Camry 2011 owner here. 2.4v model. Mileage hitting 200k. So far no problem with the car. Suspension on the soft side. Perfect for cruising highway whole day. Fc depends on drive. Highway getting 12-13km/l. City 9-10km/l. Mine is facelifted with keyless and vsc. Only needes periodic fluid maintenance on the car. Major service on 150k km needed mounting replacemenr and absorber replacement, Spare parts plenty due to sharing with harrier estima alphard estima. If you worry about fc on d segment car, my guess is you still can't afford one.

QUOTE(murali20 @ Dec 30 2018, 04:57 PM) Thanks for feedback, I think I'm going to get Camry after all Test drove both car yesterday, I think I like the Camry better, feel it suits my driving style better, I've another car for city driving, planning to get Camry only for long distance and if I'm bringing my family Now it's time to hunt for good car, since all dealers temper the mileage, I think I've to prepare to change suspension n mountings once I buy the car, anything else I should look when looking for 2nd hand car? Check the mountings. Once start the engine, there should not be engine vibration. Just smooth idling. Take a test drive and check wheel bearings. Camry absorbers is really on soft side. So look out for those ngek3 sound during test drive. Drive train relatively bulletproof. Make sure check gearbox oil have been replaced? At this car age, interior wise if original leather expect some wear. Unless rewrap. One more thing, pre fl camry dashboard tend to melt. Post fl rarely have the dashboard problem. |

QUOTE(Valentino46 @ Dec 28 2018, 02:52 PM) fuel consumption is actually the best among D segments back in it's days when tested by paultan, the article still on paultan website, it's the best when compare against Camry and teana. equipment wise 8th accord is quite Spartan even in it's days, didn't even had fc monitoring, Camry had more equipment but mechanically(which is more important to me), it's the last D segments model to have front double wishbones suspension which explains it's exceptional body control and precise steering feedback, everyone's else already using simple McPherson struts Not all double wishbone perform well. If u take older civic n accord, yes. Very stable for their time. Heck even my innova uses wishbone suspension. Lol. Plus wishbone suspension means more things to fail. |
