Yeah even things lie the type of oil it takes. Oil changes are gonna be real expensive, and it’s every 3-5k miles so it does add up. I really like the new design but I might go previous gen and save some money since I’m getting a Camry within a few months.
@michaelvang3034 with emissions getting as strict as they are in the states, toyota couldn't really make a profitable car like the camry ICE only, im all for hybrid, better reliability, more torque and better economy. blame emissions, not toyota
I want to say that you are a treasure to the community. I ended up buying a 2025 XSE. I flirted with the idea of an older, more proven generation based on another video of yours, but I really liked the design of the 2025. At no point in time did I consider something other than a Toyota SOLELY because of the expertise you provide for us. Thank you!
This Camry is hybrid only though. So I don’t think you can go 24 years with this one without changing the hybrid battery. Wonder how much that would cost.
I bought one three weeks ago and love it. I have now own three Camry's and love the line. This one is fully loaded. has everything I ever wanted in a Camry. I bought a 2025 Camry XSE.
As owner of 2024 Camry XLE ICE 4 cylinder engine, I am glad Ahmed got to review this new generation, and as usual AMD will deliver it in most honest way possible that no other RUclipsr does.
I just bought the 2025 XSE. And like you mentioned, they don't change a lot mechanically. They have a wonderful reputation, and that is why I got one. I need a car to last. Wonderful overview!
We just picked up our 2025 Camry, a few days ago. The dealership knocked off $2000 worth of options ( parking sensors, front and rear, and all-weather mats.
I had a 2017 Camry SE 165,000, just bought a 2025 Camry SE yesterday I was going back and forth between the RAV4 and the Camry loved the styling and the Mileage. I loved my last one so hopefully this one continues to keep me happy and trouble free.
The XSE trim does not have that microfiber cover - one of the reasons why we bought that trim level. The other is the Ocean Gem color. Make no mistake, this color is amazing, especially under direct sun.
Yep, it’s to squeeze the last drop of mpg by using the thinnest oil possible. The owners manual says u can use other weight oils. Same engine that’s sold in other countries.
The GS and IS have always been smaller than the 8th Gen Camry. The IS is closer in size to the Corolla. And the GS is almost the size of the Camry. The LS is, of course, the size of the Avalon or so, being the Lexus flagship sedan.
After much research, and watching a lot of your videos, I bought a well looked after 2015 non-hybrid Camry Sx earlier this year and I do not regret it one bit. I'm a normal guy with a normal job and this was the first car I've owned that cost more than $3,000. I bought it at 96,000km and hope to get it to 250,000km like the 2002 Camry I had before it. Yours is the best auto channel imo
We had been wanting to buy one of these but I couldn’t find any review from you Ahmed. I held my breath and bought one this week. What a relief to see this today!! Perfect timing!! Thanks
Somebody was smoking crack that put microfiber right next to the cupholder like that. What were they thinking?!? My plastic interior constantly gets coke and coffee wiped off the plastic on the dash. I can't even imagine what that microfiber dash bit will look like in a year.
Saw one today and was quite impressed. They were chomping at the bit trying to get me to test drive and trade, but I don't need a new car OR payments. Love my Corolla SE with 6 speed manual!
I just put a deposit on ours. Excited about it and hope to have it for the next 10 years if not longer. Thank you for all your videos. They're very helpful and easily the best and honest auto reviews, you are helping so many people out. God Bless!
it may not be the case for any new car to think this as you used to be able to on the older ones. there's parts engineered beyond reliability like the plastic valve cover. in 15 years the valve cover will be prone to cracking if you push on it too hard. I'm sure heat from oil and pressure in the head will work that out itself too.
My same thoughts, wait 15 years then buy a 9th Gen Camry. It will probably have a Dead Battery and faulty Electric Motors. But almost everything else will work providing you can find a replacement battery.
@richscott2483 many people are buying 15+ year old Prius with dead traction battery replace it and sell for a small profit. It is only a 4 hour job to replace and can be done without any specialty tools
Mobil 1 0W-8 is readily available through Walmart and it's about $27.47 for five quarts. I just changed the oil and filter last month on my 2024 Corolla (at 2937 miles) and the oil came within two days of me ordering it on the Walmart website. I'm fine with a hood prop rod. It doesn't break and require new struts every few years. Sometimes simple is better. I do agree, I see Toyota's cheapening of some of the small details that made them strides above the rest. I agree, that interior microfiber looks tacky.
$27.98 0W8 at Walmart for 5 quarts of Mobile 1. I just did a quick check and it looks legit. However, this was not a kind move by Toyota as customers should not have to sweat an oil change. Great review, as always. Thank you.
I do appreciate the non biased and honest reviews given by the ccn. Tells it like it is based on a history of repairing, maintaining and owning Toyotas. I’d like to say thanks.
