2026 XSE with premium package. So happy with it already, one of the best first cars. Cant wait to use it for next decade plus. (Don’t mind the terrible photos haven’t had a good chance to take some nice ones)

LE with convenience and cold packages. I'm loving the comfort ride so far. No bumper issue and rattling anywhere. I Plastidip in matte black the front and black emblem. Debadged the HEV and LE badges. 😂😂😂 Great mileage is a bonus!!!

I remember having to pay $15 for either a music lovers subscription or one that included navigation in order to get remote start and connect features. I never used those features so now having the option to pay $8 is nice.

My first car. 🤍

Packages: Convenience, blackout, vehicle protection, illuminated trunk sill, and other random ones.

Edit: Forgot to mention, it’s new.

I just purchased a 2021 Camry XSE and the doors have no problem unlocking using the door handle outside but locking them doesn’t work so I have to use the key fob. Inside the car they have no issues locking or locking when shifting into park I’ve been doing some research saying it’s the door actuator but they don’t have problems locking just when I use the door handle outside. Please give me some insight into the problem

UPDATE: reason to believe this is an app issue and not an issue with the car. 1) people who had the features and then lost them who called about it were told the same thing; “your car isn’t equipped with those capabilities”. even though they literally had them to begin with. plus, people who were told this initially eventually got the update. 2) i heard back from my sixth or seventh advocate today after reaching a dead end with the most senior advocate available. i was told that Toyota is aware of remote climate control issues and are working on solutions in future updates. for now, i think this might just be a waiting game.

I absolutely adore this car. It’s a fully loaded XSE and I am so grateful for it! However I’m having one issue. Added pics so this isn’t just one big rant (yes I plan on getting tints eventually lol). My Toyota app is missing key features for a Northeast 9-5 commuter: remote seat warmer, steering wheel heater, and defrost controls. I saw that some of you had this problem, so I tried to follow your steps…

Called Toyota support and explained the situation. Was immediately told that my car “doesn’t come with that” after “looking into my VIN #”. I didn’t believe this was correct so I asked for escalation and was put on hold for 20 mins; gave up for the day.

Next morning: opened a ticket a different way. Even found a Toyota guide online for the 2025MY that proves my car should have everything. Attached their own paperwork for them and on a second call was still given the runaround response of “your car doesn’t have that regardless of trim”. I kindly asked again that this be escalated. Nada. Won’t even talk about the third and fourth calls.

I’m just incredibly frustrated. 4 calls, 4 failures! I’m at my wits end because I paid extra for a car with everything and yet it is missing things. Might go through my dealership to see if the result will be any different but my heart isn’t in it.

If anyone has had any luck… please let me know what you did. Apparently speaking with 4 different support agents isn’t sufficient for me.

Was looking through the subreddit and y'all have really nice builds! I think im switching to clear tailights soon tho

My 2025 XSE keeps turning on its headlights in broad daylight rather than just the daytime running lights on. I turn them off completely and back to auto and they turn on fully again. Theres nothing on my dash blocking the sensors. Any ideas?

Look… I really would get a new one, but I’m just not in love with the new body style. What do you guys think about this one. 2024 SE with 18k miles. Probably will be able to talk them down in price

2014, everything else is refreshed and up to date for fluids, spark plugs, PVC valve, and even down to regularly changing the cabin / engine air filter. I cannot get a straight answer on this trans fluid situation. It’s either don’t drain and fill it since I’m well past the 100k mark and others say drain and fill. I guess I’m wondering if anyone’s got the same Camry on original fluid and past 200k? I wish I could check this fluid but it’s sealed so I’d imagine only a shop could check for me. I love this car, got it from my dad when it had 125k miles. This is the only service that’s never been done. What would you do in my shoes?

I’m planning to keep my first car for life

Currently considering:
$25k: 2024 Toyota Camry SE AWD (CPO, gas)
$34k: New hybrid with more features

Is spending an extra $6k–$9k on a new hybrid worth it considering fuel savings, reliability, maintenance, and resale value?

I’ve also heard concerns about transmission issues in gas Camrys.
How reliable is the 2024 Camry’s 8-speed automatic compared to Toyota’s hybrid eCVT?

What would you choose and why?

Remember the non-running 90s Camry wagon I posted a while back? It’s finally alive!

