I had a Charger 392 and after 6 years I sold it for a 2023 Camry TRD and ABSOLUTELY love that car. It is so amazing. Corners well and moves out when you floor it. It is def a strong car. I dod not expect that after driving the Charger.
love my 2018 xse v6 bought it new in 2018 got 114k on the odometer and she still rides like new. engine still has great pick up never had any issues. maintenance has been great just typical oil changes and tire roation. so far ive gone thru 1 set of brakes and a set of tires in my 5 years of ownership. shes a keeper for sure. and youre right first time i drove my car i thought i was in a lexus because of the 360 degree cameras and the heads up display and cant forget the pano roof.
Got this same color with red interior picked it up today 8 miles. The v6 is so buttery smooth and was definitively the correct choice over the 4 cylinder
Just got my 23' XSE 2 days ago. Got it 4k under MSRP. Celestial silver w two-tone black top and red interior and fully loaded except no kick trunk release but no biggie! Put $500 deposit on it and few days later, allocation came in. Excited to drive it anywhere! Best car I've ever owned! Love all the features and its sooooo smooth!
I currently have about 33k miles on my 2021 Camry XSE V6. I have never regret purchasing it due to its smoothness and reliability. In addition, it looks great. 👍
I feel you on that, I just traded in my 2015 C7 Corvette for a 2023 Camry TRD. I miss the Vette, but I also wanted something more practical, long term and reliable. I also own a 1999 Toyota Camry with 160k miles and still running strong.
Hello Shane, quick question. While I agree with you on going with the V6. If you’re going from a scatpack which is a sport/aggressive looking car, why not go with the TRD. I got one in the 2023 exclusive color (underground) and I absolutely love it. If I was to take a guess, is it because of the available options on the XSE over the TRD? I do have to agree I would love some heated/cooling seats as well as the sunroof but just want to get your opinion on this one.
Hi Bryan. Appreciate the comments and question. I looked for the TRD but couldn't find one so in all honesty I went with the next best option which was the xse. I have no regrets but agree the aggressive styling in the TRD is enticing. I wish Toyota allowed you to order cars......but they don't
Easily my top pick for family sedans since it's the only one left to still offer s 6-cylinder engine. I had a 2015 Camry XSE V6 that I bought new back in the day which I loved (My brother has it now). I didn't like that black roof at first, but has really grown on me over the years as I would for sure buy one with it. It looks amazing in white, but I would go with red since my current car is white (2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport).
I went witn the lexus es350 after driving them both. It drives so much smoother and quiter. Also love the front end of lexus better and the sound system is so much better.
Even the camry 5 years old design already but still the best looking car on the market today i bought a use one 2018 Camry SE 4 cylinder it's beautiful to drive very smooth power and comfortable and stick to the road Even myself I owned a 1987 Cressida. 1998 camry V6. 2010 matrix 2.4 and last year i bought a 2022 venza hybrid limited I love it good on gas thanks for your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
@@GuysTalkingCarsjust curious. I have the same car and I feel I have to be in sports mode to get the power and good shifting. So do you use normal mostly?(normal being the default of course). What’s your experience
@@samueljames8368 I drive in normal. I'm used to the v6 as I had a Lexus before. Known for the smooth and seamless shifting. I find it totally adequate for daily driving.
I used to have a 2012 Toyota Camry LE it had 288k miles on it when got rid of it and I bought a 2018 Camry XLE 4cylinder fully loaded and I work two jobs it now has 152k miles on it and I plain on keeping it for as long as I can, so I say good choice on your new vehicle I doubt you'll rack up that many miles on that one as mine but even if you don't still good choice 👍 and they are nice looking cars to.
