I am a mechanic and friends of mine that graduated with me still drive Hondas and Toyotas. Most of us work for Nissan, BMW, or Mercedes. We drive them not because we can't afford more expensive cars it's because we spend most of our time fixing cars and don't want to waste time fixing our own daily drivers.
I dont know about that. I wouldnt want u to work on my german machines. All my toys r tuned and i dont spend anytine fixing them.....i drive a yaris as my daily only because i dont want to raise kms on my beauties..stop spreading false rumours..maintain ur babies and u good...

Been driving camry's since for ever. Never been disappointed, its meant to just blend into your life. You will always forget about gimmics and features, but you won't forget the maintenance bill and easy of use.
Raiti has to be my favorite go-to person I trust for cars. Love when he zonks fake vents/exhaust and I always laugh when he brings up storage possibilities aka Twinkies lol
The long term reliability of a non turbo is too often overlooked in vehicle reviews. The Camry is a car, that if well cared for, can last a very very long time. That's the reason for the great resale and great lease offers. There is still a lot of life left in a Camry with 100,000 miles. A lot. That's why it's on my short list for my next and maybe last vehicle. I'm going to drive it 'til either the car or I turns to dust. Great work Joe. I follow a few of these review channels, but not one is as prolific as yours. You really do work hard at this and I for one appreciate all of your efforts. Cheers! 👍👍
I saw the 2021 Mazda hatch and CX 30, they took the cheap route on some things. Headliner especially. I was very disappointed 😢 this was on the premium package. THE HIGHEST TRIM 🤦🏼♂️
I actually prefer the prop rod. Worked on cars for nearly a decade and saw countless cars have hood struts fail and leak. To me, I like the old fashioned prop rod since it’s one less thing to break. Definitely not a deal breaker for me personally
I've just traded in my 2019 Toyota Sienna for this exact car and I've had it a week when my Husband decided to trade in his 2021 Corrola he bought in March for the 2021 Camry TRD we love the smooth ride of my daily driver and his sporty ride.
Always enjoy your reviews! Last week, I just picked up a 2021 XSE V6 in the exact exterior/interior you tested. Great to know it comes with heated and ventilated front seats. I love it!
The Hybrid XSE actually handled better than the standard XSE, likely from the added weight and distribution. I was pretty surprised by the difference to be perfectly honest. Ended up with the hybrid because a) it was meant to be a commuter car for me and b) the hybrid XSE definitely handled batter than the standard XSE. Kinda reminded me of my Camaro with how planted and level it stays in corners lol
This is definitely a good pick, especially since this particular Camry breaks the stereotype that Toyotas are boring to drive. Not only is it reliable, but it's fun to drive, and I'd always pick an SE/XSE Toyota before an LE/XLE.
Excellent review I bought a 2021 XSE and I couldn’t be happier, great fuel economy and decent power for a 4 cylinder, and I’m coming from a 2010 Taurus SHO.
Loved my 2007 SE and love the way this one looks as well. Toyota never disappoints. One of the best looking sedans on the road today. Great detailed review as usual.
I hate the console design so much. The infotainment screen buttons look so cheap while the irregular shape console is so bad taste. Toyota want Camry to be conservative no more but I think they overdid it and make things even worse.
Been driving a Tacoma since 2005. 200k miles on the truck and I decided to shop for a Camry. I sat in it one time and knew this was a great car. Test drove it and bought it. For me I like everything about and I enjoy the panoramic window.
@@RaitisRides You’re welcome. Me too and I might not be knowledgeable of them like you are but you are the most trusted source I go to when I got a question or need help understanding something.

@@RaitisRides I know this is off topic joe what do you get rear USB on all the trim cuz when I look at a lot of videos on RUclips of a lot of them don't have USB is it an option
I bought an accord two weeks ago. I drove and looked at the Camry, and it's a nice car, but I feel the quality of the accord and simple design just gives the accord a premium feel
Love your reviews. I've owned two Corollas and currently own a 2013 Camry that I bought in 2014. I love the reliability but one thing that drives me nuts is, I find the telescopic steering wheel doesn't telescope nearly as far as I need. My arms are stretching almost all the way even at the closest point.
Still driving my 1998 Camry V6 LE (Back in the old days, when Toyota offered the V6 in the LE). Japan used to have their design studios in Southern California. Bizarro World since they went in house.
HEY Raities When you do your reviews turn the car lights on so we can see how they light up and can get a visual to what your talking about the something different from a mile away.
@@titomena7400 if the Honda was unreliable then you would be right, however, Hondas are very reliable cars and the difference in reliability vs a Toyota is negligible