I like the 2018, 19 and 20 with the headunit integrated into the dashboard without sticking up in my face, the proper 8 speed automatic transmission, the front end styling of the LE.
Been eagerly waiting for this review. Planning on upgrading from my 01 XLE next year to probably a 25 XSE so I’m glad you uploaded this to help justify my decision!
@ryeguy916I recently rented a 2023 Toyota Prius LE. It was relatively quiet, smooth-riding, and good handling. The only reason why we bought the 2025 Camry instead is because of its taller windows. My wife doesn't like short windows like those in my GR Supra.
@davepaturno4290I just got a 2025 Civic Hybrid. Inventory at the local Toyota dealers for Prius was low so there were no incentives. And the Camry is a bit bigger of a car than I wanted. Some reviews also said the Camry was a bit noisy with interior rattling and such. I love the Civic but I forgot how much a car payment impacts financial freedom.
Let alone the gas saving, the hybrid Camry drives better than the regular Camry. Believe me. 333K miles on the clock as of today on my Camry Hybrid LE with no issues at all.
It's a nice car but the better gas mileage doesn't make a huge difference to trade in any 8th generation for the latest one. Just to go in debt. Nice try. I see why people stay in debt. If you are not buying car to get in debt not talking about you all
I am proud to hear you say little (almost nothing) has changed in the drivetrain. When you get something right and then throw it away just to make something "all new", customers get to test your new crap that may or may not hold up.
I still regret trading my 2005 for 2008 model. This is where Toyota crossed the line from real cars to junk. The Camry might still be better compared to other brands models but compared to its own legacy it's de-evolution. And if I'm paying 30K+ for a Camry I'd definitely skip it and go for a Lexus that offer pure V6 atmospheric engine, no turbo, no hybrid, no BS.
You’re absolutely right! I am not a rich man but had to get another car this month. Even Kia’s have gotten outrageous and they’re essentially the same cars from 5 years ago when they were much cheaper. They have to start getting realistic. Honda have completely abandoned the working man for cars and even Toyota’s Corolla hatchback is expensive and that used to be a working man’s go-to.
I love your show. You appear to be a good decent man and honesty goes a long way with your viewers and subscribers. Keep up the good work and hopefully many more videos to come.
Currently have a 2020 XSE. 54K miles. Originally belonged to my dad before he got another car. Going to keep it for a couple more years. I’m keeping an eye on the 9th gen Camry as a replacement when the time comes. I’m a fan of the new Camry!
Not ready to buy quite yet, my 2010 Camry V6 just got new paint, that 2GR is running like new. But when I do go on the "hunt" 2024 will be the cutoff year.
@MetrosexualFilthidk if you realized how expensive gas has become since 2022, and because of certain circumstances people can’t go full electric. 4cyl hybrids become popular because it’s for commuters who want good fuel economy. If you meant CVT by “CTV”, an eCVT is completely different from a traditional CVT. People just assume they’re the same because of the shitty naming scheme
Own a 2009 Camry Hybrid with 210K miles. I look forward to buying a used 2025 in 2045 with over $220K. An absolute home run for Toyota. Thanks for your honest review.....others try but I trust your deep dive on this one. May God bless you and the workers at your shop. You are doing a mighty work helping all of us keep our machines running down the road!
You will probably be living in the Matrix in 2045. Do you have any idea just how much the world is going to change in the next 20 years?? The Law of Accelerating Returns. Check it out.
I dont think a 2025 Camry is not gonna even make it to 150k with the oil consumption issues from 2018 to 2025 but far worse with the new Honda accord with head gasket engine failure 2018 to 2025
My microfiber couch is 20 years old, still looks good and easy to clean, red wine and coffee have both cleaned up well, is there another fabric you think would last longer and wear better? I trust that Toyota has got this figured out.
A 2025 Camry LE Hybrid wouldn't last 5 years. The Bottom of the Barrel or lowest Trim level always breaks down after the Basic Warranty Expires. A fully loaded 2025 Camry XSE Hybrid FWD has an MSRP of nearly $42,000 and AWD would be $43,500. I despise Hybrids and EVs and don't care about MPG. For myself, "ICE", is the only way to go! I own a 2023 Camry XSE V6 fully loaded MSRP of $41,305 and paid OTD $39,800 incl. Sales Tax, Registration, Plates, and all fees.
I’m still driving my 2010 gas Camry which I bought brand new. This car has never missed an oil change, and it gets its rust proofing yearly. This car has never given me any trouble and it will quite possibly be the last car I own…yes I’ve installed a rear camera and remote car starter…I drive with my eyes open so who needs the lane sensors? The only thing to give out on this car was the gas struts for the hood..it opens fine, but won’t stay up.. so I use a stick to keep it propped open and the auxiliary channel is no longer working on the stereo I LOVE my car… and the BEST thing about it is…IT’S PAID FOR!!!😊💕💕
those struts are 40 dollars on amazon and can be changed with a flathead screwdriver, just dont slip and scratch the paint near the clips, i did that and spent more time with the touch up paint than the strut replacement itself .
