Used 2018 Toyota Camry Sedan Consumer Reviews
SE 2.5 Initial Review
I bought my new Camry on St.Paddy’s day and have since put on a 1,000 miles. First off, the vehicle is incredibly smooth and handles broken pavement very well. No issues with the transmission, as it shifts seamlessly. I know that looks are subjective, but I find the SE Camry to be a beautiful car. My overall vehicle mileage so far has been 38.4 MPG which I find to be impressive since it is not a hybrid. My wife is a SUV person, but loves to drive the car. The downside is no apple car play, but I knew that before I bought the car. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Great Car
I have owned my 2018 Camry LE for seven months and have reached the 7,000 mile mark. I wanted to wait a few months before writing a review. This is my first Toyota product. I drove Honda Accords for the past 25 years. When it came time to trade I extensively tested the 2018 Accord. I have concerns about the turbo engine. I also found the driving position to be uncomfortable for me. I realized I probably needed to make a change and tested the Camry. I was pleasantly surprised. After seven months I have come to appreciate the Camry even more. The car handles well. I like the change in suspension for 2018. I did not test previous editions, but read reviews. The Camry equals the Honda in handling. I was a little anxious about the transmission after reading multiple reviews, however I have found the transmission to be smooth and accommodating when I need to accelerate. The Camry is comfortable. I greatly appreciate the driver's seat. I have taken the car on a couple of long trips and have had no discomfort. The audio speakers are good, however the entune system leaves a lot to be desired. It is cumbersome to use and is not reliable. It crashes often. I seldom use it anymore. I have successfully used the Scout Navigation, however it too is a lot of trouble to set up. I have to connect my phone to the car. The bluetooth works well and I am able to use my ipod with the system without any trouble. Overall, I recommend the Camry. The only drawback is the infotainment, otherwise it is a great car at a great price. This is an update at 20,000 miles. The jump in miles is related to several very long rode trips over the summer. The car was extremely comfortable, quiet, and smooth during the long drives. I experienced no back pain even though I was in the car for long periods of time. This has not always been the case with other models I have owned. My highway millage was consistently at 45 mph on the highway. I used the navigation often in cities I was visiting with no problems. I purchased a higher grade cell phone at mid summer and have eliminated the crashes of the entune system. I have not had one crash since integrating a better phone. I have improved my overall rating of the car.

Don't buy or lease this car
I wish I could have something nice to say about this care but it is a lemon. Only good thing is I leased and didn't buy. The stereo system is garbage. Have to do all sorts of gyrations to get it to work most the time. From a stop to acceleration the care is jumpy. On the freeway if you are going say 45 and then need to get into a new lane quickly there is a noticeable pause before the car accelerates...this is dangerous. Toyota failed on this one.

Love the New Design
I went to 6 Toyota Dealerships and finally found a Dealership who had the 2018 Camry LE that I wanted. I priced the 2018 Honda Accords and the features were not as sporty as the newly designed 2018 Camry. The Camry has, like a Honda Accord, a great reliability track record and are similar in many ways. I'm a creature of habit, owning 5 Camry's in the past, and decided to buy another Camry. I know I'll be in that car for many years to come and excited about the many safety features the new Camry has included in the price. My car insurance rates were a little lower because of the safety features. If the car drifts into another lane, the car monitor will beep and the the car gets back into its lane automatically. If I get too close to the car in front of me, the monitor will flash BRAKE and the car will automatically stop to avoid a collision. The ride is smoother than my trade in 2016 Camry LE. You can't go wrong buying a Camry....one of the most reliable cars on the road.