@@GuysTalkingCars also something I meant to say when I was typing earlier if you go in the blind spot monitor setting menu in the gauge cluster screen you can set the sensitivity to be on high and when you do every car you pass most times no matter how fast it was still come on 😭 I find it to be funny cause not all car BSM systems are that sensitive also when set to high it’ll detect cars approaching further back 🚗🚗👍
I see different specs on the 0-60 times. 0-60 in 6.0-6.7 seconds is way too slow for this car. My 2009 Camry was a fast beast and had less HP. Does the XSE and TRD V6 go 0-60 in 5.1 seconds? I have a Infiniti Q50 Red Sport and love it! Now I am trying to decide between the Camry and the G70 Genesis for another car.
@@GuysTalkingCars Same reason you got yours.If i waited till i needed a car i wouldent be able to get what i want cause everything is going small motors and turbo i did not want ether. I am just as happy plus its a Toyota should last a long time.
4 months surely gone quick since this Topic video. I would like to know what you are getting for MPG. My 2023 Camry XSE V6 has 4,696 miles from Jan. 19 to Oct. 10. Best City was 21.7 traveling 5.5 miles and Highway was 30.4 mpg traveling 106.0 miles. I am certain the my average is just below 25mpg. I only drive in Normal mode. Some people rave they are getting average 36mpg with a v6 even though rated 22 C/33 HWY. My average of 25mpg is not the worst nor is it great. I just wished I could have gotten a GEM rather than an Underperformer. At about 2K miles in June had the Oil Change done per break-in period and again oil change in January (aka every 6 months). Maybe my MPG is down because I dumped the lousy and dangerous OEM Bridgestone Turanza EL-440 tires with only 5 miles on them for Michelin CrossClimate2 All-Weather the same day I accepted my Camry. Not sure why Toyota likes to endanger people's lives with bad designed tires and they keep on installing them at the factory. I would appreciate to give me your MPG so I have someone "stats" I can compare with. Thank you! Oh! how is the Hellcat acquisition working out or you still shoved out the door and looking at options? Wish you well and I enjoy your channel.
I have a 2023 Lexus ES350 with the same V6. Yes, it’s only rated for 32 highway, but on a long uninterrupted highway drive at 6mph, I’ve seen 36mpg’s. But my daily driving, which is mostly highway, but shorter trips with a bit of city driving, I’m averaging about 29.
Funny story, alot like yours, bought incoming XSE V6 sight unseen, caught the salesman off guard! I brought in a cashier's check for the quoted amount over the phone, invoked the Lord's participation in the deal. So when the manager upped price 11k, salesman got it back down! .....originally $41,388, went up to over $52k. Yah, I know!! btw, White black top
I am trying to decide between a Camry, and a ‘23 Accord EX. I am leaning towards the Camry, though. Two questions, though….Do you find those leather seats comfortable? Also, with the Camry’s low profile, do you often scrape the bottom of it, over driveways, speed bumps, changes in road surfaces? I know you obviously have to be mindful of parking, and not getting too close to the curb/fixture or whatever. Thanks in advance!
No scraping issues at all and the seats are great. I do wish it was a bit lower - but I am 6’4” - that said I would give the nod to the Camry over Accord with price out of the equation

They want your money now and signature on the contract. TFS way of ripping people off by increasing ARP every January. Beware of Toyota's famous "QC Holds" aka Quality Control delays. The new way in the last few years to shaft you over. The day the Toyota Dealership Finance Manager runs your Credit Check through Toyota Financial Services "TFS" you have a 30 Day window on the current APR. If you let the Credit Check go passed the 30 Day mark, your APR agreement is Expired. TFS will then issue a higher APR aka higher Interest Rate. You can go to your own bank or credit union for a pre-approved loan hopefully their APR is less than TFS. Dealership markups on cars is B.S. (don't pay and walk away), fake increase as We Put Nitrogen in the Tires (Prove it), They will attempt to sell you Accessories, Warranties, Paint Protection and Underbody Rust Proofing. Be careful of who the 3rd Party Service is. Dealership gets a Commission on selling you 3rd Party Services and offer you Zero coverage because it is not a Toyota or Dealership provided Service being performed by them. You are best to seek and get Services you want on your own terms. Don't let the Dealership get a Commission on same service you could obtain for a Cheaper Cost by going there yourself. Toyota has been in the business of App Subscription Plans. After the Trial Period, do not Renew as cancel them because they are not needed or required. Except REMOTE START because the car computer is rigged not to work unless you pay for the plan. Another Toyota ripoff scheme. $80 per year. Please consult with Toyota as this may change in the future and require no payment. **Automotive News reports that, starting in 2023, buyers of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles