entire Toyota Entune system is garbage, a complete shock from Toyota.

Transmission issue. The car hesitate between first and third gear. When you push it the engine is very Loud. Toyota needs to fix this issue very quickly.

This is a new design from the ground up. I've owned 2 of them (dealer let us trade in the 1st one as a replacement). They both suffer from awful transmissions. When you first put this car into gear in the morning, it slams really hard into gear, and rides terribly until it warms up. I've driven and owned several cars in my life, and never experienced this expect for on a 2003 Chevy Impala, and that car's transmission failed within a year of those symptoms. Research it, it's a widely known issue with the 2018 Camry. In fact, Toyota has already released a TSB on the issue, and they came up with a "software" update to the computer to fix the known issue. Except, it doesn't do anything. I believe it is a physical mechanical problem that cannot be fixed with a software update.

The car can not decide what gear it wants to be in. It randomly jumps and skips and bucks. I have had the car in 4 times. Test drove with a tech and he felt it and said it's not right. Toyota sent in a tech and wrote on my report that erratic shifting is normal there is nothing wrong with the car. What!! Are you kidding. Toyota or the dealer wants to fix the problem. The car is not safe. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. IT IS NOT SAFE.