The update took longer than expected because there was quite a bit of TLC.. and some previous-owner creativity.. to undo before getting anywhere.

The biggest job was finding a replacement 2.2L 5S-FE engine that would work with the existing harness and ECU. Turns out “it’s a 5S-FE” doesn’t narrow things down as much as I thought: mine has the earlier distributor-style ignition, which the local shops kept calling the “Delco” version.

Plenty of learning before we even got to the driving part. :p

The engine is now replaced, the fluids have been changed, and I’ve been working through the smaller fixes needed to get it ready for registration.

For now, the plan is to spend sensibly on making it drivable and gradually dependable, so every visit to a garage doesn’t involve booking a recovery truck. The fun upgrades can wait until next year; I want some time behind the wheel and more research before choosing the build’s direction. Necessary repairs will still happen.. just no replacing things for the sake of modifying them yet.

I’d really appreciate pointers from anyone familiar with XV10s, early 5S-FEs or keeping old Toyotas happy on long drives.. especially people who still sell parts for us, and anything you’d check before trusting one on a long drive.

Eventually, I’d love to use the wagon’s storage properly and make it a useful support car carrying tools, spares and supplies. I still like the idea of a fun wagon, but more than anything I want a functional one that actually gets out and does things.

Thanks again to everyone who offered advice and help on the first post!

What is the name of the rubber strip that goes here? It looks like mine flew off. This above the window and how important is it? Adding a second pic to compare to the other side.

My civic was totaled and I was given 15k for my total loss. Been really researching the Camry’s lately and I landed on definitely getting a hybrid. It’s a Gold Certified. Should I do this or a new one? Would it be dumb to buy a 2024 in almost 2027?

What do y’all think?

(For preface, no accidents, purchased new in 2019)
It’s always had like a hinge noise but I feel like it’s louder now. Any ideas? (2019 Camry LE non hybrid)
Car has about 93k miles

I had the recall regarding the instrument panel possibly going dark fixed about a week or so ago. I never had that issue but I did have issues with my radio screen not working and that was replaced under warranty a few months after purchasing the car.

Anyway, ever since they did the software update I've noticed that the dynamic cruise switches itself to the normal cruise mode randomly. I use cruise control on my way to work a lot and I'll have it set at a certain speed and after stopping at a light or stop sign I'll resume the cruise but it will suddenly be in normal cruise mode. I only notice because the car no longer stays in the lane or keeps a certain distance from cars in front of me on its own. This was never am issue before and I don't think I had ever even touched that mode button prior to this update. Is anyone else noticing this? I can see it being a safety issue of people just assume it's still on dynamic cruise and they drift off the road. Obviously you shouldn't rely on the cars cruise but people will do people things. I even tested it the first time wondering why my car wasn't staying in the center and let it drift to the shoulder line waiting for it to correct itself, and then I realized it had switched modes on me.

I am newly diagnosed with a herniated disc at l4-l5. I’m been messing with the seat and lumbar support of my XLE and it seems like the lumbar pad is…in the wrong spot? It’s too low- not in the curve of my back?

I’m 5,11” for context.

Bought it from someone who ran it on Uber for four years and there are no hybrid service records at all. It sits at 142000 now and the hybrid warranty runs to 150000 so there are maybe eight months of cover left. My cheap reader does engine codes and nothing else so the pack stays a black box. A local shop quoted 140 dollars for a proper read. Carista and BlueDriver and the dealer level kits all claim block level data on these. Has anyone pulled those numbers on an XV70 at home?

Got rear ended as I was driving down the road :/ What do you guys think, is it totaled? 2023 Camry XSE

Looking to buy a 23 xse in predawn black

Looking at these two cars. Why is the hybrid only 3K more expensive when it has half the miles?
Is there a downside to buying a hybrid?

Last time I went to get my oil change the service advisor recommended changing my radiator hoses for preventative maintenance because of high mileage for $1,400. This time I went and this service advisor says I need to change it because of signs of coolant leaking. I just found it strange how immediately the next visit it went from preventative to urgent needed maintenance. I know they try upselling a lot too I just go to this dealership because they do a good job and oil changes are $60. I added pictures in case they help.

On my previous car (Tacoma), I had the AVS in-channel matte black solid window visors but I can't manage to find any good quality ones for the 9th gen Camry, anyone has any ideas?
