Bad cars- tinny turbo engines

[@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch]

The thing nobody ever mentions about 16" rims is you'll get better mpg, lower NVH, less tire wear, and better ride comfort. Large rims creates more problems than it solves. This is coming from someone who used to hop up Civics back in the day. Oh yeah, you also get worse acceleration

16s used to be huge back in the day 😂 also less likely to get stolen, cheaper tires

My mom bought a 2024 Camry, and I’m ngl I’m beyond jealous. The exterior and interior are so clean, the sound system slaps, and for an economy car it’s take off speed is not that bad at all. I’ve had my eyes set on a Benz A class for a while now, but the Camry definitely has me going back and forth.

[@JesusGonzalez-ve1if]

Definitely get the Camry, the A-Class is just a Renault engine underneath, if you aren't getting an AMG or an E-Class it isn't a true Benz!

[@sammyjammy6647]

The only thing I’m not sold on is the horsepower and torque. For example, I regularly take a toll road near my house that has a 6% incline grade. I know when i had a RAV4 hybrid which has the same torque as this 2025 Camry, it struggled to go up it. I had to have my foot heavy on the gas and I felt like I was hurting it. lol. That’s why I switched to a 2023 V6 Camry and it’s been smooth sailing up that hill since

[@munday]

That's because the v6 camry have 267tq which is 104tq more than the hybird which is rated at 163tq

[@kellyaustin7487]

Sonata, K5, Charger, all can get you up that hill with no problem lol.

[@jml9550]

I have a 2017 Lexus ES350 and my wife has a new Lexus NX350h. The V6 will beat the hybrid going uphill all day everyday. But MPG sucks on the V6. I would sell my ES350 as soon as the new gen Lexus ES hybrid arrives.

[@TripleBerg]

That laugh told the whole story 😂

[@alengreen589]

this one and the facelifted Sonata 👍

[@thinhho7050]

I'm sorry but is there head up display? I dont see it in the video. Maybe on different trim?

[@Fadic4]

I think the Accord hybrid does 0-60 in ~6.6 but I would rather have AWD. Let’s see if Honda updates it with AWD in a few years.

[@tinhinnh]

is this powertrain is like a detuned one found in the crown/highlander, etc..?

[@michaelhawkins5530]

The increased weight of the AWD sytem will mostly offset any HP increase from a speed perspective. I wonder if the vehicle indicates when the rear wheels become engaged such as with an indicator light?

[@johnathanalbert3762]

[@lharb704]

CVTs generally don't bother me much. They're a little bit noisy under full acceleration but so are autos. There's a little bit of a delay almost like turbo lag when you nail the accelerator but it's worth it for the MPGs. Handling and refinement are what I'm looking for. I can't wait to test drive one of the 25s.

Most car buyers in my area will be buying either the LE or SE Camrys. Cars have gotten so expensive that the lower trims will sell. Our local Toyota dealer does not keep XLE and up on their lot. These demo reviews are not the cars that will sell. I just want to get from point A to point B in a well made car that I don’t have to sell a kidney for.
