2018 Toyota Camry

noise

but wears down quickly (expect 20K on tread before road noise becomes unbearable) and absolutely horrible  traction in snow.

2) The motor rattles like it needs a valve adjustment when idling, esp. cold.

Also, this is my first 4-cylinder engine, which I find to be somewhat noisy,

The chrome beauty rings on the speedometer and tach buzz at time, grab an move them  little and the buzz stops, a tiny bit of dense rubber wedged under the ring would likely stop it permanently,..on of these days, I'll do that.

Due to that, the car makes interior noise while stock g that is louder than I hoped.

but wonder how long it will stay that way. RATTLES.

Mostly quiet some wind noise on the highway Good highway gas mileage.

Road noise (in PA) is awful. Technology is unexpectedly terrible:  Dash controls actually are worse than last generation's (don't promote that engineer!)

transmission

but at some speeds there is some throttle lag and I've assumed that is again transmission related, again new it before purchasing.

The only complaint I have is the transmission; I have noticed the car up shifts prematurely to obviously save on gas.

The transmission was wonky and started to slip pretty bad

The manner in which the continuous variable transmission is programmed causes the car to hesitate, sometimes a lot, and other times not at all.After visiting various owners forums, I’ve discovered that this is a very common complaint about this vehicle.

When we purchased it, shift points were grossly wrong.

I wish I took it for a test drive.so far no luck with the dealer ship.tells me that's  how it is supposed  to shift.

the transmission, first off, I hate the 8 speed setup, it is constantly wanting to downshift, it is pretty much impossible to cruise in 8th gear at above 60 MPH, unless you are going downhill.

but I’m rather impressed by the engine and transmission performance.

Transmission shifts beautifully when using it manually, or when it?s left on automatic.

Will occasionally produce a huge jolt when shifting from park to reverse.

gear

Currently have 50k and seems like it 3rd 4th 5 the gear will vibrate bad at 40-55 miles and hour.

except the car isn't changing gears at this point.

Biggest complaint is that car seems to have trouble shifting into gear from as you begin to accelerate from 0- 15mph.

The gear changes are slow and accelerating the Camry soon after a slowing down is a terrible thing.

The get up and go from Toyota?s new 2.5L is surprising to say the least, the 8 speed automatic transmission shifts smooth and doesn?t have issues with searching for gears on inclines like many other sedans I?ve driven.

The transmission is horrible, shifting into higher gears too soon and requiring significant amounts of throttle to downshift and then, only after the transmission ?thinks?

My only drawback is it hesitates a little stepping on the gas dropping into a lower gear.

The 301hp engine while very powerful and responsive at higher gears and speeds, it is unfortunately somewhat sluggish off the line unless manually shifting.

failure

Currently getting "parking break malfunction" alert EVERY TIME I DRIVE ANYWHERE, which also means brake hold (which I don't really use) and cruise control are down.

Finally, constant warnings: "Secondary breaking&#47;collision&#47;LDA malfunction (check engine)" warning lights go on for a few days and then go off on their own.

I wont go into too much detail about the infotainment system, which is the other glaring failure in this car, at least in its current iteration.

radio

The radio does not stay on after you turn the car off, this is a huge deal.

to use radio you have to download and install software.

It is even difficult to tune the radio or to change the display.

I just wish the radio station selection was easier for the driver.

I ASSUMED it came with CD and XM radio..  NO it doesn't!!!

Cons of the car consist of a horrid Entune system that requires your phone to be connected to the car to play pandora/IHeart radio.

Specifically, it doesn't support the following apps, all fully supported by Android Auto: Google Maps, Waze, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Audible, Tunein Radio, as well as several messaging, audio book, and podcast apps.

This car meets all of my needs and wants (except for no CD player or SIRIUS radio).

pressure

The TPMS sensors in this car don't just feed an idiot light, it dash actually shows the position of each tire on the car and the respective pressure for each.

