An upgrade from my 2019 Camry

2020 Toyota Camry XSE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

1,540 miles and 2 weeks in, I am happy with my Camry. If you can afford it, get an XLE or XSE with the V6. You won’t regret it. I previously owned a 2019 Camry XSE with the 4 cylinder. I owned the car for about 8 months. Over the course of those 8 months, I was in the shop 8 times for non-routine maintenance issues. First, the Apple Car Play - 3 times. Then, my WiFi I kept paying for would not work - 2 times. After that, my windows would skip when rolling them up and down in the rain - 1 time. And lastly, after supposedly fixing the window issue, both the driver and passenger window fell out of the track on different days - 2 more times. I drove a total of 23,549 miles when they finally told me on my last visit that they recommend trading it in as a lemon, and so I did. I wanted exactly what I had. White with red leather, but none were available. I drove a Rav4, an Avalon and then my sales woman handed me keys to a grey with black leather 2020 XSE V6. I stepped in, not a fan of the black leather (I bought the Camry for the red leather.) But as soon as I drove it, something was different. It felt like it was a completely different car. Smoother, quieter, more taught feeling; like it was put together with nuts and bolts, not glue. It did not rattle, the wifi worked immediately, the windows rolled down as they should. It was a huge sigh of relief, so I said yes. This car is amazing. The power (I shocked a 5.0 Mustang on the interstate because he couldn’t shake me), the sound that silky smooth V6 makes (I did put a custom exhaust on it), it is SO much quieter on the highway and takes bumps so well and so much better than my 2019. My main gripes, however, remain the same - way too sensitive front and rear automatic emergency braking, the speakers rattle and I don’t get the gas mileage that I should be getting. But every single time I get in and drive, I get a smile or get relaxed. I still cannot believe how different the cars are. The cooled seats work well, as does the AC. Heated seats get toasty, quickly. It does lack a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats, but I rarely have people in my back seat. The trunk is adequate, it definitely could be bigger but I prefer more passenger space over trunk space. The headlights are amazing but the automatic high beams can and will flash people. Adaptive Cruise Control is quick to respond and does tend to overreact when someone pulls in front of you. The 360 camera could be better in terms of resolution, but it does give you much more visibility than no cameras at all and pairing them with the very sensitive parking sensors makes for a good team. The transmission is a bit sketchy some times, as it is not that smooth. I thought the recall would fix the issue but it did not. It is easy to confuse it. Though it is quick to shift and quick to respond; putting it in Sport mode improves the transmission. 1,540 miles and 2 weeks in, I am happy with my Camry. If you can afford it, get an XLE or XSE with the V6. You won’t regret it.

OMG, I wish I had listened to the other reviews I'd seen complaining of battery/electrical issues. I did ask about that when I was shopping, but was told they'd had 3 service bulletins over the summer (bought mine in Oct. 2020) and the problem seemed fixed and they'd make sure mine had the updates. Now my car is dead for the 4th time (first time was in January). It's been in for service two times so far. First time, they said there'd been an additional electrical-related software fix (since Oct.!), and that should cover it. Then about a month later the battery was dead again, and this time they tested the battery and changed that. That was less than 3 weeks ago, and now it's dead again, and I just prepared a "final notice of opportunity to repair," which I will send tomorrow, certified, return receipt requested, a necessary step in my state's lemon law procedures. They get one more chance to make this right. It's too bad because I really do like this car when it's running. But I'm so sick of this happening that I don't think I'll opt for replacement if I do end up pursuing a lemon law complaint. I think I just want a refund and then I'll get something other than this car because Toyota obviously did not do a good job on this vehicle. I probably want to stay away from Toyota, too, from this experience. But all the manufacturers have some cars and some years that weren't good, so that's hard to know. There's so much that's good about this car that it's really unfortunate that it can't be relied upon to start.

If you want a brand new car to die and strand you twice in the first two months go buy a 2020 Toyota Camry. Sure they'll fix it but that's an awesome sign when you're brand new car dies at 2 weeks and 8 weeks. Then you go to pick it up and another electrical problem comes up but it was your misunderstanding on the pickup time, not that there shouldn't be a problem. They admitted it was a lemon but it's still your problem. They will tell you it's a bumper to bumper warranty then when you go in to finance it's actually comprehensive. You'll also go back to correct your finance paperwork a few times due to their error. You will also wait hours for their tow even when reported as a stranded motorist and you'll have to call a few times. So pretty much the employees here will know you by first name before your first 5k service. Good luck buying this car!

My Camry XSE with the V6 handles like a dream. It goes exactly where you point it and stays there. On twisty mountain roads handling is precise and inspires confidence. On the interstate it is as if it were on rails - no drift or correction necessary to stay on course. It is fun, safe, quiet, comfortable and EZ to drive - it makes long drives shorter. The V6 is a masterpiece of engineering - ultra smooth and propels the Camry to 60 in only 5.6 seconds. You could cruise all day at 100 mph - too bad we don't have the autobahn in the USA! The exterior styling is sleek and sporty yet still has that clean Camry look - it's a 301 hp stealth rocket. The cockpit is ergonomic and stylish. Interior materials are pretty upscale. The JBL sound brings every voice and instrument out - even on old recordings via dsp and decompression. Toyota quality is everywhere - no matter how hard you try you will not hear a single rattle. Toyota should advertise a public service message because if you test drive one, you will buy one.

Loving the body on the new Camry so sporty and luxe. I just wish the inside paneling wasn’t so plastic and that the media system wasn’t that black iridescent plastic that catches every piece of dust and fingerprint.