will get a 10-year free trial period for the company’s Safety Connect and Service Connect systems. **As long as you equip your new Toyota or Lexus with the company’s new infotainment system, you get 10 years free. For Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto get Ottocast U2-X Pro dongle for $99, it works great. If you really want a Toyota VSA warranty, you think cost is too high, call as many Toyota Dealers you want in the country "USA" until you get a nice low price. Your dealer wants $2,500 for 7 year / 100K miles Platinum Plan, call around to other dealers as might get one of same plan for $1,900 maybe as low as $1,600. Huge mistake, never ever Trade-In a vehicle, it is like going to the Pawn Shop. Sell your car Privately or may consider giving it free to a family member. Never sell to a friend unless they know everything you have done to the car and they know what is possibly wrong with it. Selling to a friend may end your friendship. For example, your 2015 Vehicle you paid $35K and in 2023 is worth $20K. Dealer offers $14K as Trade-In, you just lost possible $5K to $6K in your own pocket.
Good question!!! There are videos of the Mazda Toyota and Honda racing and the Honda wins - but I really I prefer the upscale cabin of the Mazda and the torque . . . Ultimately your preference will win out so drive both
Good day Shane. Would you please answer a few questions I have about the Camry please. First, how to do you feel about the acceleration and speed of the car overall? How does it handle in corners? How would you rate the overall fit and finish? I’m in the process of getting a V6 by the end of the month. I’ve only been able to test drive a 4 cylinder which was nice but I want more hp. Is the V6 in the camry really all that? Thank you.
Good afternoon. Thanks for your questions. In short the V6 IMO is the only way to go. It is very smooth, very linear power. It is plenty quick, and I think you will agree. Overall for and finish is good as expected from Toyota. Quiet interior and feels upscale minus the quality of the backup camera. Congrats on your purchase let me know what you think
@@GuysTalkingCars Thank you for your reply. Great channel (subscriber). Your easy, down to earth manner is exceptional. Thank you and I’ll let you know how I make out.
Modesto, CA. another messed up city like Fresno, CA. Retired Navy guy who was once based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, CA. I'm from the northeast and have a fully loaded 2023 XSE V6 supersonic red/midnight black with black interior bought in Dec. 2022 but darn Toyota had placed it on QC Hold, since my 30-day credit check expired by Jan 17, 2023, and Camry did not get delivered to dealership until Jan. 18 and Toyota Financial Services in January raised the APR, TFS would not grandfather me to the APR at the processed time at the dealer and said if I wanted the Camry I had to pay the new 2023 increase APR rate. So, instead of 60 months went to 48 months to keep the same APR%. TFS also wanted me to forfeit my $500 Military Rebate that was already previously approved by them but since I moved to 48 mo from 60mo kept my $500 Military Rebate. Anyways, I lucked out as it was the only 20223 Camry XSE V6 allocated to One of Two Toyota Dealerships in my local area. So far, neither one has received another XSE V6 in the last 6 months but one other with 100 percent exact Options and accessories as mine about 40 miles from here. Was weird that another dealer had the same XSE V6 Camry, color, and MSRP. From 2018 to 2023 there are several around that look like mine or of White Chill Pearl or Celestial Silver as only they are 2 Tone. As of June 17 2023 my Camry 2,523 miles. I've added Lower Rocker Applique, Emblem Blackout, Door sills, all-weather mats, door edge protectors, mudguards, and rear bumper applique black, dumped the extremely dangerous OEM factory new Bridgestone Turanza EL440 tires ASAP had maybe a total of 4.5 to 5 miles driven on them for new Michelin CrossClimate2. Windows Tinted, changed door puddle lights and trunk light with LED, replaced the Hood prop stick with Lift Supports, and a BRACER1 front strut bar, and for wireless carplay and android auto bought Ottocast U2-X Pro dongle. - Next, I agree, there is nothing better than a V6 or V8 engine with a real automatic or manual transmission as CVT rubber bands, then 4-cylinder engines, i4 turbo, hybrid, and EVs are for wimps. Honda Accord Touring went south when dropped the V6 for the I4 2.0T then here in 2023 really killed it dropping the 2.0T which was kind of okay and decent for a 1.8T or 1.5T piece of garbage. Anyways, the point made here is both Toyota and Honda are no longer interested in building quality vehicles. Yes! I am old-fashioned and a classic-muscle car enthusiast. The Panoramic Roof looks good. But in the 6 months of owning my Camry XSE V6, much like my other cars of the past, I do not use or open the moon/sunroof and the Panoramic not once. I prefer a solid roof but automakers insist that everyone wants a glass roof with their Top Trim level. If the Camry XSE V6 could come without a panoramic roof, it would even be better.