The information system has functionality disabled (some economy mileage displays, door lock settings, tire pressure monitoring, etc) which is available on other and the lower gas model,

On initial start-up, brakes are extremely grabby with full braking force regardless of pedal pressure applied.

speed

Radar Cruise on a trip, set the cruise to the desired speed and if traffic inhibits the desired speed the car slows to maintain the same distance and speeds up again when traffic clears.

Cruise control auto slows down if you’re approaching another vehicle and auto returns to your set speed when they are out of the way.

The 8 speed auto is smart and knows when to shift at the flick of the pedal.

The 8 speed transmission has a problem shifting.

The 8 speed transmission needs a lot of work.

When using full speed radar cruise, the car will brake VERY HARD on its own and will get you rear ended if a car is behind you.

The four cylinder SE is very lively and full of pep, paired with the 8 speed gearbox it gives you a good time behind the wheel and the pedal is forgiving due to the wonderful gas mileage.

If I need speed or more power I just need to push the gas pedal.it is sporty, it looks sexy and most importantly is its reliable and comfortable.

If you speed up and then slow down quickly and then have to speed up again, the transmission slips and slides and the whole engine bogs.

comfortable

The quality has lived-up to its reputation along with the comfort of a&#47;c and efficient interior heating in my upper midwest climate.

The interior is comfortable and looks decent.

The heated leather seats are nice and comfortable.

I’m a senior and don’t drive much anymore and was worried that I sooner comfortable with the Camry

Great visibility, comfortable seats, nice cockpit with a comfy leather wrapped steering wheel.

It has everything I want and It’s extremely comfortable.

I will be comfortable letting my teens drive it.

feature

There are plenty of safety features which are great;

Very easy to drive and has some safety features that can be turned on if you want to.

Driver assist package is awesome &#38; makes for a very safe feeling while operating.

This car has more features than I imagined

The safety features and bluetooth are great.

Beautiful lines on this car, smooth ride, quiet, great MPG and fantastic safety features.

I especially the interior and the various options on the dash.

with 3 options for the transmission you can choose which "performance" you want and all will still get you over 40 MPG  unless you REALLY abuse this vehicle.

fuel

But my experience with the 2018 Camry LE blows me away, first and foremost the gas mileage is amazing, the new styling is just gorgeous on the 2018 and newer years, and it’s the fun as all heck to drive.

but I’m enjoying the drive and gas mileage.

This is the best car I’ve ever owned extremely good on gas mileage I average 37 miles to the gallon and I drive mainly in the city it looks really good.

Next closest was a Honda Insight Hybrid, huge gas mileage, kick in the pants to drive

2018 Hyundai Elantra

Overall look for dealers like in Kentucky or Ohio selling for 13500 and do heavy negotiation with them as they have pressure to achieve targets.

The dealership made the whole process easy and no pressure.

Drives fantastic and has some great control and speed.

I like the fact it's a 6 speed and the handling is up to my expectations.

but the addition of the Sport mode along with normal and ECO mode makes the ride even better when merging into high speed traffic.

It cruises the high speed turnpikes effortlessly!

The Elantra has no problems out in traffic; it has the pickup, speed, and feel of a much heavier car on the road.

I find this supposedly "small car" extremely comfortable and I really like the pep it demonstrates when leaving a on ramp to the highway, a place you need quick speed to safely enter traffic.

but the amazing 6 speeds makes up for it.

I loved how easy it picked up speed and how amazing on gas it is.

With its 1.6L turbocharged engine, this car has plenty of speed when needed.

The  car is good on gas and good to and have had one with  the battery and a tire.

Very nice car to drive, handles real well, great fuel economy.

It has fantastic fuel efficiency- I've reached 46 mpg with consistent highway driving.

Great car comfortable great on gas easy to drive great entertainment system everything is great even the price I would strongly recommend to anyone lookin for a nice cheap car

This car is so fun to drive and I still get great gas mileage even as I drive with a heavy foot.

Really helpful when you want to be gas conscious

Very reliable, great gas mileage, comfortable.

