I bought a NEW CAR | Reveal, Customizations and Issues?

I Finally got my new car after a 3 month wait! In this video we will take a tour of the new car which my viewers have been guessing what it is as part of a reveal contest.
I am super happy with my new car purchase! First we will do some basic customizations to the new car to make it even better.
Then I'll do the first break in oil change at around 1000 miles.
Then I'll show you some things that are not great with it.
And last we'll take it for a quick test drive. Throughout the video I will share with the reasons why I got this car and not others. Hope you like it!
Special thanks to Jesse from JJs Automotive for tinting the car :

You mentioned back pain. One of the best things I ever did for my back pain was learning about inflamation and cutting back on the foods that cause it like sugar and processed meats. I think a lot of people wrongly believe they have arthtitis when what is really causing their joint pain is bad diet. And of course exercise helps too. Stenghthening up your core muscles relieves pressure on joints, and exercising purges muscles and joints of toxins. Congratulations on the new car.

[@InternetDude]

I have wicked joint pain. You are right that food does cause inflammation! Many diseases are simply too much inflammation.

[@Wire-Free]

Stretching; is so important!

[@valvodka]

Food only causes pain when you eat too much and are overweight. Chemically, there is nothing in the food causing joint pain. Toxins are not stored in joints and muscles. They constantly leave your body by normal cell functions or else you get real sick really fast and you will have bodily functions that get rid of them. Stop the Readers Digest science

[@babagandu]

Lack of vitamin D, magnesium, and others. Also, not eating fresh organic vegetables and fruits.

Congratulations ! I am impressed that you purchased a hybrid. I remember watching your video on Toyota hybrids and your compliments on that technology. Obviously you mean what you say and say what you mean ! I really enjoy all your videos and have learned so much from them. Please keep up the good work and enjoy your new ride !

[@jeschr3462]

A lot of people like to poke fun and look down on people that drive camrys but the camry is one of the best selling cars in America for a reason. Its reliable, spacious, comfortable, and fuel efficient. Its a very practical car. With these camry hybrids theyre even more fuel efficient and the interior/infotainment system of this XSE trim is decent. The exterior design is decent as well. Can't ever go wrong with the camry!

[@Mach141]

I must be the one person who appreciates old school prop rods. They never fail and never need replaced. Works just fine.

[@dlg5485]

Actually, they do fail. I've had it happen twice, most recently on my 2017 Suabru Impreza. The bracket that connects the rod to the cross member at the bottom broke clean thru. This time, I'm upgrading to a strut type prop.

[@CarlosGutierrez-qw6pr]

@@dlg5485 yeah some fail with it completely coming out of place... But they do not fail nearly as much as the hydraulics

[@myshots101]

I think they're okay but now it's worst because they put them on the wrong side. I'm use to putting them on the right side.

[@Aussieguy72]

They probably still use the prop rod for weight saving, one rod is lighter than 2 struts.

[@kenhoward3512]

I love those new hood struts to replace the prop rod - and that you took care to include all the part numbers. I appreciate that you recognize the value of changing the "break-in" oil at 1,000 miles, to remove any unwanted metallic particles (a LOT of people have been convinced there is absolutely no longer a need for a break-in period). I guess we'll have to accept some gasoline leaking into the crankcase oil from now on. Have fun with your factory-fresh and pretty Camry! 'Wing installation on the rear deck coming next?

[@CortMarshal]

@Jo Blow some people want their engine to last 8 years.

[@Lsutton04_]

The weird thing about the hood struts is my 2019 xse 4 cylinder has them but I’ve seen newer or same year xse models not have them and have prop rods.

[@ursus353]

I totally agree with you about the red interior. In 2018 when I was searching for a new Camry, I knew exactly what I wanted, a Peral-ized white XSE V-6 Moonroof, all the bells and whistles, and red interior. Well, I kept watching our local Toyota dealership website, and one finally showed up that had everything I wanted, except it had the black interior. I went to the dealership, test drove the car, and fell in love; although I really wanted the red interior, I bought it anyway. About a month after I bought the car, I was walking through a parking lot, and there was a new Camry just like mine, but, this one had the red interior, and to me, it stuck out like a sore thumb. In photos, the red interior looked good, in person, it was too overwhelming; I'm glad that mine has the black interior; it's over three years old now, and it's still the best car that I have ever owned, and that would be from a large list of cars dating back to the mid 70's.. One more thing, at first I also wanted the black roof, mine didn't come with it; I felt the tape line on another Camry and I noticed the sharp edge like you had mentioned; the dealership told me that they could paint the roof black for me; I told them no...

[@rightlanehog3151]

Merry Christmas AMD, Team CCN and Subscribers! Never, and I mean never, in world history has there been more suspense and excitement surrounding the purchase of a new ......Camry. AMD, from the tone of your voice I can sense how you agonized about the Avalon Hybrid (which was my guess) but I am still thrilled you put your money where your mouth is and bought the American-made and highly efficient Camry Hybrid instead. When The Most Famous Toyota Mechanic in the World™ buys the Hybrid model, you know they are the top choice. I just wish David from Automotive Press could have been there for the initial delivery inspection. Come to think of it, I am sure Toyota Jeff would have liked to cash the commission check for that new Camry ;-) Happy Trails. :D

As a side note, my sister has had two previous versions of the Camry hybrid (she also currently has a 2019 hybrid). She drives a lot more miles than I do; she said she will NEVER have any car other than a Camry hybrid. Believe me (and her), you won't be disappointed.👍

