It's nice, but not $40k nice.

I like the car, but I'm also a bit underwhelmed for the price. I've had it for a month now. Pros: I got the XSE V6. The engine is relatively powerful, it handles pretty well. Feels very sure-footed and turns on a dime. It's comfortable, roomy, the infotainment system isn't the best on the market but it's good and the screen is easy to read. Android Auto is unfortunately not wireless, but that was an easy fix with a $50 "Carlinkit 5.0" device from Amazon. The car looks very nice compared to older Camrys. Interior materials are decent and it all seems to be built fairly well. Cons: No rattles that I've noticed but lots of road and wind noise, unacceptable for a $40k car IMO. The transmission can't make up its mind and makes weird gear choices sometimes. The stereo sounds like crap, and this even is with the JBL option. Very boomy and undefined even after tweaking the EQ settings. The speakers in my old 2004 were far more impressive and clean, even if they lacked bass. I'd think half-decent speakers in a new car would be a standard thing by now, especially with the upgraded audio option, I guess not. Conclusion: It's a good car (not great, just good), despite some annoyances and nitpicks. However, I'm not sure if they're really nitpicks when you're spending this much money. I can't help but think maybe I should have gotten a slightly used BMW or Audi for the same price instead. It would have been a much more refined overall experience. I'm actually half-thinking about selling it now to do that before it depreciates in price too much.

Excellent Value-Great Reputation for Engineering

2023 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

Known for reliability and excellent resale, we selected a 2023 Camry LE AWD, with certainly enough modern conveniences, to keep us well satisfied, keeping it comfortably affordable. The driving pleasure and roadability is a strong attribute. The interior comfort is superior. Fuel consumption has exceeded the sticker ratings in our use. Looking very attractive in our circle drive. A rather sporty looking car. 3rd Toyota product in last 7 years or so.

2023 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

I recently purchased a brand new Toyota Camry SE. I am a bit disappointed given the cost of the car. Let's start with the positives. It is a powerful car, but this is only really noticeable at higher speeds. It is large and there is plenty of space inside. It looks nice on the outside compared to older model Camry's, in my opinion. The seats are really comfortable. My car has leather-like upgraded seats, which provides a more premium look. Now, for the downsides. This car is slow to accelerate. I have to really press the gas pedal to go, which is very irritating. I have driven Honda Civic's that were faster to accelerate and were more responsive. Cars are constantly passing me when I am driving on the road. My foot started to actually ache a little bit from having to constantly push harder on the gas pedal than I am used to. I really hate driving this car unfortunately. It feels more powerful when you are already at a high rate of speed, but I spend a lot of time driving around town. The SE model is also too bumpy for my liking. I prefer a smooth ride, and this isn't it, but that is probably my fault (for purchasing an SE vs. an LE model). The engine is also really loud. Friends and family have mentioned this when they heard me starting my car, and I heard it too (from the outside) when I started my car and got out. It sounds like an old car from the outside when the engine is running. I was surprised to find out that my car does not have a push button start. For a car at ~$30k MSRP, you would expect that in this day and age. I have to use the regular key. I didn't think it would be an issue but after doing research and realizing that this is a standard feature on many cars, I wish this was standard for this model. It is also inconvenient. The drivers side seat adjustments are electric, but that isn't the case on the passenger side. Sound system is awful. I don't have JBL premium/upgraded sound in my car, but I still expected decent sound quality. I guess not. The sound system was also glitchy after an upgrade. My car doesn't have many safety features, including features that are standard in some lower cost cars. There were a couple of times when I started the car and it wouldn't start all the way (and my car is brand new). I had to start it again and it was fine, but it was just strange overall. Never had this issue with any prior cars. I like this car overall, but I don't love it. Some of this may be due to the lack of features/options included with my car (ie. no push button start, few safety features, no sunroof, etc.). There are too many alternative options in the market, including slightly used cars that are the same price but a lot more luxurious and more fun to drive. If this car was less expensive, I would let some of this go. But at this price point, I think I regret the purchase.
Horrible Vehicle