Comfortable car to sit in, will get me to work and back no problem.

Has plenty of room and very comfortable  for me to drive.

Finding a roomy ride has always been a struggle and I was quite surprised to find myself a comfortable seating position in my Elantra.

I'm 5'11" my wife is 5'6" and we both feel comfortable.

This car has great design and easy to use features and a comfortable ride.

This is an SEL model and it has really a boat load of features for the price-point.

It is a great car…color, reliability & price are just what I wanted & has all the features I need!

Again it’s a great car and much more affordable option.

I also love the perks of having a backup camera!

Missing few safety features, which has been included in the 2020 and upcoming nline(sport rebranded).

Like all the options for radio and the back up camera is wonderful.

2017 Subaru Outback

port

A few things could be better:   Cup holders could be deeper, should have USP ports/cigarette lighter plug in for back seat passengers   Looking forward to our National Park tour

I wasn't able to charge my phone through USB because the Star Link system thought I wanted to open apps.

I only wish that it had  power outlets in the back seat and it should come standard with remote start.

The only thing to bare in mind is that it you plan to put all-terrain tires on this car the road noise will increase.

The engine, road and wind noise were basically unacceptable.

but the wind noise on both drivers and passenger side windows is almost unbearable.

There is wind noise coming from the side mirror.

Although the 2013 was no great shakes in the GPS department, it had a more defined image.

battery

My one complaint continues to be that the battery has had to be replaced twice in my 2017 Outback.

The car is now at the dealership to find out if this is a faulty battery or if there is aother electrical  prlblem.

but for sure not the first
The wires that lead to the battery will short
the hatch won't close
It will get horrible gas mileage
The lights will flicker on and off
It won't start whenever you have to be somewhere (about 5 times a month!)

brake

These cars don’t brake all you have to do is regular maintenance.

I can't back into my own driveway without this thing slamming on the brakes unless I hold up traffic while pushing and holding a

this one can't be used as an emergency brake (well..I have never tried to at least)
3: This may be minor,

Hill assist park brake engages and sometimes very hard to make it release.

Also had phone conversations with Briaanne with lots of info and no pressure and to top it all a fun demo ride.

We had a super great experience, no heavy pressure.

Our salesman was wonderful and did not high pressure us at all.

it is the car i was lookin for comfort and goes every were you want to go,salesman was great  no pressure to buy that makes it great place to shop and they listen to you and get you the best deals they ncan.

Interior noise level is good at cruising  speeds,

Smooth ride, fast acceleration     Love the eyesight feature allowing cruise control to increase or decrease speed depending on the traffic ahead of you     Love being able to tow a small trailer or a bike rack     Gets 25+ mpg

The ride is much quieter than the legacy because the roof racks are concelled in such a way that the wind does not catch at high speeds.

Cruise control doesn't hold speed well on our 2.5.

Adjusted properly it makes you feel really safe knowing your speed and following distance will constantly remain at a safe level.

but it gets up to highway speeds with no problem.

The cruse maintains distances and recovers set speed after slower car is gone.

It rides and drives great, is comfortable front and back, and has lots of cargo space.

Comfortable seats and plenty of leg room.

Comfortable seating, excellent visability, smooth ride, abundance of cup holders up front.

I feel much better knowing my kids will be driving a car that can handle any weather with comfort and ease.

reliable and comfortable, great car for any weather or road condition.

“Tank” is solid, safe, comfortable, quiet and holds everything needed.

The outback is by far one of the nicest and most comfortable suvs I’ve seen.

It's stylish, comfortable, and overall, reliable to the fullest extent!!!

Love the blind spot detection light up feature.

Every time I drive this vehicle I find some new feature that I just wasnt aware of.

It has all the safety feature you can think of, it will prevent you from missing all blind spots and it will anticipate collision by giving you a clear and useful waning, and in the worse case scenario it will actually stop itself.

I do have the V6 
I feel safe and love all the interior features.

Great reliability and highly stylish with a lot of entertainment and premium options.

