hi guys, just a quick check with you - which Service Center would you recommend to go and which to avoid?

I have been going to the one at SS19 PJ, but am thinking of going to the one in Sg. Buloh.

Some updates about the dashboard rattling plastic noise.
Took the car to the SC, waited for the technician, then took the car out with the technician. The technician acknowledged that there is some noise and gave the option to "try" to fix it or leave it until the noise gets louder.
I chose to fix it so need to make another appointment.
Took the car back again and left the car there for the whole day. They say the noise comes from the speaker cover. After driving the car for the past 1 week, there is still a little bit of plastic rattling noise on certain road condition, but the sound is very much softer and the occurrences are also much less.

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.

Some thoughts after driving it for 2 months.

Pros:
+ NVH
+ torque & power. Feel faster then my BMW E46 325i that has 245NM and 193bhp
+ interior space, especially front & rear leg room and overall comfort
+ averaging between 14 - 17 km/l depending on driving mood for the day.
+ boot can accommodate 4 medium size golf bags despite smaller boot due to battery
+ for the price, hard to find another D segment car with such power, features, fuel economy and reliability.

Cons:
- Still too much plastics in the car, hence can hear minor rattles on rough roads.
- at low speeds can feel road imperfections.
- while power is good, brake dont ooze confidence (coming from bmw experience)
- no solution to water entering grooves of the rear lights.
- whiney regenerative brake.

As balance a view as I cant get. Overall, I am happy with the car.

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?

Did anyone try to go with Toyota own financing plan flexiplan? I'm interested because it calculate the interest like house loan, and if u have more money, u can just pay more to reduce principle amount.
