2012 Toyota Camry SE Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive 

I've actually owned and daily driven a 2012 Camry for well over 5 years and I should say, I've put the car through all driving conditions, the good and the bad. I've travelled with the car alot, drove it in the city, very hot weather, even drove it uphills sometimes. I should say impressive! The car literally proved itself. I'd choose it over any other brand anyday! Ofcourse you don't expect it to be the most luxurious, the best looking, the fastest and and and.... But driving this car and having the satisfaction that it will get me reliably and safely from point A to point B and give me a very good mpg, plus extra comfort and roomy interior with the best AC system is all I am looking for. Plus in my personal opinion, it is better looking than accords, fusions, altimas, sonatas etc... There is absolutely no reason to hate on this car. Interior made of plastic? So what? Is that what matters the most in cars? If you are looking for high quality interiors, then go and spend millions to buy Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Maybachs etc. This is a poor review honestly. Instead of fetching for all negative features, maybe focus more about the positives?

2 yrs with my 2014 Camry. Drives like the first day. Also knowing that I can go over 200k miles with it, is my biggest satisfaction.

Might still be the best Camry ever made almost 8 years later

does this guy work for honda ? he seem to find negative with almost everything about the car

I recently rented a 2014 Camry SE for about a week and I was thoroughly impressed. The interior was large and roomy, the cabin was quiet, the four cylinder performed at least like a six cylinder, it felt luxurious and sporty, and best of all, I got 27 mpg in the city. I am considering purchasing one myself. If you're in the market, you should definitely give the Camry SE a very close look.

I’m a Honda fan but the Camry is bulletproof. Reliability is key.

I still always feel that people judge the Camry pretty harshly...

I have a 2012 Camry V6 SE and I love it.

I love the 2012 Camry my family has. Gets me wherever I need to go. Also, you can also change gears in Sport Mode via gear knob. This car's a keeper for sure.

1:45 that dent

Camry over Honda or Fusion any day.

In my opinion, this generation in the SE trim is the best looking Camry to date.

I love how informative these videos are,

They thankfully improved the interior quality for the 13 and 14 year. I have a 2012 Se v6, and I sat in a 14' Se v6 at the pittsburgh auto show and I was happy to see much better interior qualities. I would love to see you do a review on a v6 camry just to see what you think of the engine (I love it)

Quit hatin on the camry u honda lover

Almost all days you upload vids i like that :)

I had a 2012 Camry LE 4 cylinder as a loaner for a couple of days. Loved it and did not want to give it back! I found it responsive in steering and acceleration. And it felt like I was driving a smaller car and NOT the boat-like feeling of some midsize cars. The only drawbacks were the zero steering feedback and more road noise than one would expect. Toyota does tend to equip their new cars with less than stellar tires, so I don't know if a set of quieter tires would alleviate the road noise issue.

I love this gen Camry and the new 2018 one. On my 2012 4cyl SE with only Nav gets 32.1mpg. And the stock 6 speakers sound amazing especially with HD radio on, and the speakers get boomy at the highest bass setting which I like. Plus it surprisingly handles well. I can attack freeway on-ramp loops at 35-40mph and the car stays stable, and I only have the standard 17 inch SE rims.

i Got the 2014 toyota camry and I love it!

We actually do have a lot of respect for the Toyota brand in general. They are currently turning a lot of their products around and we are very impressed with some of them.

The current Camry is much improved over the previous generation, however if you want a family sedan that is really on the sporty side, we'd recommend checking out the Altima, Accord, Fusion, or Mazda6 instead. Thanks for watching :)

I have a 2013 SE in grey with black rims and tinted windows. Got it for my first car thats mine and bought it myself. I love it. Think it's a great blend between the old cars and the newer cars. It feels very sporty compared to the first car me and my brother shared.

Did you guys in the US get the 3 spoke steering wheel in the 6th generation Camrys? Because the only model over here which had the 4 spoke wheel which was the GLX (XLE) Nice review

Some of the things you were looking for such as a blind spot monitor system as well as better interior quality have been addressed in the 2013 model year line. I own a 2012 camry se v6 and I completely agree with all the points. It's still a fantastic car to own though.