Totally agree with all of your thoughts - including about MODESTO! (also, thank you for your service!!) Sounds like your car is looking sweet . . . V6 only way to go there for sure. We love our ICE engines . . . thank you!
@@GuysTalkingCars Much appreciated that you Agree with me! No one is Perfect, sorry if any remarks seem unwarranted. Also I already mentioned I am a V6 and V8 guy. Then Military personnel cannot perform their fulfillment of service without the folks back home. Every person, young to old, has a role in life. We're all important!

@@shanetipton4345 I love the current design. It’s by far my favorite Camry of all time. It’s so sporty looking. The few pictures I’ve seen of the new one I’m not a big fan.
You are lucky by not getting a Honda. A friend of mine has a CRV. She is are senior professional who does not treat her auto badly at all. You know what … !!! It broke the Rack & Piñon. She had luckily paid for the extended guaranty and the repair cost $3000.00 aprox. I hve had Hond and liked the qulity but things change and think it is not the best choice now. Toyota is providing a more robust support and design development.

The day the Toyota Dealership Finance Manager runs your Credit Check through Toyota Financial Services "TFS" you have a 30 Day window on the current APR.
If you let the Credit Check go passed the 30 Day mark, your APR agreement is Expired. TFS will then issue a higher APR aka higher Interest Rate.
You can go to your own bank or credit union for a pre-approved loan hopefully their APR is less than TFS.
Dealership markups on cars is B.S. (don't pay and walk away), fake increase as We Put Nitrogen in the Tires (Prove it), They will attempt to sell you Accessories, Warranties, Paint Protection and Underbody Rust Proofing. Be careful of who the 3rd Party Service is.
Dealership gets a Commission on selling you 3rd Party Services and offer you Zero coverage because it is not a Toyota or Dealership provided Service being performed by them.
You are best to seek and get Services you want on your own terms. Don't let the Dealership get a Commission on same service you could obtain for a Cheaper Cost by going there yourself.
Toyota has been in the business of App Subscription Plans. After the Trial Period, do not Renew as cancel them because they are not needed or required. Except REMOTE START because the car computer is rigged not to work unless you pay for the plan. Another Toyota ripoff scheme. $80 per year. Please consult with Toyota as this may change in the future and require no payment.
**Automotive News reports that, starting in 2023, buyers of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles will get a 10-year free trial period for the company’s Safety Connect and Service Connect systems.
**As long as you equip your new Toyota or Lexus with the company’s new infotainment system, you get 10 years free.
For Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto get Ottocast U2-X Pro dongle for $99, it works great.
If you really want a Toyota VSA warranty, you think cost is too high, call as many Toyota Dealers you want in the country "USA" until you get a nice low price.
Your dealer wants $2,500 for 7 year / 100K miles Platinum Plan, call around to other dealers as might get one of same plan for $1,900 maybe as low as $1,600.
