    Always amazes me to how people never use the Auto function for climate control. You set it at the temperature you want and the car does its best to get you the temperature you want as quickly and efficiently as possible and maintains it. Works like a charm even when it’s -40c out as it senses when the coolant is warms up enough and blasts the heat accordingly.

    • @djplonghead5403
      @djplonghead5403 Месяц назад

      I find that if you are trying to warm up the cabin it will blow warm air until it gets to that temperature and then it will start blowing cool air. The problem is with any vehicle that lets you set a specific temperature. The feature that it controls seat and steering wheel heat/vent is cool.

    Wow, just wow! You did a perfect review of both the LE and XSE. I watched both of them side by side. Even though the XSE has acoustic noise reduction glass on front windows (both have acoustic w/s), I felt that LE was significantly quieter than the XSE in your video. You had the panaramic sunroof only half open in the XSE to replicate the LE's moonroof and had the mic in the exact same position. Just done it perfectly! So much better than just a car review! I think the LE might be better value than the XSE if people prefer lower NVH.

      priorities of driving fun, saftey, effiency , sustinability, , are very harmonious with each other, but laws like CAFE laws and media influencers are encouraging the market to go against what is good for everyone, and engineers at car companies are simply taking the beating and obeying this sad world order because fo their finance team. toyota real world fuel effeincy is better because bfsc chart , epa testing drives cars slowly so small engines are more effceint in that testing but in real world, over tubro bossting small engine is common in average driver behavior . i want gordon murray auto them to collborate on prius , or at leasta version of prius thats more of a handling car because preserving momentum arounds turns to a extent is less usage of materials , less emissions, than relying on decreasing battery life of regenrative braking system, and account for tire wear dust emission and brake dust (for soem brake types) too. for example, imagine prius with no trunk and had peopel sitting lower by shorter structure height, light cheap slippery areo kit protecting weight focused structure perportioning of glass etc a front wheel drive hybrid and a midrear engine rear wheel drive for better non powered momentum preservation , because battery recycling cannot fully happen and currently has been not happening much, hybrids use less materials than any other setup, that means less emissiosn too. also factor in that weight rmakes crash safety, road wear repair rates, materials usage , all emissions including tire emissions (emissions analytics website, endocrine disruptor microplastic, etc) , driving fun (light weight allows easier traction control and traction loss control and allows less powered steering which allows feeling how close to grip limit car is like mclaren/lotus elise/emira etc) . factor in corbrett report, vocational science of freedom, etc, realizations about th climate crisis issues, CAFE laws and europes equal being nonsense supporting "suv" and electric cars (almost the worst car type and the most popular among these "environmentalist") , ani nuclear nergy sentiment among these "enviromentalist", etc... situation for electic cars gets worse. we dont have a already mass scale solution , at best there maybe the "electric universe nikola tesla" theories , if you like. they could make a compact 4 seater that is liek coupe with practical rear seat (not as is usually done) ,, and they can have recycled forged carbon fiber and suspesnion that angles and heightens the car to have it lower crash absorbing stuff hit that of tall suvs . if it doesnt hit lower sitting cars well, at least it doesnt get hit in its weaker parts by the other cars stronger parts. driving fun is mostly about the challengeing game of often being near danger because everyone values not crashing, so its exciting. quickness (liek go forces) doesnt really matter. but a more commonly enjoyable driving fun is speeding more at optimal power and RPM level according to bfsc chart (similar deal also in electric power motors) on more rather downhill roads and even very temporarily beyond areodynamicly effceint speed before rather uphills roads, and steering braking minimally and smoothly... this is driving effciently, and you could be obsessed over the greater amount of pursuit of perfection that could be had compared to proper h pattern manual clutch experince, because you could get excited similarly as much about such goals as you would care about not crashing. maybe you can combine both by simulated version of such manual in effceint drivetrain that isnt too non dramatic, as a real h pattern clutch would, or maybe even better if your open minded to having high quality speakers at headrest give a sense of sound communicating how close to grip limit you are to acompany the rather non power steering sort of driving experience , or hearing the limited slip differential torque vectoring so you can feel precisely how its distributing torque and wheel rpm even when you dont have traction to feel it. ..............................all this stuff is good for everything that makes driving fun (except louder driving sounds and more danger by quicker paced driving at race track, where stuff like 0-60 mile per hour in 2 seconds isnt disappointingly boring for the costs because the fun doesnt last long enough) and everyone average crash saftey, and less usage of materials for longer lasting 1st world living standard (sustainability and chemicals toxicity) : light weight, showing the driver how close to grip imit he is at, relativly higher grip for making risky effceint driving safe , easy to own cheap reliable car, hybrids instead of electric car for weight and recyclability and materials usage economy sustainability, mid rear engine weight distribution, some non hybrids, limited slip differential (presumably a effceint one that probably disengages when not used, for less tire wear , stability when making speed on curving downhill roads for effiency) .
      CAFE law and europes equal and influencers, all go agaisnt the type of car that is actually good, in favor of the opposite. car companies pretty much neer try to influence things, they just take the beating and obey. ironicly, these people pretend to care about emissions, saftey , actualy enjoying cars instead of using them overpay for cheap quality social status... much of the world is like this nowdays. corbett report, vocational science of freedom how your assets are stolen from birth, divine speech by nouman ali khan and sharif randhawa (the only attempt to see rationality in "religion" )

      It still uses the TGA platform from 2024, the same 2.5 liter hybrid set up, but with fine tuning on the hybrid system, new dashboard, new grill and tail section. I would say "strong refresh". It's difficult to improve upon perfection, just some heavy fine-tuning.

    I actually like the 12" screen better than my 100K RX450H+.... you can adjust much more on this from the looks of it.

    We have the 3.5 V6 mated to an 8-speed auto in our 2018 Highlander. We love it, don't get me wrong, but we're averaging 14.0L/100km on daycare runs. It's a good thing we don't do a ton of mileage. It definitely sounds nice and angry, but at the end of the day, it's a family car. I'd rather get stellar fuel economy (pollute less, spend less) than have an audibly pleasing engine. It's also deceivingly not-that-fast for 300+hp, but it's also moving 2,000 kg. The Camry is in the 1,650 kg region, so 230hp should be quite nice, and 4.7-5.3 L/100km would be even nicer.
    With only the (eventual) Mazda6 PHEV in the way, I think a Camry SE AWD will be the firm replacement for my current 2014 Mazda3 2.0 6MT. Maybe in 2027-ish. I want to give Mazda a chance at wow'ing me. And besides, my Mazda3 has basically been a Corolla in reliability all these years, and averaging me 6.5L/100km with a fantastic amount of joy behind the wheel.