I have it and I love it. Excellent vehicle with pretty less compline.

Smart key access was an option on the SE too. The only option you can’t get on the SE that you can on the XLE is dual zone automatic climate control. That feature, up until 2018, was limited to, and sold as standard, on the XLE, XSE, and hybrid trims of the car.

I have an xle kind of camry and the same thing. Only the driver window is fully automatic

Can you please do a review on a Kia Forte lx? Your reviews are awesome

I want this same car, but only with the V6 Engine, I don’t really like the 4 cylinder

Just bought this car today for my first car

That 2.5L 2AR-FE gets up and goes. Has a a lot of power for a 4-cylinder and makes good noises. I have the 2010 model LE with the 2.5L and it gets up and goes as good as this Camry. Has power on the highway.

I remember my 06 Rav 4 sport jbl audio upgrade power sunroof it was red I had the chrome side steps not really useable lol but it gave it the look I was aiming for had 20 inch racing rims everyone loved it and thought it was brand new 🤷🏽‍♂️ brought it with 77k I let it go with about 108k still ran brand new and looked and smell brand new inside !

what do you think are the top 3 in the class? I know Accord for sure its a great car

Sofyan, would you rather a Passat over this? And a Camry XLE V6 or Passat SEL V6?

i traded i my 2011 LE for a 2013 SE a month ago and its like night and day. the interior quality is 110% improved and its much more fun to drive and willing to take corners (though its no BMW of course). i love it. if anyone is considering getting one, i recommend getting it in white since it contrasts nicely with the black interior.

Just recently got a used 2012 SE with 71,500 miles on it from an auction

I have been watching videos from this channel for a while and I believe this reviewer did not give a very fair comments on the cars he took the video. He has a very strong negative bias towards any Toyota cars and loves the Honda/Mazda products. I have both driven 2012 Camry and Accord, in terms of quietness and ride quality, 2012 Accord is much worse than the 2012 Camry.

I love my 09 camry fresh paint and some different rims (black) body paint red people luv seeing me come thru

Im V-6 Camry. Is there anyway you can test that model?

This gentleman has been reviewing cars for a decade! Respect!

You should've done the V6 review for this car... it blows the doors off any other car in its class for its year. The V6 for this model year was quick as heck

In your opinion is this quieter or the ford focus?

That's the nature of a review, no car is perfect.

Does the 2012 Toyota Camry XLE have a CVT Transmission? I am asking because I want to add LUCAS fluid to the transmission because of a shutter I am experiencing at about 45mph. Car has 165k miles. Please advise. Thank you so much. Be well. JC

great video dood, i like the last gen way better haha it looks sexier hellaflushed

Can the stereo system use an android model phone to access all that it offers ?

My grade was an "A". It was an intro computer course that was one of our requirements as a freshman in college.

we suspect that the tires are out of balance and need to be rotated

Hi again does the noises inside camry are too loud?! as it is in Hyundai Sonata 2011?!

Thank you!

Love this body style

I may buy a Camry someday! I currently drive a 2007 Nissan Altima that I've had for 3 years now, fun & sporty car, but its had a few big problems such as the CVT being replaced with only 54k miles! It also has some electronic problems here & there such as some of the radio buttons not working correctly & the radio display fading when it's hot outside. I previously drove a 2006 Corolla for 5 1/2 years & didn't have a single problem! Definitely going back to Toyota!

Hey, what is the possibility of a review on a Suzuki Kizashi?

Camry is most driven car by the uberx drivers in New York including me.its a great car for family and business. Camry is better ride than accord it was complimented by passengers.

So all that LCD screen is just for radio? no GPS and rear camera?

Wow, that dash is SHINY...does it come like that or did someone bathe it in Armor All?

The biggest reason these cars are amazing is that your average DIY'er can do everything with these tanks, the 2AR-FE engine will easily get to 300k+ miles with regular maintenance and also the U760E transmission will get the job done for the same amount of miles without any trouble with regular maintenance. An overall gem in the current vehicle market because of its durability and overall looks. My current 2011 Camry with the same specs is at 250k miles with absolutely no issues whatsoever. I do my own routine maintenance and she drives like new!

