Thats why they saay the first 3 years is covered by Toyota and the 4th and 5th year is by UMW.
So you are right 3+2.
Always a caveat somewhere

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 warranty

Well guys, I just want to liven up this thread cause can say almost mati already.

So this is my experience of owning the car for less than a year (but around 60k++ km, yes I travel alot)

1. Comfort is there but due to tyre size, it's not perfect.
2. Wind noise is bad at cruise speeds due to side mirror design, gibon door sound insulation rubber helps abit, but I lost mine as it came out  sweat.gif
3. EV to Engine/Charge jerk is obvious and abit scary when car is stationary at P (even with handbrake engaged) and mildly obvious when you're at around 70-80kmh
4. Power is there, but sadly limited to 195km/h, I've yet to see any car workshop being able to bypass this top speed limiter.
5. You can't enjoy the JBL sound system if you use the usb/radio, use your phone/bluetooth and run good music apps (eQu for iOS and jetaudio for android), use equalizers and feel that bass babeh.  cool2.gif
5. Door rattling has begun, but mostly my bad cause I love to blast music in the car (level 43-53), must send back to SC to get it fixed.
6. Regenerative braking is fun and rewarding, but dangerous during peak hours as you'll instinctively not slam the brakes hard enough lol.
7. No complains on handling, it's a big car after all, I only use it on the highways flying all the time  devil.gif
And now, what i've seen other users do to their hybrids;

1. 19" rims and body kits
2. Aftermarket suspensions and coil overs, reduce height to almost VIP style
3. Dual exhaust (i don't know why)  rclxub.gif
4. Ultra racing bars
Sekian dan semoga berjaya.

Disappointed with the overall camry quality. See the two screws on the pic attached? Like a toy car.. too bad i cant return the car.

The bolt on the stabilizer bar is rusting as well.

And krock krock sound when pressing brake while on reverse. Anyone got this? Rattling sound from aircond vents were resolved previously. Not expecting so many issues.

mind to share what model n year? i still thinking to get a 2015 2.5 camry (used) or wait for 2018 camry...

Hi guy, not sure is the right place to ask or not.

I am looking at camry 2.4v year 2009 to 2010

Don't feel like to get it from 2nd hand car dealer, any source to get private owner? Mudah, carlist and motor trader?

Anyone know the market value of the car? I checked with 2nd hand car dealer, it should be range from 55k to 65k. However, many private seller is selling at 70k.

The new designed Camry to be brought in here is fitted with 10yrs old engine lah. Not clearing old engine but they will be fitted with old engines. Most probably due to cost!

Those in Thailand is fitted with new tgna engines

Your question is answered at this years KL International Motor Show.

user posted image

The question now is, at a starting price from RM190k with a base 2.5l engine. Who in the right mind in UMW made the decision to price this car so high and who do they expect to buy it? Are they crazy or is the public crazy enough to shell out around RM30k more for a car that went for as low as RM150k before the launch of this?
*
maybe the pricing is a mkt strategy to deceive Honda on the pricing of their up coming Honda Accord...

also, this is not the first time UMW scale down it new car model spec in order to maximum the profit as compare to other country in the region, our weak currency also have factor to blame...

I’ve driven the new CAMRY hybrid in July 2018 when it was newly launched in Australia.

Nice car to drive with lots of perks - autonomous emergency breaking, radar cruise control etc etc. love the boot space as the battery resides under the rear seats and it doesn’t take up any boot space. I achieve around 4-5l /km when driving around town and highway. It’s a bit unfair comparison as I hardly use the AC as the weather there was perfect!

Very sad to see that Toyota Malaysia is using the old engine and not much of tech stuff.

due to weak RM Currency, if bring in new engine, the selling price can match entry model of BMW or Merz.
