When Hafriz does not wear a suit, it means the car he is reviewing is not premium or classy enuff.

[@petemorbius3936]

he just sold his cclass la, left his suit in it;)

[@mafizization]

Yes..

[@jim5159]

for camry we dont need too much power or fast pick up, reliability and comfort more important. so its ok nice

[@suann9407]

Finally I'm afford to buy the 2010 version

[@alvinsonj1798]

This video is now a year and a half old. Just found it. Am popping in to say it is very well done and I am subscribing to the channel. It is hard to find fault in a Camry and this reviewer's criticisms are well placed and fair. Well done.👍

[@joshmin68]

But, but Scott Kilmer said this engine will last for eternity 😆

[@honguenloh4612]

Yes we know you have a Mercedes lol

[@fadhilahdieyla52]

Nice car. New engine definitely will cost more than RM200k. But i think RM190k is too expensive.

[@omarmahari]

I drive a Lexus ES250 and I believe this camry uses the same engine and transmission. Indeed the fuel consumption is good for its size and yes, my girlfriend’s BMW 320i uses more fuel. There’s something about small turbocharged engine that doesn’t reflect its small displacement.

[@honguenloh4612]

omarmahari agreed

@@westdoor6280 Good news to Volkswagen. Passat stands a chance in this segment. Who would foolishly get a 2.5 (insane road tax). Rather get a 2.0 Passat. Plus get far better performance, pickup, acceleration and drive fun plus handling.

[@THEAC83]

I live in Australia and I have the SL V6 version. You guys are unlucky that you don’t get the V6 model as it is so powerful.

[@ziriki1991]

Tax bracket mate! Plus, we don't need a V6 in Malaysia. It's not economically feasible if they launch it here. Just my 2 cents.

[@brandonczw]

We have taxes based on engine capacity, a sedan with a 3.5l engine would cost MYR6000+ a year, or around 2000 AUD.

[@THEAC83]

Minzhi Wong that sucks! We don’t have a tax bracket on our cars. But we also have the open roads and things are a lot further away so it makes sense that you don’t have a V6 version.

[@nathanhadland1483]

I also live in Aus and I recently bought the 3.5L V6 SX. A very beautiful car, but I have family in Malaysia and it costs way to much to have car that are over 2L. Even their 4WD have 2L lol

[@YouCCP2]

Engine will larger capacity has larger carbon footprints. Should use turbo like CRV 1.5 or hybrid

[@boy638]

Thailand gets the latest engine, & with this assembled in Thailand & yet Toyota Malaysia went the extra effort to stick with the old engine just to save a few bucks. Shame.

[@billybob1511]

Australia too stuck with the old engine. Unless you go for the V6 or Hybrid.

[@kheekuanchen1280]

Totally agreed, let alone the high price tag it’s asking compared to its closest competitors

[@reezarashid2004]

I hope Toyota would consider using the 2.0 turbo engine in this new Camry.. that chassis is crying out for more power and torque.

[@mykchancy]

The engine and transmission is not Toyota Japan's problem,its more to do with Toyota Malaysia ,they wanna reduce cost and by keeping the old engine and transmission, they get to service the car easily,but for customers.......they miss out on the fun of the continental cars

[@jetdin9400]

cant wait for the dynamic force engine

[@JviperS2]

Why compare the new camry against merc & bmw when the actual competition is the Mazda 6?

[@paultanautonews]

We didn't compare it with BMWs and Mercs. Only mentioned that it has a few features that are missing in premium brands such as BMW, while the Merc C-Class consumption mention is merely a real world benchmark for turbo engines (they weigh about the same).

[@Jim-fo2sr]

Mazda has said their new benchmark for handling is actually the new Camry no longer BMW.

[@joshmin68]

20 years ago yes a typical uncle would be driving this car but nowadays a person that qualify as an uncle are mostly tech savvy being born in the late 60s and 70s so this is a car for the modern uncles 😆

[@JustinHor]

Hi, from your video this Red Mica looks like Maroon. But from brochures and images on the net, it looks more gloss red. Which is which?

[@anandsamy5194]

Still 6 speed better than Accord 5 speed. Hope UMW bring in hybrid and 2.0 with CKD. Then can see more camrys in Malaysia.

10km/l is a lie. that's the 700 km average. i bet you drove on highways mostly. it's struggling to even achieve 6km/l in city, as the engine is a carry-over from the previous gen.

[@hafrizshah4937]

Marc S It was mixed conditions, highways plus city traffic. Anyway it was the same conditions that I would get around 8-9 km/l in my C300, so it's a fair comparison. If you're driving in the city exclusively, then yes 6 km/l sounds about right. But a small capacity turbo engine would do even worse, trust me.

[@waterkeng]

City easily 10km/litre and highway 13-15km/litre. But Ron 97 la. Real fact as Im driving one.

[@quijr816]

@@waterkeng octane rating has no effect on fuel consumption

[@felixlaupc]

The FC is very poor in fact. My 2015 Mazda 6 2.5L highway and city mixed conditions driving i can get about 12km/l easily. If you're talking about pure highway cruising, 14-15km/l is easily attainable.

Hey Paul great review. Out of interest how does the refinement compare to your w205 C-Class? Interesting you mentioned that you can buy the C-Class for under 200k with discount? In Australia the C-Class is about twice the price of the Camry low spec car.

[@muhammadalqayyum7125]

Richard in Malaysia a camry is marketed as an executive sedan targeted to businesses to be used by top executives as a company car..the car itself is chauffeured by some owners...toyota here is quite different than in other market as we have premium models to compete with the entry level luxury german cars such as Toyota alphard/vellfire toyota estima toyota harrier toyota mark x and etc...price wise its quite expensive for RM190K as u can get a bmw 3 series for than price and yes it is weird due to the government insane tax on cars...for RM190k u can actually get a base model mercedes e class in the US...so basically those who can afford a camry are actually those from middle class or upper middle class family ...
