@@b.e.409 I've been researching purchasing Lexus ES 300/330 from the same generation as the 05 camry. I"ve seen other videos saying the Lexus ES series is an upgraded camry. Supposedly, the ride is more comfortable and smoother than the camrys. Depending on the mileage, the prices are almost the same.
Yes they are. Funny thing is, though, three weeks after I write that comment my Camry made me mad and blew its head gasket! The back three head bolts stripped out; super common issue on the first generation of that 2.4 4 cylinder. But I am going to keep the car anyway and try to forgive it lol
Man, that is sad. Supposedly, the 2.4s weren't supposed to have that issue unless the engines were overheated. Mine never overheated but stripped those back three bolts out anyway. It started as a gurgling/waterfall noise when starting the vehicle on a cold morning that would go away after one or two accelerations, then gradually became worse and worse until it was constantly making the noise. When coming to a stop, there was this Niagra Falls-like noise that was highly disconcerting. Then, it finally blew the head gasket. Anyway, as frustrated as I am with that Camry, I still know better than to give up on it entirely. That was just a mistake that Toyota made and they later fixed, so I can't hold it against them too hard being the first year of that car. I decided to fix it. Should have several hundred thousand miles of life left afterwards, I hope 😂
@@skippercow Clean, clean clean. Vacuum it weekly. Use leather conditioner on the seats weekly. Wipe the dashboard with microfiber dust mit. Nothing special just got to keep the dirt out of the leather or it will dig its way it and damage the surface. Also this may sound silly but don't drag yourself across the seat when you climb in and out. I make it a point to LIFT myself off the driver seat every single time I climb in and out. It has kept the leather from wearing away and exposing the foam. Seen lots of perfectly good seats that wear out just because people pull themselves across the seat.
I just bought a 2005 Camry XLE V6 as my second car. Overall, the built quality is very good, except for the cheesy fake wood trim, and the leather seats are decently comfy, though the cloth seats of this gen are definitely better. There's plenty of rear seat legroom. The radio and CD tape player works awesome, the controls and displays are top notch. The trunk is huge. My biggest beef with this Camry is just how light and lifeless the steering feel is. Compared to the heavy steering of my old '05 Grand Prix, which I loved, steering this car akin to driving through oatmeal. The best things about this car are its supremely smooth V6 and great ride quality. Oh, and the brakes on the XLE are excellent.
Yes steering is a thing you have to get used to little feel but it is sedan not sports sedan. I just recently put powerstop drilled slotted rotors and pads all 4 corners, even better than stock. I tend to brake late and hard and warp front rotors. To many yrs on bikes have made me a hard braker. Almost like I am in race lol. Gf says I am going to die if brakes ever go out, I said nope with camry just gonoff road and deal with it lol
This guy don die! Great space, smooth drive and comfy with low cost. I got the 04 with a 98kmiles on it. It’s 160k now and still fires down pretty nice as when i got it. ❤
Well! I was crashed twice at different times... I still repaired it on both occasions, because it had no problem mechanically speaking, but for my type of work, I already needed something more modern. If it hadn't been for that, I would still have it... it will always be one of my favorite generations. In my family we have had all generations of Camrys! to this day. 1982-2022. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I bagged a 05 v6 XLE 236000 for 1200 august! Ive put $1900 of maintenance work into it. pads and rotors, alternator, Muffler, sparks plugs, battery and Struts (4). It only gives me 21.7mpg that's about 350 miles per full tank to gas light coming on but Id rather this than a 500 car note plus $125 full coverage insurance. nice video!
Es simplemente un auto premium para las masas, sin embargo, es una belleza soñada para cualquier amante del buen gusto mecánico y automotriz en general, saludos y gran video, my friend.
This specific car is so reliable. I would definitely recommend this car for anyone is trying to get their first car. And it’s also budget friendly. 😊❤.(kinda wanna get it)
I much prefer this interior design. Designed by adults for adults (i despise the 'minimalistic' touchscreen + piano black plastic interiors of modern vehicles).
If you own one of this generation, don’t trade in. Keep it !
This car isn’t even breaking a sweat while merging on the highway! I’d reckon it’d be quite easy not to notice oneself speeding!

Got a 2002 camry xle with the 4cyl and 118k miles, interior is mostly flawless, its turning into my new favorite car 😊
Does it burn oil excessively?
@Aaron-fb6mb not at all, it's an early gen with the steel piston rings
@@AgencyIsland hell yeah
Very reliable cars. Have a 4 cylinder version (XLE) with 210k miles that looks every bit as new as this one and runs great, too. Amazing cars.

What did you do to maintain the look of the car keeping it looking new?

Nice car. Still will outlast many other brands if taken care of properly. This Camry is so quiet too!
She has obtained many miles since this video but still runs the same as it was earlier.

The 1MZ v6 engine was amongst the legendaries and a properly maintained one can easily go over 1 million miles!
@davey3710600k on my rx300 i’ve daily driven for years now no ticks no leaks no nothing and the most major work i’ve ever had to do was knock sensors
Same drivetrain as es 300 lexus bullet proof smooth and lasts 335k and counting on mine
@davey3710yep been done more than a few times. I have seen one myself
Meaning of MZ?
I have a 2002 exact package 206k miles.. Just got back from a 2500 mile trip in it, hands down the best car I have ever owned..runs smooth as silk.
I had that 2006 Camry xle, black... a year ago I bought the 2015 Camry... and I still miss that one
Curious to why you decided to trade in the ‘06?

Why on earth were these never sold in Europe 😭
A nice, no-nonsense V6 sedan
@GyoubuMasataka Europeans usually never get cars that has big engines.

Good video but the audio is way to quiet. If you fixed that then it's perfect.
Turn the volume to max or a bar before max
@@ShamarTheGuy Yeah but it's still quiet. I've never had to do this on any other car video.
If this were a drink it would be Lexus Lite
The perfect car ❤
Acura's are aligned
What kind of mpg do the V6’s get compared to the 4 cylinder?
From personal experience, I can get anywhere from 29-31mpg highway, 24-26mpg combined, low end is 22mpg city.
That’s a nice Camry
