The first few new Camrys are finally rolling into the dealership! Rather than start with one with all the bells and whistles, I figured I'd start with the cheapest new Camry Toyota makes now. Subscribe for more "on the ground" new Toyota content.

I had a 2013 Toyota Camry LE as a daily driver, and I loved it. It was great on gas, fun to drive, great on the freeway or in town driving. It's 16 inch tires are full of air and you'll notice a smother ride as compared to thin 19 or 20 inch tires which you'll feel every rut and pothole on the road and are more expensive to replace. The 16 inch tires are inexpensive to replace, and so are the light bulbs. This car is perfect for most people who go to and from work everyday, run errands, weekend trips this Camry is your little work hose. It's a nice looking care and I'd buy one if I didn't own a Toyota Tacoma right now. You can't beat it.

@coniccinoc Ай бұрын

I wish they would make those smaller rims optional on the upper trim. I live in an area with a lot of potholes and more tire less rim is a bonus.

@AskforBryan Ай бұрын

The SEs and XSEs have a lot more going on with the bodywork and the smaller wheels would kinda look off in my opinion. I do understand what you mean with tire costs though. The sport trims are meant to me sporty though, both in appearances and in handling. Those 17s are clearly economy tires which aids in the 51 MPGs.

Toyota offers options on LE. Might be OK adding something to base model rather than moving up in model.

@GenXtra65 28 күн бұрын

In the real world of driving, more ground clearance and tire side wall is better. A better ride and fuel economy should have been our first clue that thin tires and big rims are a silly trend.

I'm pretty sure the Toyota dealer would swap out a set of "base" rims off any LE on the lot, for your upper trim wheels they'd then put on the LE. Probably even do it free of charge, if you ask nicely!

Thanks for a nice review. I learned different points from you that I didn't from others. It was nice to see a review on a totally stripped LE that didn't even have a power seat. (although you do get it with the Convenience Package). In fact it's worth pointing out that a 25' LE with the Convenience Package + Cold Weather Package is cheaper than the 24' Camry LE Hybrid with just the Cold Weather Package alone, and still has many more features than the 24 LE hybrid does.

@AskforBryan Ай бұрын

A lot of that decreased disability has to do with crash test safety standards with a lot more emphasis on roof damage so as these cars get structurally stronger that typically means they are going to get a little bit thicker on the roof lines. At least they do have a lot of safety features baked into help with that now.

@@AskforBryan Toyota Canada has lost the plot over the last few years. We can get our cheapest version of the FWD SE with 16" rims to smooth our notorious potholes. Quite incredibly, we have to pay for 18" rims in the package that gives us the SE with the AWD we need for extra winter traction. No bueno. 😡 This aggravation just adds to the frustration caused by the chronic shortage of Hybrids in our market. We make the RAV4, Lexus NX and RX Hybrids up here but they are in very short supply. Speaking of short supply, I just don't see where Toyota will get the batteries to supply a 100% Hybrid Camry lineup in 2024.

It is unfortunate the Big 3 has pretty much thrown in the towel on cars. Now they are trucks and SUV's that are over priced and not practical for most entry level owners. I believe import design and technology teams have proven to be favored overall, however with more careful management the domestic brands could do way better than they have, but that's my honest opinion. Not to mention Stalantis is calling the shots as well. Ford still hanging in there but who can trust the future reliability and OEM parts availability when they discontinue models and recklessly pay attention to customer service at the dealerships. You really have to ask yourself" is it worth the price"?🤔

But their actually the perfect size for this size car. The increased sidewall flex produces a more comfortable ride that doesn't pound and beat the car to death causing early rattles and squeaks.