You are right, we really don’t need lane sensors, however, those emergency braking systems are a god send. No matter how good a driver you are, there are poor drivers out there who will change lanes into yours and then suddenly brake. 🤷🏻♂️
These 10+ year old Camry's are still fun to drive! Our purchased new '11 with 134,000 miles on it is garaged, regular 5,000 mile oil changes, a radiator, belts and hoses, tires, and a $20 driver visor replaced. It has been on several coast to coast road trips and performs flawlessly at highway speeds. With little pressure on the gas pedal it accelerates from 65MPH to 80MPH to get around semi's hogging the middle lane on the interstates. Our aftermarket Kenwood entertainment screen provides apple CarPlay without a removable tablet looking screen on the newer Camry's. Sounds like if this '11 ever fails we will have a great option with the new Camry's! I also love my struts on the hood, and have asked the Toyota dealers that I have visited for oil changes, if they would put the struts on for free to sell me a new Camry - their response = YES!
I hope one day, sedans make a big comeback. They are underrated and compared to other classes of vehicle, much more affordable to have. I am happy Toyota and Honda have continued to make them. I am a Civic driver myself, but at the time, the Camry SE woulda still been one of my top choices.
We have a RAV4 now but I really miss our 2018 Camry. Just something about a 4 door sedan and with the Camry you got a lot for your money. Great car for road trips and just really nice cabin to be in for long drives.
@mikeboatright5349 I've got both now and I agree with you. Although with kids I do find it easier to put them in the RAV4 simply because of the height. I am 6'2 with a bad back.
I saw a RUclips where a newer Civic (not SI or anything) outran a cop car going 100 or something on an off ramp. Of course the driver was very good, but holy crap.
Toyota Avalon remains my absolute favorite Toyota vehicle ever made. Such an amazing car, especially when well-maintained. I have a friend with an 09 with over 450k miles and still runs like a dream
I hope one day, regular cars will make a comeback. Every new car review I watch makes me hate them more and more. I want a N/A, non-hybrid engine with a manual transmission. Why can't they at least give people like me that option? There are far more people like me than they realize.
I was waiting for this video for a while. Thank you! I bought an XLE specifically for the Dinamica because I LOVE the way it looks, but to each his own, and I highly respect your opinion :)
Yeah, I ended up getting one without that package even though there was one a city over. I got everything else, though. Mild regrets. Think it was around 37.5K without that
I bought a 2018 Camry Le and now have 60,000 miles on it. Never had a problem with it I just do all scheduled maintenance and keep it clean inside and out. It still looks and runs great and I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off.
Regarding the prices. Guess what? In Romania (which is a country in the eastern Europe 😁), there are 3 trim levels. The basic one is 41k euro. The top one is 49k euro. Insane!
@sammyjammy6647 So, I never owned a V6 Camry, so I can't fairly compare the two... but I did own a 2018 4 Cylinder Camry, and thought it was good, but this one is WAY better. The instant torque is awesome (especially in Sport Mode), makes merging on the highway, accelerating from stops, and passing vehicles really easy. I'm currently getting 47 MPG on my drive to work and home, able to go about 2 weeks in between fill ups, and those are usually around $20 where I'm located. I also love the interior of the updated model. I think it looks really good. So I enjoy it a lot more than my old Camry, and the 2 Corolla's I've owned. I'm sure the V6 Camry was awesome to drive, I don't doubt that, but I wouldn't be to worried about this one not being able to compete performance wise. The V6 did have the hp advantage, but this Hybrid model is not slow by any means.
A doughnut is still better then a can of fix a flat and a prayer. As long as Toyota is still giving you a spare I will continue to applaud them for it.
I've had my 2025 Camry XSE AWD in black for about a month. It's been an amazing car. Drives smooth. Sport mode gives it a jolt - plenty of power. Adaptive cruise is awesome. Interior looks impressive and materials feel high quality. EV mode in parking lots and quiet residential areas is great - using it way more than I thought. Looks low-key money in black with black badges IMO. I thought the gas mileage would be a bit better. If you drive like an angel it's great. But drive somewhat aggressive, it gets less impressive. Overall I'm so happy I bought one. I enjoy driving and looking at it. On top of that, my dealer got me the "dealer demo" so I was one of the first in Canada to take delivery of a 2025 Camry XSE AWD. Couldn't ask for more.
I wish it felt safe to still drive a sedan. With everyone driving trucks and SUV’s, you can’t even see ahead of you on the road and physics dictate that the sedan driver loses more than not in a collision. If only we had smaller roads like in Ireland…
I'm so glad you don't sugar coat stuff like other reviewers.
