      Give me a Mazda 6 2.5 Turbo, or Accord 2.0T Sport with 6spd manual please. I like the soon to be released Kia K5/Optima better also, especially the GT version, which should be equivalent to the Sonata N-Line. I am being honest, "no line."

    I've owned a 2011 Sonata for a few years now and everyone always thinks it's less than a year old because the style has held up well over time. It's spacious and get great gas mileage. Also has some tech features the Accord and Camry of the same year never had. Love it! The new one is so futuristic- that Camry dashboard and especially the gauge cluster look so dated.

    • @moogle68
      @moogle68 2 роки тому

      I've always thought the last 2 Gens of the Camry have looked FANTASTIC, especially some of the performance trims. I can see how someone could think they are over styled/crazy looking, but I have never actually met anyone that has said that out loud, meaning that's probably a minority opinion that has more to do with subjective preferences than the objective quality/appeal of the design. I also think the Sonata looks amazing, and never noticed the Catfish similarities to the front end until it was pointed out to me. Even after seeing the similarities, I have to be intentionally trying to notice that comparison for it to come into my head, which means it wins for me in looks both inside and out. The ONLY drawback to the Sonata is not having a single trim with an engine that's even *remotely* engaging. I haven't seen the N-Line version, and don't know what/if any changes have been made to the engine for it, but if it increases HP/torque, bore size, or low down torque availability then that would make it almost perfect value for money, in my mind.

    The Camry is an astounding car and that is coming from someone that owns a W211 E350 and E92 328 Stage 1 coupe.
    I drove a 2022 over 2000kms through Vermont, New Hampshire and Upstate NY and was utterly relaxed, comfortable and in control The car handled the twisting notches of Vermont with confidence, carved tight backroads with minimal body roll, had enough power to do passing maneuvers at 75mph+ and on top of that, got incredible fuel economy. At elevation and sustained speeds of 70+mph, I saw 30mpg continuously, even touching 35mpg..
    The seats were unbearably comfortable, on par with the best BMW thrones, the tech worked flawlessly and the transmission was quick reacting and unobtrusive. Even the engine sounded good, for a 4 cylinder and power was more than adequate even driving spiritedly and through the Green and White Mountains where elevations push 1200m+.
    Lastly, the base sound system was completely satisfactory. The JBL would be a good deal better, I'm sure but as someone who has the HK in the Mercedes and a tweaked Logic 7 in the E92, the Camry's audio quality was inoffensive and totally acceptable.
    I would buy one in a heartbeat!

    I'm a pretty big Hyundai fan -- from the early 2000s. It's nice to see what they are doing now, although I miss the simplicity of their older cars. That said, if / when Toyota makes a Camry with AWD it could be a gamer changer. Aside from Subaru, with their CVTs, you really can't get an AWD sedan unless you go into the luxury market. Although I suppose the new Mazda3 would be an exception to that (in the compact category). Anyway, it's great to see this trend. I really love AWD -- don't think I can ever go back to FWD or RWD only. I live in the rainy pacific northwest and don't like one-wheel-peels when I take off. And AWD is a nice option for going up into the mountains (for skiing) or out into the state parks (for shooting guns). hehe.

My search criteria were: 4 door sedan, AWD, heated seats/steering wheel, and red color. It having 4 cyl ecoboost w/ 220 HP is a bonus. Will need to replace in 2021 with same spec. Good to hear the camry will offer it, as she drove a camry for 8 years before the fusion and liked it (but it had the 6 cyl.)
