1. the reverse camera is there to help, how do you find it?
2. even prev gen camry (2.0 or 2.4) can do that. even higher speed cabin noise is pretty low. camry's insulation is good, compared to say the accord.
3. yes, depending on the model. if you want a new car comparison you can take the passat or 508.

So reaching 170kmph is a benchmark these days?

My previous Vios 1.5E could reach even 200kmph (with some effort of course). Does that make it a sports car? Surely not.

My Optima K5 can easily hit 170kmph as well. Does that make it a great car on par with luxury makes? Surely not.

Your Camry 2.5L should easily hit 170kmph not because its a great car but because its a higher capacity engine. Nothing more.

Can i give you a piece of advice? When you do test drives, you must be open enough to talk about the negative sides of your ride and not cover them up with untruth.

Ive also test driven the Camry 2.0G last week and yes NVH is good but where is your so called 'good pickup'? What were your expectations then? Were u comparing with a Viva? The 2.0L Camry is sluggish (as expected) and once you hit the 2nd gear the car goes into some semi conscious state. It was the same with the previous gen Camry. How do you expect a car as heavy as the Camry with only 146Hp and 190Nm torque to have 'excellent' pickup? This is actually common sense. Even my Optima with 163Hp, 198Nm torque is still a bit sluggish what more the 2.0 Camry.

May i also ask where you managed to hit 120kmph and take coners at high speed? What was your test drive route?

Plus, how do you define 'interior quality'? Do tell me whats on the side door panels. Its hard plastics. What's on the front audio panel? Cheap plastics again. If u say the 2.5 Camry has got better interior quality, yes i agree but the 2.0L interior is crap for that price range. Both Toyota and Honda are cutting costs by providing much cheaper interiors as its evident in the Camry and also the new Civic.

Dont just be a blind supporter. Its very easy to see through some of your comments.

Many of those who bought Protons and Perodua's also didnt face problems in the first 2 months rite? So whats your point? U expecting problems in the first few months?

safety feature in car, is improve a lot and even p1/p2 have put in safety feature.
how much or how little, is driven by market requirement.

toyota is a business first, and a carmaker second. reduction of feature happens, simply because they can do it and its commercially viable. they probably have data on features and usage, as well as safety stats on accidents involving their vehicles.

there is still a big chunk of buyers who do not want to pay for features, and the common requirement is the "stature" of the car, the comfort while seated, and the practicality and resale. this group is what toyota, as a business, cater for.

last time i got my new wira 3 day later brake fail and i almost hentam car in front. terima kasih proton, i am now a more alert driver.

i will wait for MAzda 6 2013

180k for 2.0L
i rather the camry.

bro.. i'm 99% sure he's kevinw23 in disguise la.. same style.. you should know better

Hi Guys.

Am new here and can feel lots of anger and frustration coming from u guys.
Personally would appreciate all opinions and views (good n bad) given, and if any doubts with a pinch of salt.
There is no necessity to condemn nor argue with our fellow bros.
Let this board be cordial.

I am here to share and obtain as much information because of great fascination with cars.
Frankly speaking, have a special liking for the new 2.5L Camry and now contemplating.....uh very tough decision.

Cheers Guys and Selamat Puasa to our Muslim Brothers.

if u like it , u buy it. its ur money.

when buying car, the hardest decision should only be WHICH COLOUR.

This only applies to Asian countries mind you. Toyota has a totally different approach to customers in US, Europe and Australia. It all boils down to what the paying customer accepts. As long as Malaysians keep accepting low safety standards for higher pricing, then car makers like Toyota will continue to feed us with vehicles which come with the lack of such important features.

180K for the 2.0L? Who told you that?

All the more we msians need to demand more safety features and lives are more important than higher RVs.

yes, i refer to our market.

amerikan spec wat sh1t also got.

est pricing base on how car prices are moving upwards in line with proton prices increase.

No way the upcoming Mazda 6 2.0L will be 180K la especially now since we have more competitors in the D segment as compared to before. I would expect the new Mazda 6 2.0L to be around 160K (OTR) using the Camry 2.0G as a benchmark.

The Camry won't come close to the upcoming Mazda 6 in terms of design, specs, performance and handling.

bermaz knows the 6 wont appeal to the masses. so its going to target those with taste for the design. and squeeze the ringgits out of these ppl. its not hard to be more attractive than camry on paper, so features will be there to entice u, and so its perfectly logical to price it above the camry, and earn more. even that hanokuku dude said he wont mind pay 180+K for the 6.

Hmmm, I dunno. It would be foolish to go after a niche market for them.

From a personal point of view, I would not pay an amount that is higher than their continental competitors - it's just like I would not pay 180k for the Camry because the brand and the car is not worth the asking price. So even if the M6 can throw in all the bells and whistles, I'd still find it hard to justify paying so much money.... and for a Japanese car!!!

I believe the smarter thing for them to do is throw in almost all the bells and whistles or at least have 3/4 of all the gadgets found on the K5, keep 6 airbags and price it around 160k to 165k and they've got a solid Camry killer.