The Accord is not better than the Camry in any way.. I got rid of a 2019 EXL 2.0 ,the body has gaps all in it and the front of the car looks like a sardine can.. and the back looks like a Chevy Impala.. I hated that car one week after I got it. 🤮🤮🤮
Either make the air vents functional or don't make them at all! Fake vents and fake exhaust tips are so cheap! Please learn from Mazda and don't make those mistakes anymore Toyota Honda VW Audi Kia......
Had a Camry SE 4 cylinder last weekend for a one way rental, and it was very comfortable to drive and the chassis is the best I've been in for the Camry...but I'm not giving up my manual Elantra Sport that I just got. Still a Toyota guy at heart!
@@kromahj Its great to have choices, throw in the Sonata N Line and K5 GT too, or even the Mazda 6 turbo. But definitely, this could be the last Camry with a V6.
The quad tipped exhaust aren’t fully functional. I just bought one and looking to upgrade it to a TRD exhaust. But the outer tips are just welded on. No openings that goes into the muffler. The exhaust comes out through the inner tip. The same goes for the other muffler. The inner tip again. It was very disappointing for me but again, looking forward to getting it changed out.

I agree, not a fan of the center console design of the Camry, but I'm biased toward Honda anyway, and hard to beat Toyota reliability. To me, Honda just seems like it's a bit more engaging and fun to drive than the the Toyota. Great review, and camera work from Lori as always
Sharp looking but I’d have to go V6. Camry or Accord, can’t go wrong with either one. Fun fact: The Celica St was first to the U.S. in 1971. Thanks for sharing it Joe! Nice review! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Great review! But I like the infotainment screen on my 2019 Camry XSE better. I don't like the new floating screen. It always reminds me of something that would be in a truck or SUV. I opted for the Blizzard Pearl/ Metallic blk with red interior and am loving it!
Why do you have the Accord at 4? The general consensus, from what Ive read (still educating myself :) is that Camry and Accord are usually the top 2, And why the Sonata at 2 ?
@@KevinQ1989 Thanks for your info... Im currently looking and Im kinda down to those top 3. Leaning towards the Accord. I hear they are discontinuing the Mazda 6 after this year?
Can you imagine Joe doing this in the 60's?? - "Look at these Chrome bumpers!!!...So much Chrome!.... Look at these Tail fins.... You'd think it's a fish!!..."
I just love my 2020 Toyota Black XSE with the panoramic roof. I even had a Lexus ES350 owner come up to me rave about my car. It really stands out in class and sports look.
I have the same - black with black rims, at first I thought the roof was something I would not use much but now in the Florida cooler months the thing is simpy awesome. Had the car tinted 20% all around and with panoramic going on the interior is now an experience when driving.
Naturally aspirated engine, non bs cvt transmission, reliable pano sunroof and heated seats without premium price. Id take this over an unproven turbo and cvt honda accord anyday for just the reliability alone. 204 hp is plenty especially stacked with a 8spd transmission they have mastered on Lexus for years. . Back in the day v6 were under 200hp and the Only proven 204p+ 4cyl Naturally aspirated engine was the k24( acura tsx wagon ) . Sadly it was premium gas and honda steered away from it going to turbos. Go Back to the basics. But yes best drive experience would agree ,mazda wins. But I am suprised how planted the new camrys feel on the payment. And the steering is revised with a sport tight feel without sport mode. Keep the tech and give me reliability mechanics all day. Awesome review bro!!
I need this review with the 4cyl option. My younger brother is graduating from college and my folks and I are deciding between this car and the Corolla as a graduating gift. ....That C7 at 16:50 though👀
Warning for everyone don't get the trash ass sunroof apparently it's been an issue since 2018 models but this shit sunroof will get stuck and break guaranteed it seems. The fix if not in warranty cost $8k