Car Care Nut is one of the only people on RUclips I trust to give an honest and extremely in-depth review.
Yeah even things lie the type of oil it takes. Oil changes are gonna be real expensive, and it’s every 3-5k miles so it does add up. I really like the new design but I might go previous gen and save some money since I’m getting a Camry within a few months.
Great comment. It would be great for customers if most cars were reviewed in depth like he does.
What year is the previous gene? @creyes4182
@marcellaforest5730 Stop glazing. Most reviewers ain't mechanics and focus more on the consumer perspective. That is the difference.
Kudos to Toyota for still making cars. Not everyone wants a crossover. Or not everyone wants to own only crossovers.
Sedans you mean
I'll thank them when they bring back wagons. That signia is more Lexus like in price and it's lifted. Bring a real one and the real ones will buy em
And not everyone wants a hybrid only option car….RIP 2018-2024 Camry.
@michaelvang3034 with emissions getting as strict as they are in the states, toyota couldn't really make a profitable car like the camry ICE only, im all for hybrid, better reliability, more torque and better economy. blame emissions, not toyota
@JamaicanMeCrazy they are available in europe. corolla and auris have wagon versions. camry is sedan-only
A Hybrid with a spare tire, Finally!
I want to say that you are a treasure to the community. I ended up buying a 2025 XSE. I flirted with the idea of an older, more proven generation based on another video of yours, but I really liked the design of the 2025. At no point in time did I consider something other than a Toyota SOLELY because of the expertise you provide for us. Thank you!
Nice video 98 Camry owner here with 367,221 miles still going strong
This Camry is hybrid only though. So I don’t think you can go 24 years with this one without changing the hybrid battery. Wonder how much that would cost.
@BigD481 $3000-3500
,, Hyundai battery is $9800.00@BigD481
@BigD481
With advances in technology every few years, it should be a value proposition every 8-10 years.
@BB-nw3mj not cheap
I can't like your content enough! It's so refreshing to see TRUE mechanical knowledge being shared on RUclips. Keep up the great work CCN!
I bought one three weeks ago and love it. I have now own three Camry's and love the line. This one is fully loaded. has everything I ever wanted in a Camry. I bought a 2025 Camry XSE.
Congratulations brother!
What did you pay for it??
@alexmh1139 $39,700 it is the Camry XSE AWD HYBRID.
I have the 2024 XLE V6, took me 3months to figure out the cruise control.
btw, 42,700. I've no idea if got good deal.
@grandpa7278 42k for a Camry sounds absolutely crazy but good that you like it
CCN knows that we’ve been waiting for this.
I love the hilarious deprecating comments about the "microfiber towel" interior - priceless 😀
My 1997 camry with 800k miles is still going strong ☺️
WOW💯
How about making a video with car care nut?
Thags insane!
What????
That's crazy 😮
The ONLY Camry review I value! Immensely thorough, and not just a simple gloss over 😂
As owner of 2024 Camry XLE ICE 4 cylinder engine, I am glad Ahmed got to review this new generation, and as usual AMD will deliver it in most honest way possible that no other RUclipsr does.
How do you find the power in the 4 cylinder?
I bought 0w 8 at Walmart for $27 for 5 quarts
this needs to be up higher. I came here to say the same thing.
Good to hear
You are correct! Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy Full Synthetic Motor Oil 0W-8, 5 Quart at Walmart
Eventually these cars can run on water lmao
Bought mine at Walmart and toyota filter at the dealer(actually cheaper than Walmart).
Great video, very helpful. Toyota Corporation needs to have this gentleman on their Design team!!!!!!
This guy is a world class expert
I just bought the 2025 XSE. And like you mentioned, they don't change a lot mechanically. They have a wonderful reputation, and that is why I got one. I need a car to last. Wonderful overview!
Were you debating between 2024 or 2025 at all? I'm doubtful at the moment
Lol! I agree about the microfiber! It looks like the lining for a coffin!
Went looking for a 2025 yesterday. Dealer wants $2,400 for Market adjustment. Told him to keep it. Got a 2024 with 8K miles in a much better deal.
We just picked up our 2025 Camry, a few days ago. The dealership knocked off $2000 worth of options ( parking sensors, front and rear, and all-weather mats.
I had a 2017 Camry SE 165,000, just bought a 2025 Camry SE yesterday I was going back and forth between the RAV4 and the Camry loved the styling and the Mileage. I loved my last one so hopefully this one continues to keep me happy and trouble free.
The XSE trim does not have that microfiber cover - one of the reasons why we bought that trim level. The other is the Ocean Gem color. Make no mistake, this color is amazing, especially under direct sun.
Wow, this is the first review video I’ve seen it takes 0W-8. Thank you for your unique review that brings up these important things others don’t.
