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).

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

interior

The interior is nicely trimmed out, JBL sound system is very decent, seating is firm

I hated the way it performed had like a dead spot on acceleration car was very comfortable inside.

Silver white,red leather interior ,black glass roof, a gem of a looker.

I love everything about my new car inside and out!

Great styling, impressive interior, mileage better than EPA estimates which is refreshing.

Quality of interior materials seems good.

safety

Also, the brake assist when approaching objects greatly improves the overall safety of the operator as well as others.

Auto braking and all kinds of safety warnings.

excellent safety features and very comfortable

My wife and I love this car, it satisfies her safety needs and my sexy looking ones plus it’s really good on gas.

2018 Honda Accord

Luckily , mine does not have any of the rattle issues reported by others.

Cons: noisy low-profile Michelin tires, sub-par stereo speakers, road noise at high speeds, accessing the console &#38; the driver's seat is taking on the color of my clothing (I'm gonna have to try some saddle soap on them).

but goes away after a few minutes of driving, driver side window noise around 60mph in cold weather, and rear tire wear.

Smoth riding with a quiet interior (some tire noise).

Rides very hard and noisy from road noise and pavement cracks.

but I've had issues with rattling and vibrating front dash, back speakers and diver side door from the get go.

My only real complaint is that there is A LOT of road noise.

I am very disappointed with the rattles noise that is coming from the dash.

tire

Cheap tires, cheap interior and the exterior is very thin  with poor quality paint that doesnt quite match.

The only thing is with the low profile tires the ride can get a little rough.

but are a bit noisy on textured roads—the expected down side of low profile tires.

The only other thing is it does have some road noise with the tires, depending on the type of road surface.

We have been told something different as to it’s the tires to it’s nothing to it’s us not rotating them.

windshield

Dealer inspected it and found the windshield to be leaking.

Build quality in first 1800 miles: Hood seems to be misaligned and visibly shakes/vibrates on the drivers side closest to the windshield in windy conditions on the highway; buzzing sound seemingly from deep in dash right behind radio display. 4.

but it doesn't stay stable in the car vents and I don't want to stick it on the dashboard or windshield.

bumper

If there are ever any fender benders this car will absolutely get damaged because the material is so thin and fragile.

Had issue with the sensor at the bottom of the bumper.

The front bumper area is hardened plastic and it does not even cover the front of the car.

warranty

After a terrible experience with Toyota’s 2010 Camry and a big disappointment with the extended warranty purchased at Toyota in Charlotte NC I decided to try a different maker.

Plus maintenance costs after the warranty were 2-3x any other "normal" car - absolutely not worth it.

Four month later same thing the fuel door won't open again, luckily, I am still under 36K mile factory warranty, so took it back to the Honda dealer again and they fixed it again.

This car is never been to the dealer for warranty repair or defects.

But on this one issue Honda claims the noise&#47;vibration (there from day one) does not merit a warranty claim.

An hour and a half later I received a call from the service department telling me they had bad news, that the sensor on the car had been damaged and that the repair would not be covered by the warranty.

I have driven many cars and this by far has to be the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned.

The throttle is responsive the ride is comfy even given the sports tuned suspension.

It is a very comfortable ride and gets good gas mileage .

Economic car excellent quality spacious interior  comfortable seating excellent spacious trunk nice color.

What's there to say, it's comfortable, spacious, and uber name is synonyms with reliability.

Terrific looking car (it gets plenty of second glances), large and comfortable.

It has all the features that I was looking for… Plus more.

My list is as follows:

Pros: Styling, color (pearl white with taupe leather interior), performance, safety features, climate controlled seats &#38; large trunk space.

The car has all the features and performance i needed as well as a few extras i wasn't expecting.

I love its many features and the sun roof is tops (pun intended).

The amount of features can not be matched in this price range.

We have just the basic LX model and the safety features are great.

The PERFECT combination of performance and practicality and features, all at a very reasonable price.

Gets great gas mileage while looking great doin it.

This car is really good and reliable save gas and plenty of leg room, and the color that i am looking for to it is white.

Good on gas, comfortable, roomy, and looks nice.

I enjoy the computer system in the car and it gets great gas mileage.

The accord is great on fuel due to its great 2.0 turbo charged 4 cylinder architecture due to it being turbo charged the car is surprisingly fast with a 0 to 60 in just under 5.8 seconds.

As far as the inside goes it's a 3 out of 5.

The interior is spacious, well-appointed and quiet.

The interior is as awesome as the exterior.

The interior of this car seems like it’s on par with that of some of your luxury brand.

The interior makes the camry look like a kia to me.

The quality of the finish inside and out was reminiscent of my wife's Mercedes ML350.

sporty

I leased the car new 3 years ago and am now purchasing it because: 1) Excellent ride and love the "sport"

I like the exterior styling as well,both sporty and aggressive front.

In Sport mode, it even sounds way meatier than it should.

Driving dynamics are rather sporty and fun.

Acceleration, braking, and handling are better than many self-proclaimed "Sport Sedans".

