    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.

    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! 👍👍

    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

    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.

    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!!
