Pros: - Comfort: Ride quality is really cushy. Great visibility with the wing mirrors and sloped down windows
- Drive: Controls (brake, steering) have natural feeling weight, and it now takes a corner with some liveliness! There's definitely some directness and connectedness - doesn't feel a sloppy couch that's rolling over itself like past Camrys.
- Electronics: Headlights are fuck you bright, 2019 has Carplay.
Cons: - Powertrain: The 8 speed is quite jerky especially when cold.
- Interior has some weird cost cutting tradeoffs as well (full auto up-down windows, but no heated mirrors until XLE trim, no trunk closing handle, etc.)
Quite like they've done with the new gen Camry. Would want to drive a 10G Accord and 2.5T Mazda 6 to see how it compares. |
Congratz on the new purchase! How's the 8 speed auto on your new Camry? I heard people are having problems with it, like it being super jerky almost like a DCT at low speed and gear hunting at hwy speed. Have you driven the 2015 to 2017 Camry? How does it compare?
New accord is nice too, but it has a 1.5 turbo with CVT, scared of long term reliability.
Mazda 6 has nice interior and exterior with the 6 speed auto, but long term reliability hasn't been proven, plus you just don't see them on the road, imagine when your car breaks down and you need parts for repair.
So now from a reliability standpoint, the newest car with the most reliable drivetrain is the 2017 Camry which I have been hunting down, tried and true 2.5L port injection engine with 6 speed auto, and also no toyota safety sense. I really hate those.
