QUOTE(akira982443 @ May 17 2016, 10:55 AM) The driver seat rattling is making me mad. Mine is when u get the lumbar support fully inflated, there would be squeeky noises. When its deflated, it is alright. The left door card sometimes would rattle when going on uneven road. Like there are some bits of broken plastic shaking inside |

QUOTE(hushymushy @ May 16 2016, 10:13 PM) finally got my car this evening....fooyoohhh kan cheong coz dunno what time the loader will come Thanks bro for support thanks to vinceTRD superb service...kept me updated all the time great discount...I have gone to several Toyota showroom, none had the same offer....he personally checked the car for me....insisted I got a new one while there was another in the showroom (yah ppl have gone in and out of the car) gave me 2 free Toyota umbrella; i think golf size...why I want such umbrella?? coz I am running out of umbrella....call me cheap skate...but hey who doesn't want a free one...overall....nice to deal with...had all my stuffs done accordingly... highly recommended sales guy you should visit... Disclaimer: I don't get commission from him. I am just another customer.... OK....about the car....engine wise it is smooth ride.....power on the tap....quite butter smooth engine I would say....pretty well balance power band....vs my previous in-line 6 D.Vanos....this is one comparable ride What I dislike about the engine is the start-stop during traffic jam or traffic lights, minor jerk....felt kinda funny coz this is my first ride with start-stop feature...and my first hybrid Handling....it absorbs the road harshness nicely....maybe because its new and my previous ride had custom struts....haven't tried any hard cornering....driving back from Balakong during after office hours is not recommended... The steering feedback is too soft probably due to the EPS...steering quality and holding feel is nice....way better than the tiny XV40...at least it feels more solid Comfort: Honestly....up one notch for me....nice seats....ample leg room even for the rear....felt like it has more leg room compared to XV40 Audio...for the first time....factory fitted is something i can accept...of coz its not any audiophile or hifi system...but it is pretty decent and meets general demand... first time using the radio took me sometime to figure out how to set the preset channels.....stupid me for not reading the manual...but it was kinda thick night driving with the LED headlights....superb....but would need some minor height adjustments autolights...not something I am used to....but also a fuss to on and off the light due to additional turn on the knob misc stuffs....i think the auto up and down on all windows is a plus.... ambient foot lights adds up though not important what could have been better: 1. additional side compartment to the right side of the driver for small things like house keys, parking cards or whatever handy 2. sunglass holder 3. consider removing the rubber cover for USB and cigerette lighter/12v charger port...have the compartment further sunken so that the flip cover can hide the USB... 4. the rear overall looks could have been better..... 5. central lock and unlock could have a button in the middle like the rest for the EV, Rear Blind and ECO....it would save the passenger having to stretch across to the driver side to lock/unlock the door should the driver go down....  wish you enjoy your new baby  |

Its been some time since i posted.. Was one of the early contributors here, believe that my camry was almost the first one, registered Apr 8. So, its been more than a year using this car, about 18k mileage. Average FC 14km/L.. Full city drive. Furthest driven is JB. So far, very solid. No noise, nothing rattling, quiet car.. While driving to JB recently, didnt notice i was driving 180km/h. Very smooth and quiet.. Satisfied owner. Only hiccup was my SA who promised me a Qi wireless charger adapter for my iphone and never delivered.. But i dun care la.. Most Toyota SA are like that..

QUOTE(hushymushy @ May 15 2016, 09:36 AM) Thats why they saay the first 3 years is covered by Toyota and the 4th and 5th year is by UMW. don't forget.. normally one of the condition for extended warranty to be continued in force is that ur car must b fully maintain by Toyota.. else void ur warrantySo you are right 3+2. Always a caveat somewhere |

Hi, I am new owner of the camry hybrid. Few question as below:-
1) May I know how far the car can drive if the key not detected when it is power ON mode? 2) Notice the GPS Map has two screen, any chance switch to 1 screen only? 3) Can view video on the multimedia system, what video file supported? |

Guys, for those of you are owning this camry hybrid, would like to check a few things below:-
1) How is the performance of this car given that it is 205 hp? How is the pick up? 0-100? 2) Heard a lot of noise from this car posted in here... so do you guys still recommend this car to buy? 3) I haven't test drive yet, but I check online that this car does not have power mode compared to prius hybrid, so is the power ok ? 4) If full load of passenger, will this car underpower if the battery hybrd is low and using ful petrol only? 5) Heard the boot space is very limited due to the hybrid battery, is it true? 6) How is the sound system of this car? Is there any woofer built-in given it says 10 speakers. 7) do you think any facelift will be coming up or new model of this car? I am have yet to test drive this car but thought of changing it given i want a hybrid car. Currently using my Altis 2.0v specs. So far my car no problem but just wanted to change to this car in view that this car is hybrid and review says it is powerful and fuel economical. So guys driving, how is it? Please comment. Thank you. |

Guys, for those of you are owning this camry hybrid, would like to check a few things below:- 1) How is the performance of this car given that it is 205 hp? How is the pick up? 0-100? [COLOR=red] Superb , 8sec~ 2) Heard a lot of noise from this car posted in here... so do you guys still recommend this car to buy? [COLOR=red] depend on luck, theres some user who experience this , but half of it doesnt. sometime is caused by improper placement of item inside , etc coin key clip plastic that cause the sound 3) I haven't test drive yet, but I check online that this car does not have power mode compared to prius hybrid, so is the power ok ? [COLOR=red] try urself at SC, product speak. 4) If full load of passenger, will this car underpower if the battery hybrd is low and using ful petrol only? [COLOR=red] its intelligent, will switch to petrol once exceed 1500 rpm 5) Heard the boot space is very limited due to the hybrid battery, is it true? [COLOR=red] try urself at SC, for me alway drive on 2 pac, its enough , if 5 luggage sure die 6) How is the sound system of this car? Is there any woofer built-in given it says 10 speakers. [COLOR=red] try urself at SC, product speak. 7) do you think any facelift will be coming up or new model of this car? [COLOR=red] what a stupid quetsion , sure new model will come in time, but not soon I am have yet to test drive this car but thought of changing it given i want a hybrid car. Currently using my Altis 2.0v specs. So far my car no problem but just wanted to change to this car in view that this car is hybrid and review says it is powerful and fuel economical. So guys driving, how is it? [COLOR=red] try urself at SC, product speak. Please comment. [COLOR=red] try urself at SC, product speak. once u go test and the moment u switch on the power , u will know what a Hybrid was so COOL about |

QUOTE(akira982443 @ May 24 2016, 06:17 PM) Wow. Amazing.. This is sure a record. I'm pretty sure you are a very patience guy. I can never hit beyond 800km coz once I drive my car, it will be moving above 100km. Not alway, normally i hit 900 only, this is for research purpose and it really consume alot of patience LOL |