Great compromise between comfort and sporty handling, with a few trips up winding mountain roads to prove it.

2017 Hyundai Elantra

Engine gets a little sluggish and has the famous Hyundai engine rattle,

but with 15,000 miles on the car it began rattling left and right.

But on the highway, the big, boxy wagon is noisy, underpowered, and I can only manage 40 to 41 miles per gallon.

Excellent on everything except a little too much road noise with the 17" low profile tires that are standard on the Limited.

It does make some noise when it has to accelerate quickly,

however when you close all the windows and turn on eco the only noise you hear is the road.

The only small downside with the Elantra is a somewhat noisy and underpowered engine,

brake

I have been having issues with the brakes after paying 1000.00 for the calipers, rotators and pads less then 2 months ago had them replaced and now they are grinding and the rotators are gonna have to be replaced again..

Brakes feel like a wet sponge, and that's AFTER I had them serviced.

Shifting yourself can help extend the life of the breaks, if you use the downshift feature to help stop or slow down the car.

It only has front disc brakes, which seems kinda cheap to me.

paint

5) door interior arm rest plastic paint is chipping away looking ugly.

but I’m deploying in a week and they said there likely wouldn’t be a solution by then which is understandable but no one has even been able to give me a straight answer other than contact numbers to pay for a paint job out of pocket from a body shop.

Everything rattles, the paint chips VERY easily, and its not good quality.

Always trying to sell me something, from wiper blades to fuel injector cleaning, always something.

Quality was the only 4 star area because I had the windshield wiper motor burn out, clock (literally) freezes below 10F,  drivers door seam started to separate and the floor mats wore out quickly.

There was nothing left of my car in front of the windshield.

The few complaints I have are about design of the car, in specific areas:
The windshield wipers divert the water straight into the window.

Windshield wipers are "clean sweep" with zero streaks at all.

My only complaints are with the radio and the tire psi monitor.

but I am unable to check my tire pressure inside of the car which is what I really hoped for.

I am assuming that the noise is because of the standard 18' rims sitting on EXTREMELY low profile tires and lets be honest when you slap "Sport" on a car, you want to feel the road you are driving on.

It is surprisingly quiet inside, except for some tire noise,

The car is comfortable&#47;roomy, drives smooth, easy on curves, back-up camera is so valuable and I average of normally 44-45 miles to the gallon.

Very comfortable and easy to drive.Beautiful both inside and out

This car is so confortable I almost fall asleep driving it.

It drives like a Mercedes very comfortable very good in gas fast when you need it nice safety features very safe.

IT RIDES BEAUTIFUL, GOOD ON GAS AND VERY COMFORTABLE.

This car is comfortable, rides smith and not noisy at all.

Its comfortable, looks great inside and out.

It fix my personality and it is very reliable.Ii love the gas mileage and enjoy the comfortable ride.

I spend my days driving , comfort is key.

Great gas mileage, heated seats, room for 5 and it’s got get up an go!

This car met all my needs: a lot of miles for gallon of gas.

Completely satisfied with the on road-driving experience, fuel mileage and the durability.

This car has everything I could ever want and need along with amazing gas mileage and more!

mileage

Body is in good condition, drives great still has low mileage , I am the only driver,clean interior passenger side and back seat interior like new

Great city driver, I averaged 30 mpgs consistently.

I really like that we've averaged 37 mpg in our first 89 miles, that's awesome!

It handles easily and nimbly, has excellent acceleration, and seems to get outstanding gas mileage.

Extremely Nice smooth ride, loaded, Sunroof, touch screen everything ,backup cam, GPS on dash, music..heated seats, New Motor, Transmission, Tires.. extremely low mileage..Perfect, I think I'm still dreaming.

I’m a minimalist and will keep my minimalistic 2017 Elantra until it hits about 250K miles :) Favorite features?

Is great first car for my daughter, many safety features.

I love all the modern features like the backup camera and Android/Apple Auto is wonderful for navigation.

I love the color and car is loaded with a lot of features.

The Limited had some excellent extra features the SE didn't have, so we went with the 2017 vs the 2019 SE.

I love all the features it has and then there’s something else I learn.

This car has most of the options I need daily.

It looks sporty, has the
value package, heated seats, moonroof, apple play, all the safety features.

ride

Car rides like a much more expensive car.

This Hyundai has an incredibly smooth ride, beautiful exterior, and fully loaded interior that blows every other car I’ve been in out of the water.

We have plenty of leg room and trunk space, it has apple play and siriusxm, and a smooth ride.

The ride is smooth and has plenty of get up
and go for a 4 cylinder.

2017 Ford Fusion

battery

But I have had multiple issues ; clock spring had to be replaced, Front Interface Display Module had to be replaced, New battery, only my passenger rear window is automatic, my speakers are slowly going out.

Dealer checked all, said nothing could be found, finally replaced battery.

The key battery died within a year and cannot start the car outside and had to towed twice, the engine broke down in year 2 and has to be replaced.