[@fizout]

Merry Christmas, Mr and Mrs Car Care Nut, and congrats on the new Camry! I was nitpicking about our used 2009 Venza having some unevenness at the intersection of the metal and plastic panels near the headlights, but now that you showed a brand new Camry with similar irregularities, maybe I can relax a little! Those details do bug me every time I see them. As for the hood prop, I actually like it because it's simple and mechanical and shouldn't ever need replacement nor cause worries about it falling on your head, but I get that it can be in the way sometimes. Good to know you can retro-fit the shocks, and glad you got it to be the way you like! Enjoy the new car! (and don't forget the e-brake ;) I'm surprised if it doesn't automatically deactivate)

Congratulations on the new car!! I really like it. At the close of your video, you pointed out a few fit and finish items that were not good. I agree with you and in particular the back bumper underneath is really unacceptable. I cannot imagine Toyota philosophy saying that this meets criteria. Not sue if other viewers feel the same but they should replace that part. I have a 2018 RAV 4 and the bumper as a similar rough edge which you cannot see if the hatch is closed. Every time i open it I SEE it. Previous Toyota's I had never showed such sloppiness. Looking forward to future installs and upgrade on this car !! Be Blessed.

[@canadian1233]

From someone who also lives in the RUST-BELT, do yourself a favor and get your car undercoated with WOOLWAX, it is the very best type of undercoating available right now. You have to get it re-applied every year because it stays in a soft semi-liquid form and thus gets washed off a bit from the water spray in some areas, but it stops 95% of the rust on a car (not 100%, but almost).

I travel for business and I don't fly anymore due to COVID-19, and my LE came with budget-friendly 16" steel wheels that takes lower price tires and absorbs more bumps compared to 17", 18", and 19" of course.

Yeah but not if you've been driving a s550 the Mercedes is way faster but not that great on gas

The 2.5 is awesome I have gasoline engine only on my RAV4 . I drove from Orillia Canada to Windsor Canada. I drove 110 km on the dynamic cruise control . I averaged 5.7 to 6.3 per 100 kms and on 1 full tank and I filled and still had 8 litres left . That’s going there and back . That’s how many kms . Love your show. God bless you too

Congrats on the new car! I'd recommend picking up a 3M film protection kit for front end paint and headlights.

[@naveenthemachine]

How much does it cost? Does it prevent scratches?

[@davedave2109]

@@naveenthemachine I have the expel kit on the front of my Venza. I'm in Canada. To cover the entire front was about $800. I would spend it again in a second. No scratches bugs come off easier overall, although expensive well worth the cost if you plan to keep the vehicle

[@joeotto775]

@naveenthemachine I live in Ontario and it cost me around 800 to have my hood, front fenders, mirrors and roof (small strip between sunroof and windshield) done on my 2020 xse camry at a toyota/Lexus dealer. It will definitely preserve the paint and protect from scratches but more importantly stone chips. Stone chips are actually so bad because a rock literally hits your car so hard it can remove paint right down to the metal then instantly rust! 3m clear film on the front end is a great way to avoid any damage. Also you can't see it unless you're looking for it unlike those dorky bug deflectors. Hope this helps!

[@mattb9664]

The precut front end kits are about $300 for the 'best' level, and $250 for the 'better' level. I also installed the front roof and a-pillars kit. It's superior at prevent scratches and rock chips. I installed 1-2 pieces after work each day for a week until it was done..I'd give myself a 95% on the install quality while avoiding particles and bubbles. The only con I can think of is that it's a maintenance wear item, and probably needs replacement every couple years as the rock chips on the film start to accrue. Don't settle for the Toyota optioned 3" strip of film on the hood that costs $400...

[@daniellel256]

If you decide to do this I recommend going to Chicago Auto Pros. I had them do my 2020 4Runner. So happy with the results. PPF film on the front and ceramic coating on the rest. Congratulations on the new car. Love the white. On a side note, disappointed the 2020 SR5 Premium didn’t come with blind spot monitor, climate control and soft close on the lift gate. My 2003 SR5, which is my daily driver, has climate control and soft close.

Congratulations on your new car It’s quite a difference driving a 4 cylinders/hybrid vs the power of an S550 specially if you have turbos Happy holidays to you and your family

[@adorolivar1340]

Many thanks AMD for this video especially the struts and wireless car play. I'm here in AU and ordered my Camry hybrid in March bur with ETD between Nov-Dec...I may add struts as well

[@brucewayne2773]

Having purchased a 2021 Prius Prime( made in Japan) in white with all the rebates and incentives was an easy decision for me. Fit and finish is great. I remembered buying a brand new 2016 Honda Odyssey EX-L and found a lot of flaws in it, hated it so much I sold it back to the dealer 3 months later.

[@alvinsimba734]

What kind of flaws you found?

[@brucewayne2773]

@@alvinsimba734 Multiple paint flaws that most buyers would be clueless about, rear brake pads literally falling apart, this is after 2000 miles, Honda dealer had to fix all the issues. However the bottom line, it was an ugly van to begin with, and even the new generation is ugly also.

I thought for sure it was going to be a fully loaded avalon hybrid, but a camry will suit you nicely too I think.

[@horsepowerauthority3389]

such a beautiful choice, this generation camry is work of art, design, engines, spec, considerable amount of fun and more important is reliable. waiting for your coolant change video by the service mode, keep up the great work and have a nice day
