Finally got around to reviewing the redesigned 2026 Toyota Camry XSE AWD in Wind Chill Pearl for the channel/community. I never had the chance to properly review the XSE trim when this new generation first launched in 2025, so I wanted to come back to it now that Toyota has had more time refining the platform and more people have been able to live with these cars.

Honestly, this Camry surprised me more than I expected. The hybrid powertrain paired with the electronic AWD system gives it a really smooth and confident driving feel, while the upgraded interior, panoramic roof, tech features, and sharper styling make it feel far more upscale than older Camrys. Toyota did a really good job balancing comfort, efficiency, and a little bit of sportiness with this generation.

Full review here if anyone wants to check it out:

In the review I also talk about:

• Real-world driving impressions
• Fuel economy expectations
• Interior quality and tech
• Exterior styling details
• How it compares to the Competition
• Whether it’s worth considering over some entry-level luxury sedans

For those of you who have already driven or owned the new Camry, I’d love to hear your thoughts too because I know a lot of people in this community have experience with Toyota hybrids.

Quick question. I have an 09 Toyota Camry, LE. Usually I thought that Bluetooth indicator is blank and is just a place holder, but just for fun, I went into the radio diagnostics mode (if you’re wondering it’s hold 1 and 6 and click disc aux three times, it will beep three times letting you know youre in setup mode) and this Bluetooth indicator is lit up, which I have never seen it light up before. Does it really have Bluetooth or is it just kinda chillin there? Idk, thought it was cool and I wanted to ask. Ty

Cop or not

I recently got an offer for a 2007 Toyota Camry CE, 157k miles for $3000 cash. Exterior looks okay, interior needs a little work, report comes out clean, miles checks out (odo not rolled back). Is this a good deal or not please lmk..

What are you guys’s numbers looking like?

My brother’s 2014 Camry LE serpentine belt broke, and overheated it to the point where the upper hose connection broke at the radiator and finally stalled on the freeway. After replacing belt, tensioner and radiator, it took a while to get the car to turn over, would crank but not actually turn on. Finally when it did a whole bunch of white smoke came out of tailpipe and soon after started leaking coolant as well. We turned it off asap and checking the oil and spark plugs were not seeing anything too telling as far as damage goes. Any idea what I should start looking into first?

Looking for a reliable daily driver within my budget of about 7k. This guy had his 2015 Toyota camry with 165,000 miles posted for 9k (way too much) ...now he will do 7,500 after people backed out and its been sitting.

We are taking it to a shop tomorrow for a Pre purchase inspection , if everything checks out fine; my question is with this mileage do you all think I can still get a lot out of it ?
