Strange how people whine about what the Camry is not, and was never meant to be. Makes no sense to complain that an apple isn't an orange. Drove GM cars all my life. When my Bonneville's motor blew up AGAIN, I got a Camry. Solid, smooth, quiet, good handling, good MPG, strong, serious. Quality. When I first drove one, I could "feel" the difference in it and others I'd owned. "So THIS is what a quality car drives like". No wonder it's the top seller in the US, going on 10 years.
Cause Camry buyers aren't assholes who expect a Sti for 20k. Camrys are solid,reliable and quiet. I hate most reviewers cause they trash vehicles cause they don't meet overly high expectations. Micah is one of them for sure
They meet my expectations just fine. They drive, they take off just enough when you need to pass, and they even now have an app to lock and unlock the doors, start the car etc, so it even has the tech from the other guys but with legendary Toyota quality. I have owned 3 Mercedes and 2 Camrys in my life, and the Camry’s have been the best cars I’ve ever owned. The Mercedes is fun but cheap plastic parts that sunbaked and broke, don’t feel like there’s any quality in the newer model Mercedes anymore. Meanwhile the Camrys seem perfect still. I still own all these and still choose to take the 12 Camry out.

I drove a 2002 Camry until this past October. It had 178k miles and no problems until the cat converter went out this past year. Rather than replace, I decided to finally get a new car. I looked seriously at the Camry hybrid before opting to "upgrade" to an Acura TL. After a month owning that, I wish I had bought the Camry. Yes, the TL is faster and more luxurious but to me, not worth the loss in fuel economy and the additional price.
@@jxmar_ they are the best midsize cars you can buy last the longest and have the best resale.. and they are always in demand regardless of how old they are if they are kept in good condition.
I have 13 rav4 le AWD I just traded into 13 Camry XLE and I'm surprised how smooth it drives I highly recommend this car it's so comfy. i don't regret rav4 trading it to an XLE Camry 😊

I bought a 2010 Toyota Camry LE in November of 2014. Love it. My sister this exact 2012 Toyota Camry XLE. I think the interior design is way better then the exterior. But its a nice looking car.
The "Philippine version"of the Camry is not really a Philippine-specific car, It's really an Asian version, as it's sold in Russia, China, Thailand, Vietnam etc. as well. While the look is an objective subject, the level of luxury is the same as long as you don't consider the dealer-installed gimmicks.
All the haters can still hate. But edmunds just realeased their fastest selling cars of april and the camry hybrid was on the list. And on top of that the demand for the camry hybrid is so strong Toyota has added an extra shift at its plant, and they have had record 1st quater of 2012 sales.
I couldn't agree more, some people are acting like toyota should throw in some crazy sports package and intense styling of a sporty couple. haha no. It isnt trying to be something its not!
I test drove a 2015 Camry today and the shifter felt weird to me just going through park to reverse to neutral to drive. I feels cheap to me and like it would have problems later down the road. Do all Camry's have a shifter that doesn't feel solid?
I love this car for all it has to offer for those that just want a reliable simple car. But I would die if I ever had to drive one. So boring. Perfect review guys!
all cars are expensive in Brazil. I have relatives who live there. They say a Honda Civic/Corolla is 55K US dollars or a Ford Fusion is about 80K dollars.
First off, enough already with the appliance thing, long gone from even young peoples vocabulary when it comes to the new Camry's, you certainly show you're not much of a free thinker. Being Romans 829ed comment was right on the money. This review was done by a kid that shouldn't be doing a review for Kelly Blue Book, he hasn't been around long enough to know much about cars or much about anything else.
So you're saying young people no longer think the Camry is an appliance and this guy doesn't know any better because he's young? You realize how stupid that sounds right? Just making claims with no proof doesn't help your argument either. - and if you've never taken English in high school, proof is simple - like "my grandson who is 16 would take a new Camry over an Accord any day."
I'm about to ditch my problematic 2012 Sonata 2.0T and I'm actually thinking of a Camry now... SE, XLE... they look boring but very functional and less dramatic
Everyone I know that had those cars had trouble with the turbos and the engines blowing up.. Hyundai is not good to honor warranties and always try to blame the owners on their cars poor reliability.
@@Pndchris I'm sorry you had that bad luck man !.. Those cars have a lot of technology as well as options and are expensive.. that car should have lasted you a long time without any major trouble other than maintenance.. I have drove Honda's and Toyotas for the last 20 years and I have never had any issues.. never even a light bulb to burn out..I used to buy GM cars and man there was something wrong with them all the time I had to get rid of them by the time they were 6 years old or had 90,000 mi on them or else I knew they would be breaking down and fast.🤪😡🤪
the V6 is a meaty engine i did not expect it in a Camry but DAMN over 250 HP.. if you want to style it just use reflective vinyl from speedpro imaging hehe
@adamY2K that list is totally bogus. Most the cars on the list sell fast.. because the manufacturer purposely makes the amount available minimal so that when one does show up. Its gobbled up fast.
I have the 2012 SE with the 2.5 when it's hot and the air is on it runs considerably more sluggish it robs the engine of significant enough power that you notice can't help but notice 20 horses maybe which is a lot when you have barely 180
Nothing you said makes much sense ,if the car is running right and also the car only has 178 horsepower to begin with so it could not still have 180 and lose 20 horsepower..
May run forever, but i wouldn't want to be forever bored . Its styling is so very insipid and tasteless that it would make life miserable for me. A mazda 6 is a more attractive and better driving car, even if it might give a bit more trouble down the road. For me , the 6 is worth it.
Why is it the philippine version of camry is much better in terms of luxury and exterior design than the american version and the american version looks only a corolla altis in the philippines
This is our 4th Camry (2012 SE) and our last one. No simple compass if at all, and our cruise speeds up when going down hills. The dealer says that's how they work now. Like I said, our last one.
Kia's or garbage.. if you bought one at the time of this video it would be in the junkyard 🤬 and the Camry is still running strong as it is number one.😇💯💯👍

hahaaha, when he said "you got options" and showed for half a second like 10 cars, all were mid-sized sedans. but one of them was a 2013 SRT Viper
This crushes the accord
AbsoluteMdot certainly. It has a lot more body weight and lean.
I don't care what anyone says, this is a good car, may not be a favorite for most, even me, but its a good car. (I am not a fan of Toyota)
