Used 2018 Toyota Camry Sedan Consumer Reviews
Not impressed
Just purchased 2018 Camry SE lease. The car looks absolutely sharp no doubt about it. However, 1st off the entune 3.0 app. Is the worst junk ever designed it will not work on the Camry! The instrument panel is confusing, distracting and difficult to navigate the stereo is absolute "junk" with horrible sound, only 1 USB in the new model, console storage is tucked under the dash..wtf! The car shifts awkward as if the tranny is bad. The car is supposedly faster than prior years...hmmm... "not", my lease was up on my prior 2015 Camry and I should have kept it because that car was awesome with no complaints at all. Toyota, you had better start stepping up to the plate.. there is much better competition catching up with much better lease options and price tags! I have always been a Toyota man until now.

JUNK JUNK AND MORE JUNK!
I traded in my 2015 Accord EXL for this on impluse. My family has drove toyotas and we have always loved them, I had a corolla for 12 years and never an issue, so I was not concerned about my impluse decision. My Accord was a great car, I just didn't not like the uncomfortable seats in my Accord, the styling and comfort of the Camry along with the toyota reputation sold me. I wish I would have let the car be out longer, to see what others were saying before I bought this. Don't let the looks fool you. The car has a clumsy transmission that jumps around and searches for gears, if you have to jump on the gas it takes literally.. 2-3 seconds before it kicks in, so good luck pulling out anywhere in a hurry. The engine is loud and rattles like a 10 year old car. The gas door won't open if it's the least bit cold, I have had this happen several times this winter. There is no satelite radio, or cd player. The radio is of poor qaulity or the doors are not sure which but even when on low there is a rattle with the least bit of bass in a song. It is listed as having a precollision warning system. I have yet to see do anyting I am begining to think it's more for looks. My Accord would warn you when you were too close, this doesn't light up, slow the car or anyting. I basically think it's a feature that does nothing. I had a guy stop in front of me 2x on a 70 mph interstate, the car never made a noise, blinked, or reacted. The entertaiment system if that's what you call it is horribly setup, and not userfriendly in the least. It's very archaic. Over all I can say I am exteremly disappointed in this car. I feel that Toyota is hiding major flaws and cheapness in a pretty exterior and some nice interior materials, but once you begin to drive the car it's evident it's not anyting close to an Accord, nor ever will it ever be. If Honda had not ruined the exterior design of the 2018 Accord I would be trading Camry for one, for now I am waiting until I find something I like to come along, once I do I will gladly be unloading this car. As a family who has always loved toyota's and this was the 4th one we have purcahsed wihtin 17 years... I strongly discourage buying a 2018 Camry.

Awesome...except for Scout GPS
No need to write much as most of the other reviews say it all. Beautiful car, handles great, slight noisy engine because of direct fuel injection, comfortable yet firm ride, cool bells & whistles, Entune 3 Sucks. Such a disappointment. I hear the 2019 Camry will have Apple play as does the new Avalon. Toyota really screwed this one up. Audio system sounds great, Scout GPS is the worst system I’ve ever used.

Love this car!
The Camry SE overall is an excellent vehicle, but there are a couple of things that need to be fixed/improved upon. It's pretty noisy when accelerating but it does quiet down as you get up to speed. The Entune infotainment system is the worst feature on the vehicle. It responds slowly and is basically a headache on most days so I'll just listen to my iPod or the radio when driving. When Entune does work, it's just okay at best. Handling is great as this is quite the easy vehicle to drive and it really scoots when you get on the highway. Make sure to pay attention to the speedometer because it's really easy to go faster than you may have intended. All things considered though, I really like this car and I'm happy to have it.

Lags similar built Accord
Driving control not great because gear shifting very weird during acceleration. Seat position too high. No HD radio. Only one USB is a joke. Disappointed did not buy Accord for slightly more because I had one before and it felt more refined in most things. Although the doors on the Camry seem thicker and more safe.
