If you want a street racer...this aint it. If you want a reliable commuter that has enough power to get onto the freeway without fear of being run over, a Toyota Camry is a good match. There is a good reason they sell so many of them. I long ago past my days of seeking the thrill of acting like a Nascar driver. The safety features packed in my 2022 Camry LE are just insane. Lane assist, Adaptive cruise control, ABS, auto dimming headlights, and 10..yes 10, airbags. At 63 years of age, getting me safely from point A to point B, is all the thrill I need. It is nice to see that it could go 135 miles per hour, but 80 is likely as high as I would ever go.
The new Camry is pretty impressive for an economy car. VERY aerodynamic and you can really hustle that 4 banger. The Camry is very happy cruising at 80-90 mph😮
@@PursuantMusic87 generally speaking. More gears mean higher top speed and less gears mean faster acceleration but slower top end (generally speaking).
There are 2 liters Honda Civic that went up to 196 MPH. Not stock of course. Video is online. There are 1.4 liter VW Jetta TSI (bone stock) with only 125 HP going 143 mph. Video is also online.
@@prandomable bro, i beg to differ. Top speed has nothing to do with the amount of gears. And, acceleration is always better with more gears, given the same technology. What that means is that an 8-speed will be quicker to accelerate than a 6-speed given the same engine power provided they are both the same type of automatic. The limiting factor for acceleration for a transmission is the shifting delay, so a regular automatic 8 speed will be quicker against a regular automatic 6-speed, but it will lose against a DCT. DCT shifts are almost instantaneous so there's practically no delay.
@Very Stable Genius I just bought the 2019 Toyota Camry SE and it’s pretty much silent at over 100mph. Super smooth on the highway. It runs extremely well and I’d definitely suggest getting one
Looking at some of these comments its like When talking about cars people seem to forget that for others money is a factor. So many people say things like "just buy a supra" "go get it supercharged" that shit ain't cheap. Its like some of yall think everyone can afford a 30'000$ plus car. If you own a car of any kind you're better off than most of the world. Having a nice car is a luxury and a privilege, something most people are unable to do unless they save for it or go into debt. You don't have to make fun of someone because they have a less expensive ride than you. Just makes you look like a dick
I have a this same car, I really love it, sure it's not the fastest or coolest car, but it does everything I need it to do. I've never driven mine over 90mph. Would be keen to see a V6 on the autobahn.
It’s not Cvt 8 speed automatic transmission. 2.0 comes with Cvt. We don’t have in US that spec. Anyway I’m seeing a lot of people changing from accord with CVT and 1.5 turbo to Camry. It’s nice to see it’s going 130 because previous models with 6 speed auto on Camry and 4 speed on Corolla was limited to 110-115
Yes. I think it can go faster as my car is electronically limited to 130 due to tires. Mine is an '21 SE 2.5 AWD. Pulls to 130 then just stops and stays there
i have this camry they lowered it and its faster then the old once feels like v6 deff a highway car i personally like the old camry for confort this one sporty fast
Impressive top speed. I saw 132mph. Good acceleration. What is really Impressive is getting 39mpg at 90mph. Spacious and Comfortable too. In 2018 and 2019, headunit was integrated into the dash which was great but now it sticks out, blocks your view and looks cheap on the downside, the nose and underbody sometimes scrape. Under hard acceleration, the engine noise is unpleasant. Body styling isn't the best yet the LE, the cheapest model, actually looks better than the upper trims bumblebee style designed to trap bugs and dirt in the front. Difficult to clean.
@@XenomorphLV426 The Camry has more than push button start , smart entry, it has homelink and a lot of other features included with that package and none of the economy cars have that !!
Definitely leave this to the pros. When my 2003 Camry was new I tried to keep up with a BMW and at 130mph the car begin to lift off the ground, I shifted a half of lane over... Never again😳
That torque converter is busy; t keeps locking and unlocking. That would bother me if I drove one a lot and I wish the engineers would just keep it locked once it's locked.
8 speed transmission. Computer is responding to driver accelerator input. Camry is not designed as a sports car. So it tries to think best fuel economy first. You have the option to switch to manual mode, then you control the shift range. Very simple concept, just need to learn use.
I don't understand why it doesn't go faster. I have an Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 from 1999 with a 4 speed auto. The 3.0 V6 engine has 225HP, only 10% more than this, but I can get it to 240 km/h. Maybe my car is just more aerodynamic (to the point of sacrificing a bit of interior room), but it's so old that I really doubt it. Anyway, I'd love to have the sporty version of a 2008 Corolla with this 2.5L engine and a strong 5 speed auto, Some work on the rear suspension and it could be a little beast.
Because this Camry is US model and normal US cars like camry, accord etc are limited mostly around 180-210 kmh, pickup at 160-170 kmh. Only sports cars are unlimited in US like challenger SRT8, camaro ss.
