This is an AMAZING car, especially at this price point. It even looks better in person. For someone with a family and a limited budget where you need a car for the family and groceries but at the same time you want to have something that will put a smile on your face every time you drive it, the Camry TRD hits a nice sweet spot. Combine all that with that legendary Toyota quality which means you will have a car that will outlast its warranty and you have an AMAZING car. The ONLY thing that prevented me from putting this on my shortlist was that it did not come in a manual :( If this Camry TRD came in a manual I would be working hard to try to find a way to fit it in my garage. As was said in the video I also think an LSD would do wonders in this car. Well done Toyota! I hope they sell a ton of these to show even at $30,000 people want good looks, good value, and good performance. You really get a lot of car for your money here.

For me, Toyota nailed this car. I’m not a full blown car enthusiast. Being from the North east and wanting to keep a car for 10 - 20 years, this is perfect. Same tuning and components (so just as reliable) as the Camry but appearance only changes. That’s all I would want and I’m glad they got rid of the unnecessary high end features that don’t matter imo. I hope they keep it for longer. It’s semi affordable still and gives you a few extra goodies while maintaining the Toyota parts and tuning of the legendary Camry. A good daily car. Personally, it’s more fun and economical to buy a motorcycle instead of a sports car for when I want to tool around and have fun.

So true. That's what makes the Camry such a great car. For me it performed like a Swiss watch that always did what I needed it to do and never let me down. When you add up all the things that it does well enough and although mostly not exciting, remarkable or particularly memorable, it does add up to a satisfying ownership and driving experience.

Good stuff Toyota now lets take it a step further and make a GR Camry. Also it sounds badass with the TRD better then the Honda V6 more smooth and refined. ALSO I agree on not putting the LSD on this car that was a big mistake and that drop from 1st gear to 2nd gear really kills the speed. This car could have really been a legit performance sedan but I agree they purposely didn’t go all out. But even with this this TRD Camry is still the best in class.

Man, it's the TRD poser styling pack and the wing looks nice and fits the idea, but how can you not ask for a brake caliper recolor?? They're literally drawing attention to themselves pretending to be hot stuff but it makes it more obvious that they're not.

If Camry was available with a manual transmission, I would buy it over an Accord. And the TRD Camry would really have been exclusive with a manual transmission! Preferably with the naturally aspirated v6 but at least with the 2.5L four cylinder.

@evoman44 Жыл бұрын
I used to work at a Toyota Dealership back in the day when the Camry was last offered with a manual V6 combo. The manual models were a different beast than the automatic. It could put down a lot of power and torque. It could chirp the tires all the way to 3rd gear. That was truly a fun car to drive.

Toyota should make a TRD Pro version of this with an LSD and possibly a bigger rear sway bar for those that DO want to take it to the track or autox. Maybe even have a better summer tire like the Bridgestone S007A. Hell, electronic shocks and a valved exhaust are the trends right now for current performance cars. Toyota has potential to take this Camry TRD far if they would just have the balls to release something a real enthusiast wants. There are people out there that will buy this Camry TRD and go "You know, I want a better handling car/something more" and end up trading it in.

The single biggest issue seems to be the absence of an LSD. The “performance-inspired” case could be made with that included. Same issue the “one-tire-fire” 2.0t 6MT Accord has. Well, if you added your own LSD, and changed the final drive ratio while you were in there, maybe these would be Sporty.

When I put Goodyear Eagle Exhilerates on my Turbo Mazda6, it pretty much solve all the traction problems that I had(That you also show in your review of the Turbo Mazda6). I am quite happy now. Mazda should've put these tires on the car to begin with, especially since the Goodyears are comparable in comfort and noise yet handle the torque of the 2.5L Turbo so much better over the stock Falken crossover tires. I'm actually surprised the summer tires wouldn't help a V6 powered Camry like this.

I have a 2015 XSE V6, and with less power than the current V6 all it wants to do is spin the tires. Hell, in snow the traction control can't even reign it in enough to keep the wheels from spinning madly if you get on the throttle. You'll have to pry that V6 from my cold dead hands though. Silky smooth and bulletproof reliable.