Are you planning to test out an FR-S anytime soon?

When I was a student I use to work as a security guard I use to drive this as our patrol car It really made me appreciate my 05 accord

What car do you drive now?

All Toyota Camrys from 2012- 2016 284k to be exact had defective torque converters from the factory. I had one torque converter blew and dealer refused for months to replace it. Lied repeatedly and said my car was not involved. They finally replaced the torque converter but refused to replace the tranny that was damaged by the torque converter. First and last Camry. Went back to Accord and couldn't be happier.

One time I had to do a Power Point presentation for a class and I ended up doing it on my opinion of various cars. I described the Toyota as an "appliance" and my teacher goes "I like my Toyota".

smart key is actually optional on the se 4 cylinder, and standard when you get an se v6, not just on the xle...

What kinda tires does that car have? Maybe it had all season tires....

Can you all do an older camry?

could you do a review of the 2013 accord sport?

Best car I've ever owned

My Aunt and Uncle own a 2012 Camry exactly like the one in the video, and it drives very, very nicely for a midsize car. Much better than the new Malibu and Fusion (test drive those a couple of weeks ago).

I just recently toured a 13 Camry SE with the 2.5 L and for a Toyota it's not that bad actually! But out of the trim levels I'd take the SE

Do a v6 se fully loaded review plz

Just bought one for my first car. And it has black rims and tinted windows. Biggest down side is it's at 130,000 miles.

I see a witch on a broom stick on the ground right of his feet for first 20 seconds. :D

What was the mileage on this Camry?

Why don't you guys ever mention reliability and resale value? The Camry tends to do that very well.

I have a 2011 Camry and it still one of the best car I ever has even the 90's Camry were good

What would you say is worst in this class?

Did anyone notice the dent on the right fender? not to point out the obvious or anything

GREAT car. I have had so many problems with my 2011 Sonata SE. The steering sucks, lots of road noise, and wear and tear. A year ago I really disliked the Camry, NOW I wish I bought the SE. Definitely trading in January.

That chime sounds like a microwave and do a review of the 2015 camry

I don’t think the se model looks boring at all, I think it looks more sporty than the other models

Damn the 4cyl picks up quicker than I thought. And you can spin the front tires when turning. It’s kind of fun

And for 2013, Toyota did add more padding to the door panels and changed the headliner.

Why my Toyota Camry 2012 doing only 15 miles per gallon

Is that a dent on the right side?

can you please do a 2011 Toyota Camry le

We make sure every car is up to full running temperature...

Ummm is it dented already??

What was your grade?

Yooo i think this is da 2014 model not 2012 but still a good detailed video

I definitely noticed that too.

nice dent in the passengers front fender 🤣

This vehicle had Bridgestone Turanza tires on it.

Hi I am thinking to buy Camry 2012 SE! I am looking for reliable, fair good looking car, good brand as Toyota, not fancy with sporting performance but do not mind a little bit sporty trims! Kindly tell me, Do you think this car is a good choice for me? Yours A T A

I will like you to review the 2012 camry xle please

Some Camry sport model have leather stitching on the door panels

Just got a 2014.5 Camry SE base I4 with no extras. Paid $20,350 before TTL, or $22,650 out the door. MSRP $24,865 Good price?

I don't know what to choose between an 07 or 08 acura tl or a 2012 Camry do you guys have any opinions on witch one is better ?

Price???

why i bought a 2012 camry se v6: amazing engine, acceleration feels effortless. i got a car that goes 0-60 in 5.8 seconds for 26k brand new. simple easy to use entune system that works great. great looking 18 inch wheels, toyota reliability (im sorry but this car will outlast any korean or ford car) car holds the road great. although the new accord probably beats this car and if i could i would get the 2013 accord v6 with 6mt, it wasn't out yet when i got the camry.

wow you can hear some wheel thump wobble etc in this its used i know just loud and tinny sounding