Not important because 2025 Camry hybrid owners manuals outside of the USA tell owners they can use any viscosity from 0W-8 to 10W-30.
@4af those might use different piston rings and other parts which can effect which oil to use.
Yep, it’s to squeeze the last drop of mpg by using the thinnest oil possible. The owners manual says u can use other weight oils. Same engine that’s sold in other countries.
@4af Don't
Even Car Car Nut says use the recommended weight oil 0-8, engineers know more than you.
I have a 2000 Lexus GS400 and I was parked next to a new Camry the other day and that thing was bigger than my GS400 😳. Amazing.
The GS and IS have always been smaller than the 8th Gen Camry. The IS is closer in size to the Corolla. And the GS is almost the size of the Camry. The LS is, of course, the size of the Avalon or so, being the Lexus flagship sedan.
Yea i just got one and its crazy how much space there is and the cargo space is INSANE in the trunk.
CAFE: make bigger, no fuel improvement needed
@daemonsilver3304LS is larger than avalon, avalon is similar to ES in size
in 30 years all sedans will be the size of a stretch limo
I have this 25 camry. I'm getting between 44-57 mpg. Love it
After much research, and watching a lot of your videos, I bought a well looked after 2015 non-hybrid Camry Sx earlier this year and I do not regret it one bit. I'm a normal guy with a normal job and this was the first car I've owned that cost more than $3,000. I bought it at 96,000km and hope to get it to 250,000km like the 2002 Camry I had before it. Yours is the best auto channel imo
Cheers
U can’t go wrong with this car
We had been wanting to buy one of these but I couldn’t find any review from you Ahmed. I held my breath and bought one this week. What a relief to see this today!! Perfect timing!! Thanks
I appreciate your calm reviews with education
I bet you wont read this but I have viewed your content for years and LOVE them. I do not know much about car repair but like learning from you
“HELLO AND WELCOME”
you bring so much joy with those words😊!
Somebody was smoking crack that put microfiber right next to the cupholder like that. What were they thinking?!? My plastic interior constantly gets coke and coffee wiped off the plastic on the dash. I can't even imagine what that microfiber dash bit will look like in a year.
A great, honest, informative review as expected. You are the best in your class!😁🙏👏
I bought one 4 months ago, love it. Can't beat the mileage, gets up and goes pretty good.
At walmart, I've been seeing more 0w8 oil than 0w16 that I need.
Saw one today and was quite impressed. They were chomping at the bit trying to get me to test drive and trade, but I don't need a new car OR payments. Love my Corolla SE with 6 speed manual!
I just put a deposit on ours. Excited about it and hope to have it for the next 10 years if not longer. Thank you for all your videos. They're very helpful and easily the best and honest auto reviews, you are helping so many people out. God Bless!
Can't wait to buy this in 15 years with 200,000 miles and love it to death
it may not be the case for any new car to think this as you used to be able to on the older ones. there's parts engineered beyond reliability like the plastic valve cover. in 15 years the valve cover will be prone to cracking if you push on it too hard. I'm sure heat from oil and pressure in the head will work that out itself too.
Using 0w8 i don't think it will go that far.
Don't forget to budget extra 4 grand for hybrid battery replacements + labor
My same thoughts, wait 15 years then buy a 9th Gen Camry. It will probably have a Dead Battery and faulty Electric Motors. But almost everything else will work providing you can find a replacement battery.
@richscott2483 many people are buying 15+ year old Prius with dead traction battery replace it and sell for a small profit. It is only a 4 hour job to replace and can be done without any specialty tools
Mobil 1 0W-8 is readily available through Walmart and it's about $27.47 for five quarts.

I do agree, I see Toyota's cheapening of some of the small details that made them strides above the rest. I agree, that interior microfiber looks tacky.
Most genuine reviewer. Keep going brother
I wish there was an expert mechanic with the quality in detail analysis for each car brand that is able to do such immaculate delivery
Bought this car yesterday - thank you for helping me make an informed decision
$27.98 0W8 at Walmart for 5 quarts of Mobile 1. I just did a quick check and it looks legit. However, this was not a kind move by Toyota as customers should not have to sweat an oil change. Great review, as always. Thank you.
SHHHHH
Make sure the certs match what is specified in the owner's manual.
Please please detailed compare 2025 Camry Hybrid LE vs Prius LE belive me millions be watch we trust your opinion and knowledge for Toyota’s Thank You
Amd delivers the ABSOLUTE BEST auto reviews of ANYONE ANYWHERE period!!!
I do appreciate the non biased and honest reviews given by the ccn. Tells it like it is based on a history of repairing, maintaining and owning Toyotas. I’d like to say thanks.
