For that kind of weight, yeah, for sure it is slightly under power....
And if not mistaken, current models are only 4-speed auto tranny, which is a setback in terms of giving you good FC.
Should try to aim 10km/l, still driving habits do have a lot of difference. Start stop start stop is killing you sometimes...

Added on February 27, 2011, 1:41 pmIf talk to comfort level, it is the only 1 that met my expectations.

But our friend is more on city with frequent start stop, so I think it is normal.... Getting your car to have optimum FC, the RPM shall not fluctuate a lot.....

Where's the glory of Toyota? Last time their suspension system are superior than other brands.... But ever since entered the VVTI era, no more people mention this already....

hi all,
tq for the ans. any of u is camry owner?

answering some question on accord vs camry, to be honest with you i bought this car together with my good buddy. Bott of us were hard core accord fan.... i cant afford it but he can.... anyway.. to cut the story short..... we went to test drive both cars, he then placed a order for camry... 2 days later i followed his foot step..

Why camry?
A: handlig is supperior but very bumpy
C: more comfy ride

service interval
A: 5k km
C: 10 k km

HID light
A: no for VTIL
C: YEs for G

rear ac vent
A: rear passensger cant get the blow...bcus its pointed downward.
C: Ok

My neighbour is.... Anyway, new car or you bought second hand? If new car, better make sure you check your battery's health when reach 20 months... It usually will fails on you about 2 year.
So, keep a jumper cable on stand by... Other than that, nothing much, just Toyota is not my cup of tea... But if older models(pre-VVTI), yes.
Bumpy ride maybe due to tyre, check the pressure....

Usually tyre that come from new car are by bulk... So, the quality are a ???? Because they need to make profit, so they won't give a good set of tyre.

Well, if you can save rm100 extra from the tyres, you are actually making rm100 extra profit...
I will even change my rim + tyres when it is still new. Got some extra value when doing this...

Not japanese nor continental car only.

Well, there's people willing to spend that amount of money.... Atleast they can boast around that their throat was being slaugther.... People now go for branding rather than quality... Even with the fact that the branded are actually help a little bit....

That's why CVT with sports mode and shift tronic will help sometimes.

Bro, 2.3 or 2.4? I think is more on typo error.
Anyway, 4 speed auto is just like Proton Wira's older 3-speed auto tranny models, won't be FC friendly... Hope Toyota Malaysia will bring in 2.5 models which is having 6-speed...

While every brand going for 6-speed, Toyota still 1 step behind? What's the meaning of "Mowing Foward"? This is more on moving backwards.

I find that the Honda Accord is damn noisy above 110km/h. IMO the Camry is much better.

Check the rubber seals..... Usually is because of the this.

And I will use the "manual mode" during jams to prevent it to fail faster....
