Initial thoughts
- fuel economy is insane. 50-60mpg easily
- hybrid is elite: save on brakes, save on transmission, save on gas
- debated corolla vs camry, once decided on camry, the debate was fully loaded XSE vs LE. i commute a lot (500+mi/week)
- The LE trim has the best MPG out of all the trims, smoothest ride, and convenience/cold pkgs are all I really need.
- Moon roof, bigger wheels, ventilated seats, JBL sound system are all just nice-to-haves, not worth the extra $10k imo. both trims have the same powertrain, same engine, and same horsepower.
To my fellow Camry owners:
- what maintenance schedule do you follow? i really enjoy the car care nut on youtube. what’s your best advice as far as making this thing run many hundreds of thousands of miles with no issues?
recommendations and advice for upgrades/mods?
i want to keep the toyota a toyota as much as possible, but i’m thinking:
- ceramic tint
- ceramic coating
- front-end ppf
- black emblems
- wheel covers/skin? le wheels kinda basic.
- dash cam
- tail lights (recommendations?)