I have been waiting for this review for a long time , your reviews are in another level comparing to all other reviews
Outstanding insight and content always
I like the 2018, 19 and 20 with the headunit integrated into the dashboard without sticking up in my face, the proper 8 speed automatic transmission, the front end styling of the LE.
I'm hoping you can do a similar video on the Civic hybrid as well!
Great review. Thank you very much for the professional honest review!
Great information.Thank you for honestly.God bless you and your family.
Been eagerly waiting for this review. Planning on upgrading from my 01 XLE next year to probably a 25 XSE so I’m glad you uploaded this to help justify my decision!
Thanks! Microfiber ... how about that.. gack! Thanks for the time and effort!
I just bought my 2025 Toyota Camry 1 month ago and I love it! 💙💙💙
Glad you like it. What mpg are you getting? I'm torn between your Camry and a Prius/Corolla hybrid. I like small cars for ease of parking.
@ryeguy916I recently rented a 2023 Toyota Prius LE. It was relatively quiet, smooth-riding, and good handling. The only reason why we bought the 2025 Camry instead is because of its taller windows. My wife doesn't like short windows like those in my GR Supra.

That is so cool….yes!
It's a nice car but the better gas mileage doesn't make a huge difference to trade in any 8th generation for the latest one. Just to go in debt. Nice try. I see why people stay in debt. If you are not buying car to get in debt not talking about you all
Still enjoying my 2005 Camry. With over 300,000 miles. 20 years and still going.
Hybrids are the most horrible driving experience I've ever had. I can't believe like you who claim they are good to drive.
How do you know what the other one drives when you have 333k miles on your car
the quality of this channel is amazing
I am proud to hear you say little (almost nothing) has changed in the drivetrain. When you get something right and then throw it away just to make something "all new", customers get to test your new crap that may or may not hold up.
Still driving my 2005 Camry fully optioned. Solid as a tank. Over 20 years old & running smooth. Toronto, Canada
I still regret trading my 2005 for 2008 model. This is where Toyota crossed the line from real cars to junk. The Camry might still be better compared to other brands models but compared to its own legacy it's de-evolution. And if I'm paying 30K+ for a Camry I'd definitely skip it and go for a Lexus that offer pure V6 atmospheric engine, no turbo, no hybrid, no BS.
still driving my 2003 Camry 🙂 same generation engine I believe.
I really like your technical reviews, greetings from Germany
0W-8 is available at Walmart. Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy. It’s $28 for 5qt where I live.
the reviews are amazing, they say it drives better in everyway
I really appreciate these reviews....most helpful.
That ocean color is sick and im heavily considering an SE with upgrades.
You’re absolutely right! I am not a rich man but had to get another car this month. Even Kia’s have gotten outrageous and they’re essentially the same cars from 5 years ago when they were much cheaper. They have to start getting realistic. Honda have completely abandoned the working man for cars and even Toyota’s Corolla hatchback is expensive and that used to be a working man’s go-to.
I love your show. You appear to be a good decent man and honesty goes a long way with your viewers and subscribers. Keep up the good work and hopefully many more videos to come.
Now this is the expert i wanted to hear from
You're lighting is very good in this video! Kudos to the setup!
Currently have a 2020 XSE. 54K miles. Originally belonged to my dad before he got another car. Going to keep it for a couple more years. I’m keeping an eye on the 9th gen Camry as a replacement when the time comes. I’m a fan of the new Camry!
I got a 2024 V6, didn't know they we're cancelling it. Glad I did 😄
Not ready to buy quite yet, my 2010 Camry V6 just got new paint, that 2GR is running like new. But when I do go on the "hunt" 2024 will be the cutoff year.
Right, who tf wants a 4 cylinder CTV hybrid 🤢
@MetrosexualFilthidk if you realized how expensive gas has become since 2022, and because of certain circumstances people can’t go full electric. 4cyl hybrids become popular because it’s for commuters who want good fuel economy. If you meant CVT by “CTV”, an eCVT is completely different from a traditional CVT. People just assume they’re the same because of the shitty naming scheme
@MetrosexualFilth. I am on a 2018 Camry Hibrid 110 k miles engine and transmission cero issues.best car I ever owned.
@MetrosexualFilthIt’s not mechanically similar to the Nissan grenades. It’s actually a planetary gear set. ECVT =/= Jatco CVT
Own a 2009 Camry Hybrid with 210K miles. I look forward to buying a used 2025 in 2045 with over $220K. An absolute home run for Toyota. Thanks for your honest review.....others try but I trust your deep dive on this one. May God bless you and the workers at your shop. You are doing a mighty work helping all of us keep our machines running down the road!
You will probably be living in the Matrix in 2045. Do you have any idea just how much the world is going to change in the next 20 years?? The Law of Accelerating Returns. Check it out.
@clintadkisson Eh we don't know how long that law will work out. We will still be driving cars in 20 years.
