Good to have help from parents.. That's why im working hard to provide headstart for my kids in the future.

can i know how old r u now? just to put myself on a yardstick...

I'm 25 as well. Actually I didn't plan on buying any car until Tesla coming into Malaysia(which I hope for 2 years back). Getting this car is a sudden plan because my younger brother need a car and I gave him my Persona. So I'm researching some option for my next car and lucky enough Camry Hybrid is launching that time. So without much hesitation I just made my booking.

Not a fan of super car / luxury car, what I appreciate is the technology together with the car. Tesla will always be my first choice, but since it's not coming into Msia anytime soon. I just got myself a Camry Hybrid.

Yea, many 90s nowadays won't put too much money on property. My friend rather get a Audi TT instead of getting a house... My advice: house first, car later. Totally agreed with what Coolken saying.

Nissan Teana 2.5 also has good NVH and decent sound quality  but i think nissan is kind of cold car, not many using the latest Teana

Hello,
Can I join for this thread?? 
I'm not driving this car at the moment (hopefully soon) but interested to know more detail for my dad too

Wow! I feel old in this group... hehehehe...I'm 38

By the way, can I check with those who have already used the mirror link.
Is it true that when your phone is connected, this impacts your audio from other sources?
As in you cannot play any music from your USB drive or radio, if your phone is connected via mirror link?
I was told of this by a friend who drives the Honda City.

Also, I am having a problem charging my phone via the car's USB slot, as in it doesn't charge.
I read an american article on the Camry that which states:
"You may be annoyed when you find out the Camry’s USB jack cannot charge a tablet or other device drawing more than 5 watts"

Is this true? Do the rest of you guys have the same issues on charging via USB?

Hi,

The sound is not on high pitch, it's hard to describe in word, let me try to "spell" it out here... it's sound like "uuuuuuuuhhmmm...." when brake gradually from 40kmh to near standstill / standstill, especially on slowing down on the speed bump, slowing down when approaching traffic light, it's sound like the star-war space ship landing.

I thought it sounded cool.. 😊

Haha not too bad le the sound, like a turbine stopping. If u ur listening to music, it's quite ok but if it's a quiet cabin it's quite obvious

I got 2.5K discount from my SA. Do PM me if you want his contact. He even taught me how to obtain special number plate at the lowest cost, skip the runner. I got '3883' for only RM400.

I think the reason why we are getting so much goodies in the Camry Hybrid is because they need to price this car higher than their 2.0. So instead of selling a basic hybrid camry at 120k, they pumped up the car with so many goodies to sell at 175k. The similar car specs in Thailand even though thailand also have hybrid incentives cost Rm210k. I think this car is a steal.

I haven tried it yet but u can try sitting in the front passenger seat ( with all door close) and press the lock button on the control. Works on my city.

I was not in the work shop to witness it. The service adviser only said that the technician push back the bottom cover.
But after about 2 days, the annoying creaking plastic noise coming back again.
Will contact the service center again.

Whats the average fc are you getting?

wow u travel a lot! mine also almost 2 months but only about 3k mileage. other than the occasional rattlings sound which i try to ignore, all's great!

Hi,

Does anyone experience water entering the edges of the rear lights of your
camry hybrid. The SC told me that they cant do anything as it is a design
issue.

My car also same problem. Will complaint during next service

I observed too. Like water trapped in the void, near joint. Will complain later 1k.

Actually i will not accept it as design issue. Are you going to umw sc? How could someone design a rear light that water can leak into it? It is a brainless explaination. If this is really a design issue, then this will be my last car from toyota/umw, cause they couldnt get the rear light right, how could they get others more complex component right?

Hi Guys,

Someone may have asked this before but can anyone confirm that the battery charge doesn't go above 6 bar? It has a total of 8 bars, but I noticed it never go above 6 and never go below 2 bars, no matter how much i drive and brake.
We know how important the battery is to our fuel savings, so effective only 4 bars of battery is being used out of 8, doesn't sound optimum.

Just want to check, what is the top speed has anyone on here done?

How does the pickup feels like from 90 to 190? Do you really feel the electric motor effect?

Top speed is limited at 185kph. Power is then cut off even if you keep the accelerator to the floor. You probably touched 190 while going down a slope as the power is cut off.

I tested the hybrid on mex. wind noise crept in above 140 and becomes unbearable near the limiter. Not sure if my test drive car was poorly assembled or the wind was particularly strong that day.

At 185kph, the car feels floaty and disconnected from the road probably that's the reason they put a speed limiter. It should not dampen a potential buyer's interest anyway as it was never marketed as a sports sedan or meant to be driven at such speeds.
