3 Things I HATE About My Camry XSE V6

I love my Camry. But there’s a lot of little things that I definitely don’t love about it. In this video I go into a bit more depth about what those things are while still keeping it brief and simple. I hope you guys enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments.

Nice video. I have a 2021 Camry XSE V6 and your points are spot on. Overall, it’s a great daily car with good power.

[@DLCarReviews]

Yeah exactly I love it so much there’s just those little quirks haha

[@joecarpio9811]

I have one and added a Boria exhaust the sound is amazing.The entertainment system is very hard to replace with a aftermarket system.But I love my Camry

[@DLCarReviews]

I’ve considered doing that how much did it cost you to replace it? And yeah the entertainment system I’ll just deal with forever haha

[@joecarpio9811]

The total cost with installation was 3100 and that’s here in Connecticut.Good luck

[@Hunzaterapter]

@@joecarpio9811 3100???? I paid 1850 after tax for my borla and then just had my mechanic friend install it for some chicken nuggets from mickey d's. How much was labor??? (not saying you're lying or anything, that's just so much)

Love these vids about your camry. Excited about the 2025 camry

[@DLCarReviews]

Thank you so much! I’ll try to keep posting more about it! And if you could share it with your friends that would be amazing if you haven’t already

[@999lone5]

All of the things you say are true but not bothering. The rattling you say, i only get affected by it when i turn on my a.c to defrost the windows. As of exhaust, i needed something that gave the vehicle more air flow, which motivated me to buy a Borla Cat-back exhaust. Every time i press the gas, the sound the vehicle makes is really satisfying to my ears. Not only do i have more power, but i also have a nice sounding vehicle.

[@DLCarReviews]

This is an awesome comment! Yeah i think the rattling is different for everyone because of different builds in different places and sounds like your exhaust is dope! Thank you for your feedback and comment!

[@jahmanborneo1343]

Features in a car are subjective based on what you come from. I went from a 2010 Camry to my 2023 XSE V6. The jump in tech was mind blowing. Also, build quality, it's a Camry. You want silence, buy Lexus. I've not had any of the issues you've had. So, not all issues will be universal. You've got to remember what you bought, a Camry. Not a Lexus. Also, you don't really sound like a true "car guy". Anyone who knows, knows you're not gonna get a deep growl from any V6. You've put too a high of expectations while at the same time acknowledging it's "just a Camry".

I have this as a 2020. This V6 is the best V6 you’re ever gonna have, and it sucks they’re fading it out. I don’t think I’m ever gonna get rid of mine, and you also shouldn’t. That engine will outlast all of us, as long as you take care of it. It sounds exactly like a V6 should sound. It’s not a V8 with exhaust. You should consider keeping this car forever, because you’ll never get that engine again. This is the perfect sedan. Don’t get rid of it.

[@DLCarReviews]

It is such an amazing car! And yeah it’s gonna last forever! Thank you so much for the comment and yeah I’m gonna keep this car forever!

Unfortunately the build quality issues are limited to non-Japanese built models like the ones in the US and China. My Japanese built Camry has the build quality of a mini-Lexus. Its flawless.

I should’ve checked before getting it haha but i appreciate the heads up for everyone else!

[@humanresources2138]

How do you get the Japanese built model?

[@ksd9756]

@@humanresources2138 You will have to import one from Europe. But they get only the LE and XLE. The middle East like Dubai or Saudi is another option.

[@declanmckeown323]

I considered one. But ended up going with a used gs350 awd. I love it, better than the Camry in every way other than maybe 1 or 2 MPG lower and requiring premium gas. AWD is great for all the snow where I live and overall its just a great car

[@DLCarReviews]

Oh yeah that’s a great choice! Thank you so much for sharing that!

[@AG-yv8yb]

Great honest feedback. We have a 23 xse 4cyl awd..now I'm looking to trade my 21 accord 2 liter 10 speed in for a 24 v6 xse..how are the cooled seats? Also do you feel it has enough pep to get in and out on highway?

[@DLCarReviews]

So unfortunately my camry doesn’t have cooled seats but our Lexus does and i figure they’re similar and the ones on the Lexus are pretty good! And yup it has more than plenty of pep to get you in and out of the highway it’s for sure one of my favorite parts about this car!

[@justahumbledude]

On build quality: I have the same gripes. Thought my car was substandard. Good to know it's consistently bad lol

[@DLCarReviews]

Haha yup all of us camry owners are in this together 😂😂

[@jeffreyfurtado3681]

Overall, it is not build quality on rattles. Toyota doesn't put enough insulation in the interior. Complain about it at the dealership.

