Just got my 2021 Camry LE with cold weather package and convenience package that means almost all the bells and whistles. Push start button, heated stirring wheel, heated seats, BSM blind spot monitor, side mirror lights, sensor behind the door handles and a whole bunch of other things except remote start. I love it and I think it’s the best trim with those two packages for the money.

I prefer the key entry for the lower trims. When you use that, it does not allow would be robbers from picking up the key signal when you open the door manually.

A new Camry without auto climate is indeed a head scratcher. As for the keyed ignition, thank you Toyota. It's good to get the keys out of my pocket and not rattling around in a cupholder.

[@naveenthemachine]

You get single zone automatic climate control on the SE and TRD. Xle XSE and all hybrids get dual zone automatic climate

[@webcomment8895]

That’s cheap since even Corolla LE has standard automatic climate control.

[@angelicadrogemuller6443]

fortunately, the 2022 models have dual climate zone standard

[@mowcowbell]

I rented a 2021 Camry SE and drove it from OKC to KC. Unless the MPG computer in the car is completely bogus, it indicated I got 46mpg on the trip. Averaged around 70mph and I did have a tailwind much of the way. I agree, the switchblade manual key needs to go... guess I'm spoiled by push button starting.

[@superbird24]

I like the switchblade. Ignition is way less repair bill than electronic start.

[@MrHuff05]

The manufacturers want the consumer to pony up and move to higher trim levels to get extra amenities like charging ports in the back and automatic climate control and moon roof etc.

[@samlung2724]

Well duh, they have been doing that for years. Don't expect anything from a base and le model. That has always been a standard. You get what you pay for.

[@THEGAMINGHELP101]

Yup its pretty standard for manufacturers to have a few small nicer things in the next trim level that cost them $500 but charge you $2-4k for them, and most people do.

[@captinbeyond]

Never understand the fascination and demand for the push button start. Was putting a key into an ignition all that much trouble? There are problems I've heard about regarding the push button start/fob: #1 many cases where car thieves intercept the signal and steal the cars easier and more often than ignitions with normal keys. #2 many cases where the batteries die in the fob and you can't even get in/out of the car much less start it #3 Many cases where folks have parked in their garage and thought the car was off only to have their house filled up with carbon monoxide and kill them. They fix a problem that did not exist.

So, with the the turbo engine in mind, would you still consider an Accord? I need to upgrade my vehicle badly. I currently drive an 05 accord with over 200,000 miles on it. Obviously, a lot has changed with the Accord since 05,. They’ve gone to CVT’s and turbo engines now, both are concerns of mine.

[@VamPieEeR]

@@sherrikwhiteside6107 Honestly, I wouldn’t. Honda engines when they had the normal 4 cylinders and V6s were just amazing. But now, not so much. Don’t get me wrong they are still reliable but not as reliable as they were. For me at least , I HATE these super small engines , they are loud when you need the power, they produce enough HP but you need to push them in order to get that and I don’t like that in a small engine. And don’t me get started on these CVT transmissions, I DONT like the feel nor the drive of these transmissions , I would prefer a normal geared transmission all day long. They just drive and feel way better than CVTs, at least in my experience.

I don't like that Toyota has gotten rid of the hood struts for a prop rod. The Camry has had hood struts since at least the 97 model.

Always wondering why entry level cars don't get all safety features standard? I know it costs more, but isn't safety paramount? Imagine if your entry level car had a choice of full brakes, or you could save money and buy 3/4 brakes? Sounds silly don't it?

[@novadhd]

yes it is due to cost most likely. Many of the safety bells and whistles are probably not really needed.

[@JesusIsLord7773]

what are these safety features you're talking about?

[@captinbeyond]

Many people seek out the low end models in order to not have all that safety crap on the car that only drives up the price and will constantly go bad needing to be repaired. Not everyone wants the car to drive/brake/steer/think for us while we drive.

“I can’t remember the last time I have reviewed a car without a start push button” For real 🙉

[@Knuckler]

Am I the only one that doesn't want push button starts?

[@richarddobson3138]

Push button start is available but it is way over rated..With very inexpensive radio receiving equipment, the codes that are sent between the smart key fob and the steering column can be intercepted..Once this is done your vehicle can be stolen.. From a Security standpoint this is not a good thing.. In addition the vast majority of Push Button systems fail within the first 5 years...Average repair cost is over 1000..Also the smartkey battery only lasts 1-2 years, compared with 5 years for a standard key with pushbutton entry..The standard key has an extra level of protection with a chip called a key immobilizer..Even if a key is cut exactly to fit the ignition perfectly, it must still have the exact immobilizer chip in order to start the car.. From a Security and Practicality standpoint, I'd take the regular key every time

[@hugojr5290]

And those fat edges around the grill also makes it look plump now, they would have been ok if they were thinner. The sleek simplicity of the SCI-FI-looking previous model was what made it pop and really stand out among all brands. And that new screen is just so un-elegant. It looks like some ugly kind of cheap afterthought-repair. It just sticks up like they do in all those cheap crap cars. And it breaks the design flow of the front panel. You can totally see where the front vents is designed to supposed to be behind the new screen... so the front panel has a badly interrupted design-flow now, unsexy.