Huge mistake, never ever Trade-In a vehicle, it is like going to the Pawn Shop. Sell your car Privately or may consider giving it free to a family member. Never sell to a friend unless they know everything you have done to the car and they know what is possibly wrong with it. Selling to a friend may end your friendship.
For example, your 2015 Vehicle you paid $35K and in 2023 is worth $20K. Dealer offers $14K as Trade-In, you just lost possible $5K to $6K in your own pocket.
This is such good info. Easily one of the best replies to my video. Much appreciated. Thank you
Is 1/2 inche spacers bad or good on the 2023 xse
For the wheels?
New sub here just want to know if we could get a ball park number of what your car note is?
Thanks for being a part of the GTC family!! Appreciate you! Yes, my note is right about $600/month
Camry xse v6 or the Mazda 6 with the turbo?
Good question!!! There are videos of the Mazda Toyota and Honda racing and the Honda wins - but I really I prefer the upscale cabin of the Mazda and the torque . . . Ultimately your preference will win out so drive both
Good day Shane. Would you please answer a few questions I have about the Camry please. First, how to do you feel about the acceleration and speed of the car overall? How does it handle in corners? How would you rate the overall fit and finish? I’m in the process of getting a V6 by the end of the month. I’ve only been able to test drive a 4 cylinder which was nice but I want more hp. Is the V6 in the camry really all that? Thank you.
Good afternoon.
Thanks for your questions.
In short the V6 IMO is the only way to go. It is very smooth, very linear power. It is plenty quick, and I think you will agree. Overall for and finish is good as expected from Toyota. Quiet interior and feels upscale minus the quality of the backup camera. Congrats on your purchase let me know what you think
@@GuysTalkingCars Thank you for your reply. Great channel (subscriber). Your easy, down to earth manner is exceptional. Thank you and I’ll let you know how I make out.
@@cinemasix4418 thank you so much for that and being a part of the channel!! We really appreciate you!
Just picked up this exact car v6 white with black top and red interior. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. THIS CAR IS AMAZING. It’s plenty quick
@@Seth-fo6rf 💯
Man I’ve been thinking about getting a 2023 but man they’re kinda expensive they range any where from 38k-41k
Agreed . . . in retrospect probably a LOT more value over at Mazda . . .
40k for a car that can give you 300k nearly trouble free miles sounds like a pretty good deal.
@@JohnnyUtah9173 oh 100%
Modesto, CA. another messed up city like Fresno, CA. Retired Navy guy who was once based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, CA. I'm from the northeast and have a fully loaded 2023 XSE V6 supersonic red/midnight black with black interior bought in Dec. 2022 but darn Toyota had placed it on QC Hold, since my 30-day credit check expired by Jan 17, 2023, and Camry did not get delivered to dealership until Jan. 18 and Toyota Financial Services in January raised the APR, TFS would not grandfather me to the APR at the processed time at the dealer and said if I wanted the Camry I had to pay the new 2023 increase APR rate. So, instead of 60 months went to 48 months to keep the same APR%. TFS also wanted me to forfeit my $500 Military Rebate that was already previously approved by them but since I moved to 48 mo from 60mo kept my $500 Military Rebate. Anyways, I lucked out as it was the only 20223 Camry XSE V6 allocated to One of Two Toyota Dealerships in my local area. So far, neither one has received another XSE V6 in the last 6 months but one other with 100 percent exact Options and accessories as mine about 40 miles from here. Was weird that another dealer had the same XSE V6 Camry, color, and MSRP. From 2018 to 2023 there are several around that look like mine or of White Chill Pearl or Celestial Silver as only they are 2 Tone. As of June 17 2023 my Camry 2,523 miles. I've added Lower Rocker Applique, Emblem Blackout, Door sills, all-weather mats, door edge protectors, mudguards, and rear bumper applique black, dumped the extremely dangerous OEM factory new Bridgestone Turanza EL440 tires ASAP had maybe a total of 4.5 to 5 miles driven on them for new Michelin CrossClimate2. Windows Tinted, changed door puddle lights and trunk light with LED, replaced the Hood prop stick with Lift Supports, and a BRACER1 front strut bar, and for wireless carplay and android auto bought Ottocast U2-X Pro dongle. - Next, I agree, there is nothing better than a V6 or V8 engine with a real automatic or manual transmission as CVT rubber bands, then 4-cylinder engines, i4 turbo, hybrid, and EVs are for wimps. Honda Accord Touring went south when dropped the V6 for the I4 2.0T then here in 2023 really killed it dropping the 2.0T which was kind of okay and decent for a 1.8T or 1.5T piece of garbage. Anyways, the point made here is both Toyota and Honda are no longer interested in building quality vehicles. Yes! I am old-fashioned and a classic-muscle car enthusiast. The Panoramic Roof looks good. But in the 6 months of owning my Camry XSE V6, much like my other cars of the past, I do not use or open the moon/sunroof and the Panoramic not once. I prefer a solid roof but automakers insist that everyone wants a glass roof with their Top Trim level. If the Camry XSE V6 could come without a panoramic roof, it would even be better.