Please do yourself a favor & don’t buy this car. Ever since I purchased this vehicle brand new, a knocking noise in the rear has been happening (only on a full tank of gas). I have been to my local dealership several times for this issue. After the first diagnostic, they decided to replace the fuel tank. But, the noise still continued. After another diagnostic, they claimed that it is a “totally normal” noise for the 2023 model. In other words, they gave up & don’t want to fix it. I have a really hard time believing that a brand new car makes a loud knocking noise. Basically, the car is under warranty & Toyota refuses to fix this on-going issue. Moving on, the interior constantly rattles. All sorts of squeaking + rattling noises can be heard while driving. Overall, the interior feels extremely cheap. Lastly, the heated seats barely work. On the highest setting possible, they get warm at most. I honestly can’t even feel the heated seats on the middle/low setting. In conclusion, this is a very disappointing vehicle & an absolute nightmare since day 1 of ownership. I learned my lesson, I will never purchase a Toyota product again. I understand that it is just a Camry, but at the end of the day, this is nearly a $40,000 car brand new. They definitely don’t build them like they used to. STAY AWAY.

Bad road noise

2023 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid. Bad road noise. Also horrible wind noise. 5 trips to dealership to repair. All window and door seals replaced two times and still noise is excessively high. Got a decibel reader. In the mid 80’s driving above 50mph. Tried 2 different dealerships. Can’t fix. Was told it’s just the design of the car. Worse car I’ve ever owned.

must test drive at 50mph to confirm cabin noise

Infotainment for 2023 lacks competitors. Fuel mileage in small city average 22 mpg. Seats appear to be good quality. A shame to spend so much money and not have remote start without being forced to use Toyota app. Cabin noise at 50 is atrocious (did not notice with test drive). Toyota website under account not very accurate (my toyota vehicle specs show i have carbon cloth interior when it is either leather or softex). for having more horsepower than accord the camry doesn't pick up as well. Key fob range is quite weak. Vehicle does drive smooth it is just noisy!

Worst Car I ever owned

I have bought about 15 brand new vehicles and this one is by far the worst. The car is comfortable and fuel efficient but that’s about it. Every new vehicle is like that. The interior is awful the plastics are cheap so they rattle and buzz according to the outside temperature. That said I ve taken it to the dealership trying to replicate the problem but they can’t. The infotainment is horrible. The transmission has its own mind. I would expect since this is the last model year of this generation they would have fixed all the issues. Engine reliability is important but what about everything else? They are much better choices out there

I purchased a 2023 XSE 2 tone Camry 4cyl in August 2022. Shortly after owning the vehicle, the care stalled out and acted as if it didn’t want to accelerate. This has happened 3 times total of me owning this vehicle. I took it in and they said that’s how they are made. Umm no!!!! That’s dangerous. The transmission is sketchy on how it shifts. Especially on turns. It down shifts, and you have to floor it to go. We had a 2011 LE Camry- no issues, We have a 2015 Camry XSE that’s ok. It had a few issues that were fixable, but again not the quality of our last Camry and it doesn’t drive any where near as bad as this new one does . I took it into service and of course nothing. There is a random knocking noise that comes from the front or back end of the car along with my JBL speaker system rattling. They argued me up and down that all of that was normal. I videos all issues, called Toyota Corp. They attempted to fix the noises and rattling speakers. I’m Almost a year into ownership and It’s a no brainer at this point not to buy another Camry and trade this thing off as soon as I can. I’m not losing anything in my book but a lemon! For 40K, the engineering is horrible! Save yourself the woes and time, and go buy another vehicle. Hondas are just as reliable.

2023 Toyota camry LE is a headache. I have 100% regretted my decision to buy one. It is very low quality build. Terrible whistling noise at highway speeds 50-70mph. Cheap materials, sound system has zero quality. You have been warned.

I just purchased this 23 Camry se from Toyota of Romeoville, when I drive it makes a humming noise in the back, the car navigation cost extra to install , and something keeps rattling near the passenger seat belt. The interior is cheap as hell. It will start turning white as you start using it , the leather in the seats is very cheap , and omg is this car just trash. It’s only good on gas and very slow on first gear. 2.5l 4 cy usually saves gas but the transmission usually goes out because your trying to accelerate. I’m going to trade this car in and get a Honda accord. I’m done with Toyota , the older models were a lot better . These new models look good , but are trash ! I promise you will regret it. As you drive , it’s loud as hell , no noise cancellation either . Dealer will tell you it’s normal , this [non-permissible content removed] isn’t normal !
