That’s great. We drive a 2022 Highlander Hybrid and while the mpg is great (and the AWD is surprisingly capable off-road), it’s miserable to drive around town. It stumbles, lunges, and hiccups worse than many carbureted cars from the Malaise Era I drove in the 80s.

The Camry certainly needed improvements in NVH. I drove my first Camry in awhile as a rental car a year ago and was surprised at how bad the NVH and build quality were, not comparing it to a luxury car but to the significantly better options from competitors like Honda, Kia, and Hyundai. The engine sounded terrible, vi…

As the owner of a 2022 Camry XSE w/ AWD, I love the looks and hybridization of the 2025 MY Camrys. However, despite having a fantastic ride, I doubt I will ever buy another Toyota product unless/until they fix some very frustrating, but easily fixable, issues:

This is dumb and dangerous, but damn if it’s not hysterical watching them scoot back.

Back in the late 70s/early 80s a lot of vehicle would start to knock on regular as they got up in miles. Frequently using midgrade would stop the knocking.

Put up a privacy fence then; there has never been a “right of privacy” in areas open to public view

You don’t need a warrant for activities that happen in public. <shrug> Don’t do criminal activity in public - and the outside of your house is public.

So what?

I totally agree with properly funding the VA, but this guy was faking a disability to scam the VA.

Your front porch in plain view is a public space. Boo hoo for the criminal, yeah for the cops.

As much as I hate to side with the cops, this is analogous to a well-funded stakeout, which is definitely a legal practice.

This went through the courts post-9/11 and they were ok with it.

I found the original auction pics. Defnintely not “just a bumper.”

That sets a dangerous precedent for paying lawyers. Even if the company is still in the green, a 6 Billion dollar payout is insane for legal services. Even 1 billion is crazy high for any company to incur for one issue.

Pretty hard to justify that $6B fee, no matter how you look at it.

I’ve definitely driven about 400 miles at a time. Granted, that was a decade ago and even then I felt it for days after. But it’s also the location of where you’re driving that keeps me from taking the EV on a trip from, say, the Bay Area to southern california. I know people who’ve taken 10 hours to make that drive…

Chillin in my 2014 Chevy Volt, doesn't need much more than an oil change every couple years..

I’m just saying, people are making it seem like ICE users are spending 10s of thousands of dollars just in maintenances alone when that’s not even true. My evo alone was probably around 3-5K$ including tires, clutch, brakes and oil changes. Oil was probably only about 1000$ in 10 years...Maybe in a ferrari will you be…

I have put shocking little money into my 2009 Ford Escape hyrbid.  Taking more miles off the engine would decrease that even further.  You are right overall between an EV and anything with an engine, but really my costs are so little even with 245k miles on it.

I mean how much do Priuses really cost to maintain? The most expensive thing I did on my outlander sport was spark plugs and brakes within 10 years and over 100K miles. I only need to do oil changes once a year. Priuses I’ve seen are quarter million mile machines that are still running on original engines. For all…
