    I had a 2013 Toyota Camry LE as a daily driver, and I loved it. It was great on gas, fun to drive, great on the freeway or in town driving. It's 16 inch tires are full of air and you'll notice a smother ride as compared to thin 19 or 20 inch tires which you'll feel every rut and pothole on the road and are more expensive to replace. The 16 inch tires are inexpensive to replace, and so are the light bulbs. This car is perfect for most people who go to and from work everyday, run errands, weekend trips this Camry is your little work hose. It's a nice looking care and I'd buy one if I didn't own a Toyota Tacoma right now. You can't beat it.

    love the 16 inch wheels. my 2002 Lexus ES300 has same 16 in rims with 215/60 rubber. thick sidewalls so no risk of blowouts/rim damage and best of all you get a luxurious ride. if I was in the market for a sedan, this is the one I would get.

    Toyota was smart to go all hybrid with this model. The only thing is that they might hurt their 2025 Toyota Prius sales, because this car has more power, similar MPG; and has room than that model. Also the pricing is similar or better than the Prius.

    This new generation is really good value, I'm driving the last gen on the lease and it's almost finish. Possible turn it and start again with this new one on a SE trim, just for a daily commute.

    How would you say the suspension feels? Super soft or rough and could be better??

      It is really done right! Not rough or soft.

    Can you please comment on the thin oil Toyota is using now. Will 0W-08 affect the longevity of this engine?

      The build tolerances are so tight I don't think there will be an issue!

    Ocean Gem is beautiful and yes the Camry LE as the entry level model gives you great value and solid reliability. Thank you Steven for the camera work and Joe for the great review!

    No arguing against the value, but I'm not sure why Toyota refused to take a chance on the design considering they had an opportunity to do something fresh for a totally new model. Instead, it just looks like a "hammerhead grille" reskin of the previous gen. If they carried over the modern look of the Prius and Crown to this, they'd have a real standout.

    16" tires give a smooth ride.

      And better MPG. And way cheaper to replace. And less NV&H.
