My Opinion, I would choose Accord or Sonata over Camry, because they are cheaper, lighter and more powerful and more economical deem to more gears of transmission, means more options for the car to choose for power delivery. However, some say Camry is the most comfortable and rigid among others, that maybe a subjective review but i wouldn’t think it’s untrue.

Thanks.

Left out another important question.

Is there any performance lack-zones in the differenct models of this car? I had a 1997 Toyota Corolla 1.6 before and I was experiencing 65-85 kmph lack-zones in performance. Once I hit this zone, the car is feeble and less-responsive. Really hated this when going outstation carrying my love ones. I was sure then the Corolla was meant to be a 1.8

Is there such a difference between the 2.0 and 2.4? Is there anyone with similar experiences?

Thanks in advance.

Any owners of the new Camry here in this blog? I am just an “Ah Pek” looking to purchase this car for the main family & biz. I am driving a Honda City VTEC at the moment & would like to upgrade to a car with more space.

Need some feedback if you can spare some: -
- How is this car’s fuel consumption? Better to buy 2.0 or the 2.4 for efficiency?
- How does the car perform in city? Start, stop, go. Does it drive like an elephant?
- Costs of maintaining it? Major & minor services?
- Any things I should be aware of when I buy this car? Hair raisng / concerning experiences?

Would really like to hear from you guys.

Thanks in advance

had Paul gotten to opportunity to test drive all new camry? eager to get more feedback. understand 2.0G without autocruise and is not an optional feature if you are interested since it was not included in the CBU specs ;O( anyone will new experiences driving one lately?

my dad test drove the 2.4 recently….engine was very smooth…quiet and responsive…all info are placed at the computerised speedometer [MID] and very practical…the cabin quality has been improved drastically…u can even adjust the lumbar support at the front passenger and driver seats…

toyota..told ull have to wait around 3 months for a camry…they launched it at oct…not even 3 months….there are plenty on the road

plenty as in seriously a lot…to me i prefer the Camry to the Accord…i also like the new Civic…..but i dont see anymore cefiros on the road….

only toyotas and hondas

The interior is brilliant – its not short of space. I found the the automatic folding rear sunvisor a neat gadget and it unfolds automatically when you go in reverse. The passenger windows also come with manual sunvisors which together with the rear visor makes the back a pretty cosy place to be when the suns out baking.

Found a few beefs with the large integrated radio and air-cond unit which isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing, comes with a typical "after-market" blue hue illuminating the facade, plus the button fonts are huge. Also, the six-bin in-built dash CD also makes quite a racket when it swaps CDs – the kind which makes you go " is this right ? ".

Also found the rear screen rake a little to steep for my liking so I guess it was a good idea that they threw in the rear (and front) parking sensors which by the way can't be deactivated when in Drive (not sure really) and goes beeping away especially in the MRR2 bumper-to-bumper crawl.

For me, the best thing about the Camry which is its key product strength is its external styling. I ain't a fan of Japanese barges but the Camry is a good looker and certainly much better than its predecessor. Too me I see a rebadged albeit lower spec'd Lexus LS460. Its got that all important Malaysian X factor i.e. looks more expensive that it really is. Seriously, I concur with the many reviews that the Camry offers tremendous value at its entry cost of RM139k.

Its either Toyota has widened its appeal or i'm just getting older. Not sure..maybe a bit of both.

Spacious=City

Tech + SRS 2units=City

Vios=small spacewise and dark interior (suitable for kid n children only)

And….if you don't like the photos or comment that it looks plastic, maybe the aussie website will do some justice!

We understand why you do not like Hondas and we do not blame you. Maybe you genuinely had a very bad experience with them. Mind sharing it with us? You're experience could be a valuable lesson learned to all Honda drivers in Malaysia.

from the start you have not stated technically what is wrong with the city gearbox. it seems you have a far superior knowledge than us so if you do so kindly please enlighten us.

talk watever u guys like u guys really clever.ya, im stupid.i think non of u are working in the automobile world.all just mention like god.come work in this world n gain experince with the comom 1st only talk with me la.

no wonder y so many people buying hondas car.really know little little but then act like pro

Later, you claim City's battery will fail after 6 months. Maybe you should open the bonnet and check if the battery is made by Honda or Century Battery??? As King mentioned, Honda would replace it under Warranty so the price is not an issue… even tho I have to say your estimation is almost RM100 more than street price. Plugging the battery will reset the ECU anyway so what sort of settings will RM300 provide? I am also like King, where my wife's City is running for 3 years + without any gearbox problem at all, and I know plenty of other City owners with no complains. Just because you heard 1 isolated case don't try to say that ALL City will have same problem. I have also heard of 1 month old Camry with a jammed gearbox but I know that's only a one off thing.

BTW, this is a Camry tread and most of the people here are commenting about how it is against Accord so why the heck are you talking about City, Vios, Civic and Altis??? Oh darn, why am I even bothered about someone who mentions about a Kancil before a Camry??? Enuf said.

IMO, the 4th gen Camry is a step in the right direction. It doesn't look as dumpy as the 3rd gen and at least not as old fashion too. I never understood why UMW didn't choose the Singapore model which looked very much like the Lexus. That would have turned the tide against Accord. However, Honda did a reversal and created a really ugly butt on the facelifted model. I think this Camry is gonna sell much better than before.

i agree with our local honda civic's mounting problem. do you kno why? it is because nowadays local honda cars are from thailand!

try mugen civic or honda civic from japan and you'll know what the differences are

the same goes to city – try mugen fit aria or honda fit aria from japan

why does our honda cars are getting degrading and lousier?

it's because of thailand made – cut-cost!

why people like city than vios?

1. because fully-modified city of mugen totally owns full-modified vios of TRD

2. because city comes with 2 engines – VTEC for performance or IDSI for fuel-consumption

3. because city has manual transmission gear

4. because vios dashboard sucks

i think you should think before you talk

Thanks