I dont think a 2025 Camry is not gonna even make it to 150k with the oil consumption issues from 2018 to 2025 but far worse with the new Honda accord with head gasket engine failure 2018 to 2025
I have one. U can buy 0w8 or 0w16 at any Walmart which is an acceptable oil according to the owner’s manual. We love the car! So quiet on the road.
Awesome review! Thank you very much!
"Horrendous" is the perfect description of the crappy microfiber covering!
My microfiber couch is 20 years old, still looks good and easy to clean, red wine and coffee have both cleaned up well, is there another fabric you think would last longer and wear better? I trust that Toyota has got this figured out.
In;Ike it in mine-but it’s the dark gray
@WengertD I like my leather interior on my 2020 Camry
I bought a 25 Camry SE 2 months ago. Love it so far. Averaging 48 mpg. Also got a great deal on it bought it for $28,500!
That deal is a screamer
Nice
Yea right, I was Quoted 36-37K.
@jerzeedivrthat’s how much mine was and I got it last week 😮
A 2025 Camry LE Hybrid wouldn't last 5 years. The Bottom of the Barrel or lowest Trim level always breaks down after the Basic Warranty Expires.
A fully loaded 2025 Camry XSE Hybrid FWD has an MSRP of nearly $42,000 and AWD would be $43,500.
I despise Hybrids and EVs and don't care about MPG. For myself, "ICE", is the only way to go!
I own a 2023 Camry XSE V6 fully loaded MSRP of $41,305 and paid OTD $39,800 incl. Sales Tax, Registration, Plates, and all fees.
I’m still driving my 2010 gas Camry which I bought brand new. This car has never missed an oil change, and it gets its rust proofing yearly. This car has never given me any trouble and it will quite possibly be the last car I own…yes I’ve installed a rear camera and remote car starter…I drive with my eyes open so who needs the lane sensors?
The only thing to give out on this car was the gas struts for the hood..it opens fine, but won’t stay up.. so I use a stick to keep it propped open and the auxiliary channel is no longer working on the stereo
I LOVE my car… and the BEST thing about it is…IT’S PAID FOR!!!😊💕💕
those struts are 40 dollars on amazon and can be changed with a flathead screwdriver, just dont slip and scratch the paint near the clips, i did that and spent more time with the touch up paint than the strut replacement itself .
You are right, we really don’t need lane sensors, however, those emergency braking systems are a god send. No matter how good a driver you are, there are poor drivers out there who will change lanes into yours and then suddenly brake. 🤷🏻♂️
These 10+ year old Camry's are still fun to drive! Our purchased new '11 with 134,000 miles on it is garaged, regular 5,000 mile oil changes, a radiator, belts and hoses, tires, and a $20 driver visor replaced. It has been on several coast to coast road trips and performs flawlessly at highway speeds. With little pressure on the gas pedal it accelerates from 65MPH to 80MPH to get around semi's hogging the middle lane on the interstates. Our aftermarket Kenwood entertainment screen provides apple CarPlay without a removable tablet looking screen on the newer Camry's. Sounds like if this '11 ever fails we will have a great option with the new Camry's! I also love my struts on the hood, and have asked the Toyota dealers that I have visited for oil changes, if they would put the struts on for free to sell me a new Camry - their response = YES!
Thank you for the extremely detailed review. The history of issues is also very helpful.
I own 2005 Camry and am considering adding 2016 because my teenager needs a car. I love his explanations.
I hope one day, sedans make a big comeback. They are underrated and compared to other classes of vehicle, much more affordable to have. I am happy Toyota and Honda have continued to make them. I am a Civic driver myself, but at the time, the Camry SE woulda still been one of my top choices.
We have a RAV4 now but I really miss our 2018 Camry. Just something about a 4 door sedan and with the Camry you got a lot for your money. Great car for road trips and just really nice cabin to be in for long drives.
@mikeboatright5349 I've got both now and I agree with you. Although with kids I do find it easier to put them in the RAV4 simply because of the height. I am 6'2 with a bad back.
I saw a RUclips where a newer Civic (not SI or anything) outran a cop car going 100 or something on an off ramp. Of course the driver was very good, but holy crap.
Toyota Avalon remains my absolute favorite Toyota vehicle ever made. Such an amazing car, especially when well-maintained. I have a friend with an 09 with over 450k miles and still runs like a dream
I hope one day, regular cars will make a comeback. Every new car review I watch makes me hate them more and more. I want a N/A, non-hybrid engine with a manual transmission. Why can't they at least give people like me that option? There are far more people like me than they realize.
Saturday afternoons watching the Car Care Nuts latest video are a highlight of my weekend.