@@Driving_Somewhere yeah, I'll just have to get the old injectors looked at, they don't seem too happy idling @700 rpm. Get it to 1.000 and it's back to normal. I wander if getting high pressure injectors like those lade for GDI would help atomization under low load for an indirect injection vehicle.
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK Hi i have the 2022 le an got to say the michelin tires on mine just plain suck ,i have done review searches on them ,on smooth roads there ok ,but get on a road to be paved or un even noicey way past what i like i want to say the tires have some real bad reviews for top end tires ,i also dont like the lane assist an looking for ways top disable it ,i have thought about actually putting bf goodridge or anything ,aslo back to the lane assist seems dangerous first car wit this an it a pain ,only thought is it will have student drivers keeping in between the lines
I’m driving it now I’ve been smoking people on the free way left and rite all it need it’s a cold air I take and mufflers from cat back and you good jack maybe low profile rimes
5sfe would theoretically be much quicker 2.3 overbore 10.5 compression with hks supercharger, 300-350 horse right there for less money than a 19 camry. get an aisin 8 spd on there you done with everything 140+mph
cant wrap my head around this, i have a 2019 hybrid with a CVT and its locked at max 188 km/h, does the car in the video have the 8-speed auto or CVT, cause it sounds like an A/T but then again, did they offered the car with the option to choose from CVT or A/T
2022 le 2k miles The car does get out into traffick pretty well for a 4 banger ,the lane assist sucks an trying to figure out how to shut it off ,have not gone in depth with dealer on this yet as how to disable it ,i thought there was something wrong with the car as the wheel jerks in or out near the lines,the stock michelin tires suck ,the reviews on the tires are like a 2 stars tires for $700..00 set of tires i would never replace them with this tire ,there are budget tires better then these ,i like the car ,but the tires an the lane assist sucks too,i want to shut mine down when find a way to do it .the battery is kinda small ,the coolant res tank is like very weak cheap plastic that sways in the wind ,these are all things one can change or modify at a cost for the tires anyway ,i got this to replace a ram 1500 2019 5.7l hemi ,for the gas crisis ,an i miss my truck the way it drove was better ,i feel like i have to pay way more attention to the road in this car then my truck ,yes the gas milage 36.9 average between city & highway ,alot more road noise in the yota too,i my hope is to try adjusting the air in the tires to start ,everything else about the car i love ,but that being said if i have to pay more attention driving a sedan over a truck ?? something may be up,& only time will tell
@@charlesjackson1700 German cars bring the most advanced technologies in the world and have unrivaled build quality. Do you know which car brand is the largest exporter in the US? It's not gm, ford, chrysler, it's BMW.
@@Diego-tm3dj German cars have terrible reliability.. their engine is full of plastic parts that deteriorate and crumble within 45 years.. they are over engineered with too many computers.. when they get older the dealers are not even able to fix them as they have so many glitches and Gremlins in them.. why do you think the prices are so cheap on them when you find them for 8 years and older..
@@charlesjackson1700 Germany tends to build more advanced and complex engines, that's true. The American industry tends to build engines that are simpler and easier to repair but which are inferior to the German ones in performance and efficiency, an interesting example was the German Tiger tank which was the best tank in the ww2, the one with the best armor, the most powerful cannon and with the strongest engine of the war but when it damaged the larch it took days to repair while the American Sherman tank was extremely inferior to the Tiger, it had much weaker armor, weak engine and much weaker gun, but when it broke down the repair took hours because it was much simpler than its Germanic counterpart. This culture of seeking excellence still exists at Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes and the cost is that they produce complex machines and unfortunately in the US most drivers don't have the maintenance care that the Germans have with their cars in Germany, that's why many German cars are in a bad state in the US and devalue a lot.
@@Diego-tm3dj Years ago German cars were considered good.. They are the worst in the industry now.. Volkswagens are really terrible.. You are better off to lease a German car in this country.. Their engines are very inferior and are not reliable.. I would never recommend anyone to buy a German car.. I hear them being compared to French cars. and I know they are terrible.I consider them worse than any of the terrible domestic cars made in America.. They are endless money pits.. The more expensive a BMW and Mercedes are the worse they are.. They are plagued with mechanical Gremlins😈
@@r2ba435 It really does run well for a 4 cylinder engine. It has more horsepower than any of the other standard 4 cylinders engines on the other midsize cars. I have a 2020 Camry XLE, non hybrid, with the three driving modes. It gets 48.2 mi to the gallon on the road.. You can tell people and they find it hard to believe.. You can still get about 40 MPGs driving it fast on the highway.. and like you said who knows where the price of gas is going..🤑
toyota cars are actually the easiest cars to drive.they have the smoothest steering wheel. you cant feel the road but it doesn't matter if you don't drive always fast.
Lol sport mode is mostly throttle response and late shifting, not much difference between drive and sport mode at acceleration and top speed, only power difference was in alfa romeo stelvio and some other cars
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK in sport mode (at least on the se) it improves acceleration quite a bit. It’s not shifting early and it’s not searching for gears. In sport mode the 0-60 is quite impressive for a 4 cylinder.