Totally agree with all of your thoughts - including about MODESTO! (also, thank you for your service!!) Sounds like your car is looking sweet . . . V6 only way to go there for sure. We love our ICE engines . . . thank you!
@@GuysTalkingCars Much appreciated that you Agree with me! No one is Perfect, sorry if any remarks seem unwarranted. Also I already mentioned I am a V6 and V8 guy. Then Military personnel cannot perform their fulfillment of service without the folks back home. Every person, young to old, has a role in life. We're all important! The Military is unable to function without the work ethics, support, supplies, and funding from the U.S. taxpayer/ common wealth citizens. It is a 2-Way street. Thank you for your kind support and words.
@@richscott2483 appreciate your comments! Our father served so your points hit home for sure!
Now folks that's a Toyota that guy knows what he's talking about nuff said I'm out Cape Town South Africa ❤
Thank you!
#1: you're old and not rich enough to get your dream car
#2: name a single kid who wants to be picked up in their parents Camry vs Mercedes, BMW, Porsche etc
Yes, I am getting older. I also own a 1982 Ford F-150. And it is not pretty!
@@keithwinslow6654 1982? Yikes. Gas. Guzzler. That's antique territory
🤣🤣🤣
@@simonscowled9925 You have no idea! It is a ranch truck my father gifted to me years ago. She runs like a champ, would guess 8 to 10 mpg? :-))
What do you think of the 2024 Camry?
Well the pictures so far that I have seen, looks a lot like a Hyundai in the front. Not sure I like the design. What about you?
@@shanetipton4345 I love the current design. It’s by far my favorite Camry of all time. It’s so sporty looking. The few pictures I’ve seen of the new one I’m not a big fan.
@@shanetipton4345 I also wonder if they will follow the crowd and dump the V6. That would be a shame.
Yeah wouldn’t surprise me at all
@@shanetipton4345 Me either. Honda had a sweat V6 in their Accord and traded it for a 4cyl turbo. It wouldn't shock me if Toyota went the same way.
You are lucky by not getting a Honda. A friend of mine has a CRV. She is are senior professional who does not treat her auto badly at all. You know what … !!! It broke the Rack & Piñon. She had luckily paid for the extended guaranty and the repair cost $3000.00 aprox. I hve had Hond and liked the qulity but things change and think it is not the best choice now. Toyota is providing a more robust support and design development.
Wow . . . thanks for sharing.
I had lane assist turned OFF before i drove it Im a better driver,I have eye balls in my head and have values to whats really going on.LolLol Good times.
Nice!
I sell Toyota's. The V6 Camry is the chit.
Agreed
Overpriced......enough said.
Not when you compare it to bmw and its a much better car. If you live in Cali. car are way over prized.
Aren’t all cars then?
the xse with 2 tone black camrys sell like hot cakes...
They do!
the problem with v4 xse is they lack powere going up hills in canyons especially in utah and speeding up in free way
Agreed
It’s an I4, not a V4
it is what it is compared to accords@@JohnnyUtah9173