You might want to get out more
I was waiting for this video for a while. Thank you! I bought an XLE specifically for the Dinamica because I LOVE the way it looks, but to each his own, and I highly respect your opinion :)
Pricy? I want XLE w QP pkg, hard to find
Yeah, I ended up getting one without that package even though there was one a city over. I got everything else, though. Mild regrets. Think it was around 37.5K without that
Fantastic video again. Watching from UK and loving your content and informative Toyota & Lexus content and insights 👌👏🙏
Love your work!! Best in the world. Thank you.
Ive seen a few of these spaceships on the road and i approve of the looks 🤟
I parked next to a SE and just the front grill was bigger than my Corolla. Not into the Basking Shark look
Thank you for the awesome review! Hoping you make some updated maintenance, how to videos for the hybrids.
Yeah I wish he would make something specific for this car 😢
I love mine. It’s so great. Went from a 15 Tacoma getting 19mpg to this I’ve been able to achieve 58.9 mpg over 168 miles.
Wow
My 95 nissan truck is getting about 22 mpg, my 2011 mazda 3 gets 35-40mpg. It does annoy me keeping the truck's tank full.
how do you like the drive?
Really? Huh.... 😏🤨
Nice. I've only gotten to 57
I bought a 2018 Camry Le and now have 60,000 miles on it. Never had a problem with it I just do all scheduled maintenance and keep it clean inside and out. It still looks and runs great and I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off.
Regarding the prices. Guess what? In Romania (which is a country in the eastern Europe 😁), there are 3 trim levels. The basic one is 41k euro. The top one is 49k euro. Insane!
Ahmed ! My Walmart here in Surprise Az has Mobil 1 0w8 oil on the shelf now ! 🌵
They do here too in my area and you can get it delivered home in two days as well.
I've had my 25 XSE for about 2 months now. I love it. I've owned 5 Toyota's, and this is my favorite one i've owned.
Better than a V6 Camry? If so, how and why?
@sammyjammy6647 So, I never owned a V6 Camry, so I can't fairly compare the two... but I did own a 2018 4 Cylinder Camry, and thought it was good, but this one is WAY better. The instant torque is awesome (especially in Sport Mode), makes merging on the highway, accelerating from stops, and passing vehicles really easy. I'm currently getting 47 MPG on my drive to work and home, able to go about 2 weeks in between fill ups, and those are usually around $20 where I'm located. I also love the interior of the updated model. I think it looks really good. So I enjoy it a lot more than my old Camry, and the 2 Corolla's I've owned. I'm sure the V6 Camry was awesome to drive, I don't doubt that, but I wouldn't be to worried about this one not being able to compete performance wise. The V6 did have the hp advantage, but this Hybrid model is not slow by any means.
Excellent review. Love your honesty and real how to practicality. Love your videos!
Thank you. I'm currently looking and this was very informative. I appreciate your time.
A doughnut is still better then a can of fix a flat and a prayer. As long as Toyota is still giving you a spare I will continue to applaud them for it.
I purchased a 2025 XLE last month, and I love it it's a really great car
Nice. I want XLE and bumpers must have buttons in it
I've had my 2025 Camry XSE AWD in black for about a month. It's been an amazing car. Drives smooth. Sport mode gives it a jolt - plenty of power. Adaptive cruise is awesome. Interior looks impressive and materials feel high quality. EV mode in parking lots and quiet residential areas is great - using it way more than I thought. Looks low-key money in black with black badges IMO. I thought the gas mileage would be a bit better. If you drive like an angel it's great. But drive somewhat aggressive, it gets less impressive. Overall I'm so happy I bought one. I enjoy driving and looking at it. On top of that, my dealer got me the "dealer demo" so I was one of the first in Canada to take delivery of a 2025 Camry XSE AWD. Couldn't ask for more.
After a whole month? I hope so.
Change that break in oil out
I went to Paris recently, and it appeared that about a third of the cabs were these particular Camry's. They were everywhere in that city.
I loathe sedans, but this is a nice car, especially for the money. If we could have a wagon version, I'd be all over it.
Damn. I feel like they aged that front end. I like the front end of the previous gen better
And the rear. The new one looks like there should be more light there. The same goes for the front.
I wish it felt safe to still drive a sedan. With everyone driving trucks and SUV’s, you can’t even see ahead of you on the road and physics dictate that the sedan driver loses more than not in a collision. If only we had smaller roads like in Ireland…
I appreciate your thorough analysis Care Car Nut (don't recall you mentioning your name). Nice job and display of subject matter expertise!
Waiting for this video! Thanks alot
I just got my 25 Camry and I LOVE IT great gas mileage good quality
What is your gas mileage?
How much did you pay. I just bout an LE and paid 28468
Gas mileage is mediocre for a hybrid.
@imnotusingmyrealname4566folks are getting low to high 50s. That’s stellar
What was your drive out price?@deeseye
I ordered a hybrid fan filter for my venza
