When new car must be better tech.. lol
Camry hybrid technology & larger better chassis anytime better than the s70, but only if the previous owner did all the necessary change/service if not you will take up his aftermath.

If want less headache, get Camry without the Hybrid or get even better Toyota Mark-X.

Will check on the Mark-X, I like the hybrid, wanted the serena hybrid but too big, then saw the camry hybrid around 65-75k. But wife say check out the S70 since just came out

200k km mileage vs 0km mileage..

very huge difference in term of maintenance..

if u really love camry, then camry lor..if u 50/50, then pick s70

as for me, I will pick camry as I love big car. big and spacious interior really good for long distance travelling

Camry is a good choice, but think twice before getting that hybrid.
Let's not forget that inverter+battery combo might cost a bomb to fix.

This is my biggest concern. Somebody above said battery around 7k with 24 months warranty, not sure about other stuff.

I'm not planning on going big, somewhere around 75k below for 7 years loan.

I do prefer hybrid car but knowing 2nd hybrid car might come with issues thus the S70 recommended by my wife. Mark X is wayyy out of league atm.

if your budget is tight id recommend s70. go for camry hybrid if you can spare another 10-20k to maintain it

There is an auction car going for 53K + for Camry Hybrid.
Can consider if you have the cash.

frankly me myself i would go for proton s70 , brand new car would be the best choice

summary : not that cheap, understandable since hybrid. if want cheap this shop also can sell recond battery unit.

only buy hybrid when it is new & under warranty. We all thought only the battery need to be replaced but forgot the other related unit that required to the battery, when k.o, cost fortune.

take S70 in this case

totally agreed with you , if it's brand new then worth to get hybrid car , used hybrid car the one we should avoid

1) do u own one?
2) did u have problem above?
3) did that cost u a bomb?

Or “my friend say..” kind of source?

1) No
2) No since didn't owned.
3) again No

source came from families and friend.

I'm just looking around for Hybrid since I believe it is better than EV in longer run, but budget aren't much.

These are rare occurrence.

U will see more VW kena towed than Camry

Hybrid is a breeze.

Correction. S70 is officially a C segment car. Please dont intentionally demote or downgrade just to protect H .

Also at Paul Tan.org (cant post link here due to "you know why").

so buy which 1?

Technically is no, they are using BMA (B-segment Modular Architecture) chassis which is a B-Segment but they stretch out and try to make it like B & C mid segment. Their marketing team try to spin it so people will buy it as a lot of people here prefer C-Segment cars but at a lower price point.

FYI Proton X50 is also using the same BMA chassis.

Another reference from the original car it base from Geely Emgrand also market as B-Segment.

FYI, most of these online reviewers are paid including Paul T*n so dont 100% believe what they said/write in their blogs/youtube.