2019 Camry XSE V6 owner here, I like the wheels but being all black (easy to scratch) instead what it used to look like takes away from the overall looks of the car. The infotainment screen sticks out a little but no biggy compared to the classic one but they want to keep up with the times. It would have been nice for Toyota to put a V6 badge on the back or something to distinguish the two engines.
Yup, can get an Altima 2.5 AWD for less. May not have LED tail lights, or a panoramic roof and a few other options this example has, but is still a great AWD sedan. Altima is also waaaay comfier to drive. Love the reviews, watch them all the time, feel like you slack on the Nissan love though.
Likewise, 2019 black XSE V6 w/ red interior. Has been problem free and an absolute joy to drive. Wouldn't trade the smooth V6 refinement for anything. A real head-turner as well
@@GospoMan25 agreed. Glad I chose this over the accord. It’ll last longer and the v6 smoothness and refinement just can’t be touched, no Matter how quicker the accord may be
@@naveenthemachine Absolutely. Not a fan of the turbo 4 in the accord and competitors. I read an acceleration comparison chart and the camry v6/accord 2.0 were neck and neck, 0-30 & up to 100mph, I'm assuming at sea level. I'm 70 feet above sea level and it flies, lol. 🤷🏽♂️ www.google.com/amp/s/www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/accord/2018/2018-toyota-camry-xse-v6-vs-2018-honda-accord-touring-20t-comparison-review/amp/ Toyota's port/direct injection on their engines is a plus for reliability compared to the accord & should have minimal carbon build up over time. I see you naveenthemachine! Cam owners gotta stick together! 🤣
I personally like having a prop rod to hold the hood up especially since I’ve had a hood come down on my head when the hood shocks suddenly gave out on car I was working on.
I had rhe accord as a lease before i got the camry. And i gotta say accord is WAAY better. I even got way more compliments in the accord even thought it was just black on black. My camry rn is the top trim, xse, moon roof, red seats, white exterior. I would take a base trim accord over the top trim camry in a heart beat.

They won't, and never will. Thats how Honda gets you to buy Acura's instead
I just bought a silver XSE AWD w/panoramic moonroof & cold weather package. The blackout tires are a great touch to this really good looking car.
Nice car, it looks pretty good but I fell in love with the K5 you showed us a few days ago.
I know how you feel Omar!
K5 is sportier...ijs🤷
just got one. i love it. white & black with the red seats. way better then my old impala.
Congrats!
2.5L 4 cylinder it’s a good engine i was hoping for a 3.5 V6
Stay tuned!
@@RaitisRides yesssss!!!!
Get Avalon then
The 2.5 has plenty of power. I've had mine up to 120 and it still had a lot left.
This Toyota really tickles me. Awesome design, gorgeous black rims, great interior and boot space. Peppy engine and slick gearbox.
The XSE 2020 drew my eyes silver black roof and red interior
Great review Joe like always
You are so awesome thanks for your support!
I agree, not a fan of the center console design of the Camry, but I'm biased toward Honda anyway, and hard to beat Toyota reliability. To me, Honda just seems like it's a bit more engaging and fun to drive than the the Toyota. Great review, and camera work from Lori as always
Sharp looking but I’d have to go V6. Camry or Accord, can’t go wrong with either one. Fun fact: The Celica St was first to the U.S. in 1971. Thanks for sharing it Joe! Nice review! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You are so very right Larry! I am going V6 as well! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Great review! But I like the infotainment screen on my 2019 Camry XSE better. I don't like the new floating screen. It always reminds me of something that would be in a truck or SUV. I opted for the Blizzard Pearl/ Metallic blk with red interior and am loving it!
For this being a higher trim package the interior looks horrible
I was really close to having this sitting in my driveway,, until I looked at Mazda3
Accord touring 2.0T for the win
Accord's interior is way better
@@omaralarabi3465 foreal that's why I chose the touring 2.0T
Just got my 2022 yesterday 😁 thanks for your accurate review!
My midsize sedan ranking:
1. Camry
2. Accord
3. Mazda6
4. Sonata
5. Optima
6. Passat
7. Altima
Thanks for sharing that great input!
@@RaitisRides No, thank you for your great and unbiased reviews. Unlike other car reviewers, who show their bias for a particular car company.
Why do you have the Accord at 4? The general consensus, from what Ive read (still educating myself :) is that Camry and Accord are usually the top 2,
And why the Sonata at 2 ?
@@chuckfan1 fixed it lol
@@KevinQ1989 Thanks for your info... Im currently looking and Im kinda down to those top 3. Leaning towards the Accord.
I hear they are discontinuing the Mazda 6 after this year?
Joe, a million thanks for being consistent in keeping the exterior LEDs on now 👌🔥
Can you imagine Joe doing this in the 60's?? - "Look at these Chrome bumpers!!!...So much Chrome!.... Look at these Tail fins.... You'd think it's a fish!!..."
LOL! I would love to go back to that time period!
Maybe someone can loan Joe a 60s car to review?
I just love my 2020 Toyota Black XSE with the panoramic roof. I even had a Lexus ES350 owner come up to me rave about my car. It really stands out in class and sports look.
I have the same - black with black rims, at first I thought the roof was something I would not use much but now in the Florida cooler months the thing is simpy awesome. Had the car tinted 20% all around and with panoramic going on the interior is now an experience when driving.
12:36 "And you do have masshole..."
12:39 "There's no such thing as masshole"
*Me, a Bostonian: "I beg to differ Raiti..."
I'm from Vermont, and I agree.
Naturally aspirated engine, non bs cvt transmission, reliable pano sunroof and heated seats without premium price. Id take this over an unproven turbo and cvt honda accord anyday for just the reliability alone. 204 hp is plenty especially stacked with a 8spd transmission they have mastered on Lexus for years. . Back in the day v6 were under 200hp and the Only proven 204p+ 4cyl Naturally aspirated engine was the k24( acura tsx wagon ) . Sadly it was premium gas and honda steered away from it going to turbos. Go Back to the basics.
But yes best drive experience would agree ,mazda wins. But I am suprised how planted the new camrys feel on the payment. And the steering is revised with a sport tight feel without sport mode. Keep the tech and give me reliability mechanics all day. Awesome review bro!!
I totally agree with you Guillermo!
I need this review with the 4cyl option. My younger brother is graduating from college and my folks and I are deciding between this car and the Corolla as a graduating gift.
....That C7 at 16:50 though👀
My daughter but this same car but in pearl white and black top beautiful car I love it
Wow, finally they have the trajectory for the backup cam!
I know right!
They’ve always had it since 2018 in some Se xle and XSE trims
It’s not new for 2021
Warning for everyone don't get the trash ass sunroof apparently it's been an issue since 2018 models but this shit sunroof will get stuck and break guaranteed it seems. The fix if not in warranty cost $8k
Usually camrys are used as taxi cabs in New York which I live
That is pretty cool!
Yes because they will last longer than any brands!
NYPD has them as well.
Not the higher trim, they usually use the LE, they don't use the XSE , and cuz they reliable and cheap to maintain
Do you have a brother Mike? And a father who went to prison?
Raiti, I really like the look of the new camry's. It would be nice if Toyota offered a manual in the XSE V6. It would be very fun to drive!
This particular Camry looks sporty
That is what the XSE brings to the table.
Someday, I buy a 2021 Toyota Camry XSE.

