2015 Toyota Camry

by thewatch on 05-23-2015
great car, not so smooth ride
I have had to drive a Camry for about 2 weeks now while my car was away and while it offers some nice comforts it's not the smoothest car to drive.

The display and look of the interior is really nice. The touch screen is a little hesitant sometimes and when calling through Bluetooth it sometimes takes a few seconds for the other person to hear you.

It's nice to drive around in this car - in the city! The fuel economy is good and it sits nicely on the road. It picks up speed really well, without having you worried the motor is gonna fall out. It's a little rocky when driving faster on the Highway and after a 2-3h drive my hands were vibrating because of that. Also if you're a smaller person (like moi) than the car has a lot of blind spots. No wonder the rear view camera is standard - you can't see past the trunk!

The thing that gets me is that the car doesn't seem to have a 'distance to empty'-indicator, which I find strange in a car considering its 2015! My 2002 Chrysler had one! Maybe I just wasn't able to find it, yet, but then that does not speak for it's accessibility.

I'm glad to give this back as it is not the car I would want to drive around in forever, but it is a nice looking car and for Toyota lovers probably a good pick.

Quite the ship
This car is big! Or... huge considering it's a 4-door sedan. It's quite the ship to drive around. It feels very save though, I was never worried about getting into an accident.
It drives smoothly and is very efficient on the highway. An average of 10l/100km I'd say (that's both highway and city - it's less efficient in the city, of course). It's got a great motor, but because of it's size needs a little to really pick up. Can get loud though, definitely needs regular oil changes and upkeep.

The one major issue I had with this car is the electric: the computer seems to have gotten damaged on a rocky road (unavoidable in Canada, so really quite the bummer!) and had to go to the mechanic a few times to exchange wiring. The problem remained and finally I was told the entire computer needs to be replaced (at least a $1000 repair). It drove alright even with the problem, so I never bothered fixing it, it only really affected the starter and the higher RPMs.