[@Makingwaves_123]

When I did my car shopping almost 2 years ago, I was actually looking at TRD Camry along with the Accord 2.0T. When I test drove the Camry, it had the same rattles and the small details you mentioned and I wasn't a fan of the center screen without wireless carplay which the Accord Sport 2.0T I was looking at did had. Went with the Accord because of interior and the dealer took off like 2k off MSRP for the Accord and the TRD Camry they added some stuff which added to almost 40k (Some dealer accessory)

[@DLCarReviews]

Honda definitely makes some really good cars I’m glad that you made the right decision for you!

[@jacobjuers]

I have the XSE AWD. I had so many annoying interior panel and dash raddles that I started taking them apart to add sound deadening material. Different panels make noise depeding on how cold it is outside too. Also thinking about trying a wireless carplay adapter.

[@DLCarReviews]

How long did it take you to take it all apart and how much did it cost? That’s also genius I’ll probably get on of those wireless carplay adapters

[@jacobjuers]

Maybe 10 min to take off all the door panels. It's faster with a trim removal tool and a power drill. About the same for part of the passenger side dash that was vibrating. Maybe $40. I used boom mat tape, foam tape, and felt

[@TrentonTruong]

Me too lol. I have a 2020 Camry SE and there's a little rattle that I can never seem to pinpoint where it is coming from. It pisses me off every time I go on the highway lmao

[@alberto6934]

@@TrentonTruongI have the same issue just got my new Camry 2 weeks ago and it makes the same noise and I can’t pin point exactly where it’s from lol still love the car rides smooth fast enough GREAT on gas and looks good!

[@iBike2Live]

Oh! That’s so frustrating to spend more than thirty Grand only to find numerous noises and rattles! I paid less than HALF of that on my preowned Lexus ES and it still has zero issues, noises, squeaks, rattles, or anything to repair (other than normal maintenance). None. True, It’s not as exciting to look at, granted, but oh how I hate paying for repairs or issues. Something to consider?

[@XSE-tk8ej]

I have a 2022 Camry XSE V6 with 18,000 miles. My car rattles as well. I put foam strips between the rear glass and rear deck to help with the JBL subwoofer rattle. I also had rattles and sticky adhesive sounds coming from the headliner around the panoramic sunroof. The dealership inserted foam and felt pieces between the headliner and roof and it has helped tremendously. My hood also visibly flutters while on the highway - I was told it was normal due to it being a lightweight aluminum hood. I love the looks of my Camry, especially the two tone appearance and blackout package, but I am disappointed with the build quality. I expected more from Toyota.

[@DLCarReviews]

Thank you for this comment it’s actually super informative and helpful!

[@edwardeidinger8235]

The trd exhausts sounds amazing borla makes a cat back exhaust for the Camry that sounds really good check out KZbin video on that.

[@DLCarReviews]

Thank you so much for the advice brotha!

[@richscott2483]

The Woobly Hood. Maybe since I removed the Hood Prop Stick and installed Lift Supports with air going under or along the side of the hood prevents that bouncy fluctuating or ripple like appearance. I also installed a Front Top Strut Brace by BracerOne Performance to cut down Body Roll but with new cars there should not be any body roll but could be preventing front frame stress making the front sturdier. There is a whole lot of thin cheap rubber stripping used on the Camry hood, trunk, and doors. Also, the Panoramic Roof is made cheap but I always keep it closed since I don't use it just like I never used any of the Sun/Moon Roofs in 3 previous vehicles, also the shade stays shut too.. I know the Camry TRD does not get a sunroof but the Camry TRD was made wrong and it sux to begin with.

[@DLCarReviews]

Thank you for the comment once again! You always give very insightful and helpful comments which I highly appreciate!

If you’re not in a rush getting a new car, wait for the 2025 Camry (unfortunately only available in hybrid, though if I’m not mistaken)

[@999lone5]

​@stephenhuang8016 only issue with new generation vehicles is that they are new and not everything that the vehicle has will be mastered. Think of it like a remaster to a video game. It's still great but when it's remastered, it's pretty much flawless.

[@stephenhuang8016]

@@999lone5 you are absolutely correct on this one. I totally forgot it’s gonna be the new gen of Camry 😕

[@999lone5]

@stephenhuang8016 Yeah, I had the choice of buying a new 24 or 23, but the dealer guy gave me the pros and cons of both. For one. 23 are gonna be the last time they make them V6, and after that, they'll be hybrids. I have no issue with hybrids, but I prefer my car to run on gas 100% of the time.

[@Voldemort318]

Ive heard that the xle version is a more softer ride is that true?

[@TrentonTruong]

Yes, the LE and XLE have a softer ride than the SE and XSE because they tuned the suspension differently. I got my 2020 Camry in the SE trim, which is definitely stiffer than I would prefer. If I could go back in time, I would have purchased the LE or XLE instead

[@DLCarReviews]

Yeah i believe they have a bit more focus on sport for the XSE and SE whereas they have more of a focus on luxury for the LE and XLE!
