2012 Camry

I have owned this 2012 LE 4cyld Camry for a little over a year. It's a great reliable car. I also own a 2003 Camry with 240k miles on it, I would expect this one to go just as far. It's a grandma car as looks go. I really do like the interior. the touch screen radio is nice clean look. there is enough power to pass. it does gear hunt a little. you need to be patient when you mash the pedal down for it shift from 6th to 3rd to give you take off power. trunk is ok, my 2003 has a little more room.

A strong car and its reliability is above average.

It's a strong made of Toyota with an average fuel economy. But need to improve on the interior and exterior designs.

One of the Best!

I own a 2012 Toyota Camry SE! It is outstanding in every way and I am ultimately very satisfied with my purchase. I originally purchased my car new and have since put 72,000 miles on the car. I originally opted for the SE model because I thought it looked sleek and was appropriately equipped for my needs. The specifics on my car are; four cylinder engine, black exterior, black interior, sunroof, power driver seat. I would highly recommend the four cylinder engine. It has plenty of power for daily driving and better fuel economy than the optional six cylinder engine. I have had no problems with the drivetrain or any other mechanical issues. The overall wear and tear on the car has been great with little visible wear. The ride of the car is okay, but not the best. All SE trim Camrys come with a sport tuned suspension which aim to offer enhanced driving dynamics. The interior fit and finish is of price rage and is very practical in use. Materials are average, yet it is still a place I want to spend my time. The visibility is average, unfortunately my car does not have a rear view camera or blindsight detection. Technology is basic, but well executed and one of the easiest to operate. My only complaint about my Camry is that the car has a poor small front overlap crash test rating. The Camry's overall rating was good besides this test. Another small complaint about my specific car is that I it does not have privacy windows (slightly tinted windows in the second row and rear). I would definitely recommend this car to anyone! It is near perfect and extremely reliable.

Awesome Reliable Car

This car was reliable and fairly fun to drive. Nice looks exterior and interior, good performance, and good fuel economy. The only caveats I had were that the L trim level doesn't include keyless entry and the cloth upholstery stains and snags easily.

Never thought I keep this car this long.

For a long time now, I have driven/owned cars that were were larger and near or in the luxury class. For various reasons I downgraded with this car. It was supposed to be temporary for only a couple of years, but 4.5 years later I'm still driving it. While Toyota may have a reputation for boring (and rightly earned), my 2012 Camry XLE has been nothing but enjoyable, comfortable, and Toyota reliable. If all things are equal the next time I buy a car, I'd buy another one.

A plus vehicle

I haven't had the car long, but it's proven very reliable. It's also pretty spacious. I love the car a lot.

Love this car!!!

Unlike other car dealerships Priority always seems to do it right. The sales attendant (Katharine Harrell) were very pleasant and empathetic to my shopping needs and wants. She was patient and helpful through the entire shopping process. Priority Honda Hampton is a great dealership with a great team. Their cars are very well taken care of and the Priorities for Life is an amazing perk. Strongly recommend this location and Katharine Harrell as the sales attendant!

great car, great service

I went to a Toyota dealership in Henderson ,Nv. This is the second car I purchased there and also took a few friends that purchased as well. With a team I always have a great experience. I got a 2012 Toyota Camry and to my surprise the drive is nothing like any other Camry I have owned. It is smooth and very quiet. I have noticed when you release off the accelerator the car seems to speed up or stay at the current speed, this may have something to do with the ECO system not sure. But with the customer service and the car I had a 10 experience. I feel like I am in a luxury sports car.