2019 Camry XSE V6 owner here, I like the wheels but being all black (easy to scratch) instead what it used to look like takes away from the overall looks of the car. The infotainment screen sticks out a little but no biggy compared to the classic one but they want to keep up with the times.
It would have been nice for Toyota to put a V6 badge on the back or something to distinguish the two engines.
34k for a 4 cylinder? Toyota put all of its energy on a sports appearance and not the engine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m done. Lol.
I understand your frustration.
You can get a 6cyl if you want
I bought my 2019 xse for 27k, been having it for 2 years . I4 is not that bad
It probably went into R&D for all the bull "saftey" requirements.
Yup, can get an Altima 2.5 AWD for less. May not have LED tail lights, or a panoramic roof and a few other options this example has, but is still a great AWD sedan. Altima is also waaaay comfier to drive. Love the reviews, watch them all the time, feel like you slack on the Nissan love though.
Hey! You should review the XSE hybrid 2021!! The pick up and acceleration is amazing and the fuel economy is unbelievable.
I love my 2020 XSE v6 w red interior
I can totally understand why!
Likewise, 2019 black XSE V6 w/ red interior. Has been problem free and an absolute joy to drive. Wouldn't trade the smooth V6 refinement for anything. A real head-turner as well
@@GospoMan25 agreed. Glad I chose this over the accord. It’ll last longer and the v6 smoothness and refinement just can’t be touched, no Matter how quicker the accord may be
@@naveenthemachine Absolutely. Not a fan of the turbo 4 in the accord and competitors. I read an acceleration comparison chart and the camry v6/accord 2.0 were neck and neck, 0-30 & up to 100mph, I'm assuming at sea level. I'm 70 feet above sea level and it flies, lol. 🤷🏽♂️

Toyota's port/direct injection on their engines is a plus for reliability compared to the accord & should have minimal carbon build up over time. I see you naveenthemachine! Cam owners gotta stick together! 🤣
@@GospoMan25 motortrend said the Camry is lacking vs the honda
But who cares about those guys? The Camry will outlive the accord
I personally like having a prop rod to hold the hood up especially since I’ve had a hood come down on my head when the hood shocks suddenly gave out on car I was working on.
Hate dampers! Prop rod >
My mother would
Love this car and I’m saving up for it. Hopefully by next year I would be able to put a down payment on this bad boy.
Very cool!
You had me at the vent area, its the one thing that almost stopped me from getting one
My personal favorite of ALL sedans is the toyota camry XSE
I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
Saving money for XSE Camry . I love driving Camry as a rental now I want to own one
This 8th soo sick
You're not lying about the previous generation looking a little bland 🤣🤣 love the aggressive styling of this one!
I had rhe accord as a lease before i got the camry. And i gotta say accord is WAAY better. I even got way more compliments in the accord even thought it was just black on black. My camry rn is the top trim, xse, moon roof, red seats, white exterior. I would take a base trim accord over the top trim camry in a heart beat.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
