@carconfections Great video like always! Just wondering, did you get the employee pricing on your Camry since your dad works for Toyota?

[@Games.on.the.ipad12]

Let's keep this in mind: "Please carconfections do the 2024 Toyota Corolla Sedan and the 2025 Toyota Corolla sedan" please 🙏 😊

[@athena4109]

Thank you! Would love to see you try it with kids booster seats in the back can you fit three across?

[@macaron3141592653]

Heated seats and keyless entry being available on the base trim is such a win and so extremely rare to see in the industry.

[@joshua9073]

I think about all cars have heated seats on their lower trims and keyless entry too.

[@mitchellshareratleast100su7]

I’d say for me personally I think the xle is my favorite trim level because it cost a little less than the xse and I prefer the more luxe theme than sporty

[@mitchellshareratleast100su7]

And the xle has the best luxury value

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Agreed!!!!

[@thebig12conference73]

I tend to agree with you it cost a little bit more but it’s nicer but I prefer the base Lexus ES 350 the price difference between the XLe and the ES 350 is not as much as you think about 4000😊 iPhone for Toyota Camry and currently on a 2015 Ellie honestly I would get the Ellie and save the money because it’s 27,000 versus 34,000 and you can later on for two to $3000 add leather seats if you want

[@blackgold754]

Aren’t XLE and xse literally rhe same but with xse just having sports design?

[@thebig12conference73]

@@blackgold754 pretty much the same thing the excess is a little bit more sportier but some say the XL is a little bit more comfortable on long rides I think the XL has nicer leather seats

[@patwickgriff]

Test drove a 2025 Camry LE FWD today and came away impressed. First thing that surprised me is how comfortable the front cloth seats are. It was like sitting in a super cushy Lazy Boy recliner. They were cushy and very supportive at the same time. Car drove smoothly.

[@tails300]

They listened to previous Gen owners, the cloth seats on 8 Gen LE (gas and hybrid) were reportedly stiff and hard.

I really do like the new Camry, but all those different packages to choose from would leave my head spinning. Currently have a 2018 Honda Accord touring that came with ventilated seats and HUD. Going to keep it, but the Camry really is intriguing.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Love your car video

[@cerny4444]

Some people live in areas where there are far more buyers than vehicles available so all you master negotiators paying less than MSRP are fortunate and I’m happy for you. If I don’t pay MSRP I don’t get a car or have to travel out of state for one. I know there are some, not all, people are paying under MSRP but they coincidentally are financing vs paying cash, and are paying that reduced price back in interest.

[@joshua9073]

I’m in Oklahoma and the dealer took $2300 off and threw in window tint and all weather mats and a cargo organizer. I financed with Toyota for 24 months @ 5.25% on July 2nd but I have cash saved to pay it off. I sent $8000.00 to principal yesterday plus first payment. I’ll probably pay it off in September. My money is making a lot more in stocks. And having some revolving credit is good. My other assets and cars are paid off.

[@thepriusgod]

I'm hoping this car performs better than last years model in the updated side and moderate overlap tests. Safety is everything, especially if you have children.

[@joshua9073]

It does. I just bought mine on the 2nd

[@Newday-crmy]

Pay attention to # 5. I paid $2455 off MSRP. Two package SE. You need a serious down payment. Especially when negotiating your %.

[@dee4435]

I just decided this morning I wanted a new Camry for the first time ever. Great timing.

[@joshua9073]

Same for me 2 weeks ago and I bought it.

[@baldheadlogic]

Great choice. Looking forward to your future tests. I hope Toyota adds the memory seat option to more trim options

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Yeah we think they should have memory seats on both XLE and XSE at least

[@baybae92]

If this does well on the IIHS moderate overlap, it’ll be my next vehicle. (CX5 Turbo if not).

[@robertforrester4019]

I like the 2024 front end better, don't like the catfish look. But one could get used to it. I have a le 2024 and it has the great lakes package heated seats steering wheel heated mirrors, it's more then I need. Cheers from northern indiana usa

Toyota is doing right by this car. Many features available even to the base model and if it want more luxury then you can step up. Pricing is really good. Hopefully it's just as reliable as the previous model that wasn't a hybrid.

Car confections, we have a 2024 Audi Q5 premium TFSI Quattro S line. But what car should we choose next?

Are the seats comfortable for long trips and how are the brakes with this new gen hybrid ?

[@robertl6319]

I test drove an se and the lumbar support was horrible. It was like the plastic was pushing in my back and the salesman felt it also. A deal breaker. I wonder if the xle has a better seat. I could tell it didn’t have much cushion in the lumbar area. Make sure you test out the seat before purchasing there isn’t enough padding.

[@CarConfections]

We felt the same thing! Hopefully, it will break in with use

[@threadoflife]

I just put my deposit down for my 2025 Camry XSE AWD fully loaded exact spec black interior, with the two tone roof wind chill Pearl white. I’m super stoked! 360 degree camera, pano roof, heated and ventilated seats, jbl premium audio. The only one I’ve been able to find in the nation with every option and color I wanted. Thoughts should I buy? Ya or nay? Why or why not? I’m genuinely interested in people’s opinions on longevity, price/value/features & resale value residual in the future? I think it will be a fantastic long term car.

I may go with the new 2025 Camry, but I may give it a year before I do so. AWD + Hybrid standard, and overall very reliable is a positive. People may not like how the front looks, but I've seen it in person and it looks much nicer in person.

[@seethingsclearlyawaken3424]

I would love to buy a 2025 Camry XSE, but absolutely refuse to have a full glass roof! I do want the XSE though. I like the interior better, also the wheels on the XSE versions. I don't want a sun-roof at all, I want a solid metal roof. Yet, Toyota is charging the customer for the glass roof, $1300! What? It's an "uption"? Yes, an UPTION! Uption= Up-Charge, No-choice-option! They charge you for the option that you don't even want or need. I will probably have to settle for an S.E. version, since one can purchase an S.E. without a sunroof. It seems like a really lame thing that Toyota has recently started doing to their customers....screwing them.