Also, this car has a discreet towing package.

The eyesight package worth more than what the option actually cost.

sits 5 with ease and safety features make it a great family cars

safety

Really impressed with the safety of this vehicle and reliability of the vehicle.

The EYESIGHT safety system has saved me numerous times.

I don't have to worry about reliability, safety or bad weather.

It’s got plenty of room and lots of safety features.

Heated seats and great safety features make this perfect for all occasions.

EyeSight Pre-collision Automatic Braking Is the Best safety feature and it works.

This vehicle's manufacture's quality, construction, safety features, dependability were major factors in our buying decision.

2014 Nissan Sentra

2 days after she had it transmission went out.

I didn’t realize at the time that these transmissions are horrible in terms of reliability.

The first transmission went out at 96k miles.

this car  is worthless,  they know  that the  transmission  is  no good , and they  still  has the nerve  to sell 2nd time  this  has happen and  the last time I will never buy a Nissan  again, I rather spend  my money  on a  use broken  down  horse .

The transmission started failing at just under 50K miles and the factory changed the shift modulator in an effort to get it past the 60K warranty.

I currently own a 2014 Nissan Sentra I’ve owned Nissan Sentra since 1990s and the 2014 is really bad I had to change the transmission add 100,000 miles and it still slips not good, I had to repair and spend $1200 on the air conditioning system

Somebody told me the car transmission breaks down after 100,000 miles.

I have so many problems with this transmission and Mitsubishi now owns Nissian so I will bring this up to the dealers    I should get sent something for a brand new transmission because I have brought it like 10 times since I had it

windshield

- windshield wipers suck 
- seating is awkward.

Only complaint is at night the dashlights reflect off the windshield just enough to distract the driver.

Windshield wipers can not be extended to keep from freezing.

This moves the wiper arms to the midway point where they stop.

The engine noises are ungodly and annoying.. like it’s straining to go up inclines or get up to speed..

The blue tooth was unusable as it was very noisy.

But it's like it fixed itself except for a vibration.

My only gripes so far is an occasional rattle which the dealer is attempting to isolate.

The CVT transmissions in their cars are failing.

In retrospect the transmission began to fail at about 70k.

..they will be replacing it with the exact same faulty CVT technology.

Last month in a subzero degree the brakes failed, when I went back to them, they tried to find a none sense excuse, meanwhile,  they charged me $140 .

(A/C On)
Heard of problems with transmission.

At 21k miles I was sitting there idling waiting for it to warm up fan started to sound sluggish and I could smell something.

but the Juke has a really cheap looking interior)

I am not a fan of the seats they could use some lumbar adjustment.

Filled recommended pressure and 24 hours later one went completely flat.

We felt no pressure at all and were pleasantly surprised at that.

Ease of access in and out ,plenty of legroom,trunk with fold down rear seats for all sorts of loads,quiet cabin space at any speed,nimble handling

The sport feature is great for all your speed demons out there.

All in all the Sentra only excels in city driving where its composed over rough roads and its weak engine performance can be masked under lower speed limits.

GREAT RELIABILITY IN THIS GAS SAVING VEHICLE THAT CAN SEAT 5 BUT 4 RATHER COMFY AVERAGE SIZED PEEPS AND NO NEED TO LOOK FOR SPECIAL GAS OR CHARGING STATIONS.

This car has everything I was looking for a more is in amazing car with amazing gas mileage it was reasonably price would highly recommend it for anybody first time owners were looking for a new car to help out.

Working as a Home Care nursing assistant I have found that it's very good on gas and it turns fantastic!

I enjoyed driving this car to work and saved a ton of money given it's great savings on gas.

The back seat was larger than I thought and room in the trunk.It seems to be just the right size for me with good gas mileage.

Love that I am getting 33 miles to the gallon in gas after having gas guzzlers.

The gas mileage is great and it is more spacious than I expected.

I needed a reliable car that was great on gas mileage to get me back and forth from here to ochsner in New Orleans.
