2012 Toyota Camry SE V6 Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review

Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! KZbin's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth look at the 2012 Toyota Camry SE.
MSRP pricing for the camry start at:
L (2.5L 4cyl): $22,055

XLE (2.5L 4cyl): $24,775 XLE (3.5L V6): $30,115
During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

I recently bought a 2012 SE. 10 years later it still feels like the perfect blend of form and function; for anyone looking to buy, I would highly recommend the 4 cylinder. It’s a pleasure filling up once every 450 miles in a vehicle that does everything it should, easily.

[@floridaroadways]

V6 is better

[@definitionXrp]

that torque converter tho killed my camry

[@floridaroadways]

I fill up every 395-420 miles on my V6.

That V6 sounds awesome! And the horn doesn't sound like roadrunner!

[@GreenLifeSource]

I recently rented one of these in the 4 cylinder version and I was totally impressed with the car. It was comfortable, had a very quiet cabin, and the 4 cylinder outperformed itself in every situation. The MPGs were astounding, I got about 27 mpg in total city driving while I had it. I can totally see why people are buying these cars left and right. The Camry gives you the feel of a luxury sport sedan while giving optimal gas mileage. The interior was a little plasticky, (if that's a word) but the performance of the car is nothing short of outstanding.

[@KR_Diecasts]

I drove a 13 Camry SE as a rental. Loved it toyota nailed it with this gen camry. I'm not normally a Toyota guy but these new camrys are nice,

[@youknowwho5560]

+GreenLifeSource Even '14 and '15 corollas are nice!

[@nigahiga6400]

+Will, Follower of Jesus Even with the V6 mileage is excellent. I've done 31mpg highway in an older '08 Camry V6, 3mpg above EPA estimate. It's very quiet, very smooth, with none of the harshness turbo four cylinders have. I've always seen Camrys as boring blobs especially the earlier XV40 models, but now I'm trying to find a good used one.

[@1979irock]

Kyle you're probably the best reviewer I have found yet Kyle, your ES350 reviews were awesome.

[@Videogamefan1992]

I like how all of your videos show the cars from similar angles and cover the similar basics, so it's easy to compare. Great job

This model and the 2014 model (which are basically the same) looks better than the new 2015 model.

[@mannycruz216]

I agree. the 2012-2014 looks much better than the new face lift the 8th generation received in 2015.

[@Painfulwhale360]

My wife and I are looking at this exact vehicle right now. We have the 2015 Sienna with the same 3.5L V6 and it’s awesome! So I imagine having the same V6 in the Camry would be even better being that it’s 1000lbs lighter than the Sienna.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

[@saxman112]

Man has Toyota really stepped up their game lately. I have a 2011 Highlander myself, and I'm really impressed with it. Granted, I have just the base model or LE trim, but I'm still impressed with the giant improvements Toyota has made with all of their cars. The inclusion of such standard features as automatic lights, heated mirrors, and a windshield de-icer is pretty nice. I'm even impressed with how comfy the seats are. For being just cloth seats, I thought they were actually pretty comfortable for taking this thing on its first long (4.5-5 hours) drive from WI up to MN (which is where I go to college). The only thing I'm slightly disappointed about them is that at least the driver seat (also the front passenger seat) isn't powered, but that doesn't matter too much because I'm the only one driving the car. This means that I've only had to set it once, and then forget about it. I also really like that there's now an auxiliary jack built in. This means I don't have to futz with cumbersome FM transmitters. I don't even mind that my car didn't come standard with Bluetooth, as that aux jack is the next best thing. I can have any music playing through my iPhone (or any other audio device) as well as have my navigation done through it, and along with that, I can just use Siri for my voice commands (which in my opinion works a hell of a lot better than some current built-in systems). Speaking of all this audio talk, I personally think that the standard 6-speaker audio system actually sounds pretty good. Toyota has been pretty good about that though. With just the right settings, it can sound like the next best thing to a premium audio system. Needless to say, Toyota really has made many leaps and bounds with the quality of their cars, and I couldn't be happier with my '11 Highlander.

[@bamf802]

i have a 2011 and they really did an awesome job redesigning it for 2012.. the exterior and interior are much nicer.. im getting one after my lease is up

[@dave11686]

Great vid as always Kyle!

[@JJMCB26]

We used to have the Camry in the UK market years ago but had sadly flopped over there. In America, I assume it was marketed as a family car while in Europe it was marketed as an executive saloon (Audi A6/BMW 5 Series rival) but most people weren't convinced by it so they went for the European built Avensis instead. Love the new 2012 version of this Camry though, looks way better than most Camry's I've seen in the past, a huge improvement I'd say. Great review, saabkyle04! Keep up the good work!

[@dave22h34]

I'm just borrowing his old Camry right now til I get a new car. I'm getting a 2017-2021 Toyota Corolla with 20K and with 30K miles on it.

I remember when these came out and had those wheels.. Some of the four cylinders had it but I think they were an SE-S. I thought those wheels were beautiful..They were really a standout and made the car look great.. the same as the Honda Accord touring wheels on the 2018 to 2020.

I had a 2006 Toyota Corolla S before that which had no problems as expected. Replaced the Altima with a new 2015 Camry XSE V6, then a used 2017 Lexus IS200t F-Sport, now currently a 2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport that I bought last year all with no problems. No more Nissan for me!
