Disappointed that leather package is not all leather.
Still playing around with the Display Unit. Voice Recognition system does not work well.
The TPMS display shows 4 tires across the screen instead of the display with the outline of the car with the pressure value next to the respective tire.
How can you tell which tire corresponds to the display? The manual(s) nor the display do not identify the order of the readout.
What bothers me that dealerships are not friendly and deny this brain eating sound. I am 43 and had more than 8 diffrent cars including 3 Toyota cars but this never happened. hope more people will come forward to complain about this and Toyota will make a recall otherwise I have to keep a pair of ear plugs in the car.

sandman I hope you will understand English as you grow up, no rush !
Your message was a bit unclear, because it's basically just a rant against Toyota and the Camry, and doesn't really explain what issues you are having with your vehicle. You say there's a noise, but it isn't clear what kind of noise and where it's coming from. It's clearly still under warranty. When you went in to try to get it fixed, did you ride along with someone from the dealership so you could show them when & where the noise occurred?

Two other causes could be wrong tire pressure or the wheel alignment is off slightly.
Yes! The new SE gives me fatiguing feeling and headache on small bumps. This is a very uncomfortable experience. If you are buying an 2012 Camry SE, I suggest you do a test drive on freeway and on bumpy roads to see if you can endure this VERY annoying feeling. Enough drivers rise the issue, I think, Toyota may has to recall the 2012 Camry SE for the repair.
"... I only wish Toyota had worked similar magic with the suspension. It doesn't jar as much through potholes and ruts, but small bumps are felt in a fatiguing, ever-present rhythm."

@shawn68,
You are not alone, the new Camry SE actually gives me the uncomfortable vibration feelings and slight headache on the bumpy roads. I wish I knew this before I bought the car. Hope Toyota will fix the issue.
Camry LE with NO Added options - $21,050 + TTL.
Is this a good deal ?
Thank you in advance.
The tires that come on most new vehicles only have about 9/32 of tread depth. If you purchase the same tire from a tire dealer is will have around 11 to 13/32 of tread depth depending upon the manufacturer. These would probably give a smoother ride initially, however I not sure if they would help or make matters worse on grooved roads.
I would not recommend the Goodyear ComforTred Touring tires. I put a set on a 05 Honda CRV several months ago and had them removed several weeks later. They were the harshest riding tire I have ever experienced and exterior of the tires looked like they were made in defective molds. These tires were even worse than the Bridgestone tires that came on the vehicle. Fortunately I purchased them at Discount Tire who let me swap them for a set of Michelin Destiny tires.
Unless you drive on grooved roads all day long I would recommend you run these tires for a while to see if the ride improves. If you are lucky someone who has worked in the tire business for many years may read this post and give you a good recommendation.
Does anyone know if tire pressure warning system (or tire pressure monitoring system tpms) is standard on all 2012 Camrys in Canada?
Thanks.
That's fine, thinking that the 6.1" touch screen will show me the tire pressue. When I press the "CAR" button next to the screen, it takes me right to the fuel consumption screen without asking if I want tire pressure information or trip information as per the owner's manual.
Interestingly, when I asked a service advisor at a dealership for a winter tire quote, he asked if I wanted to put tpms sensors in the winter tires. So I think the car must have tpms.
Does my car has tpms??
As someone who has been in manufacturing management for decades, I can say that this noise could be an issue, as any brand new model could have something like this, but Toyota will come up with a solution, put out a TSB, and then your dealer will correct it. Fortunately, it is only a noise, not a safety problem, and not something that will prevent you from getting somewhere.
Bottom line - yes, it is annoying, but you have to expect that something may need to be corrected on the very first year model of a car (made by any manufacturer), especially this early in the model year. I avoid first year models for this reason, if possbile. Hang in there, they will get it corrected. I had one car that was a new model year, it had a few rattles, but was corrected, no problems after that! It was annoying and inconvienent, but not unexpected.

IMO, this is one BIG step BACKWARD.
1) automatic light: took a while to kick on when driving into dark area and did not turn off even at sunny day
2) one touch window at driver side did not work all the time. Need more touches!
Anyone has the same problems?
Thanks!
Was it a 4 CYL or an 6 CYL Camry? XLE?
Thanks,
I drive about 100 miles a day and I'm happy with the 4 because I saved a few grand up front and I save daily on gas. She will need to drive both to be sure. If she has a heavy foot then she may like the 6 better. The 6 is a beast.
I am new to this but your post seems very informative. May I know what was the invoice price when you paid $22,400? Does the OTD include sales tax if yes may I know how much was it?
Also kindly bear with me for this rough analysis:
Say I want to get a 2012 Toyota Camry LE, with automatic / power driver seat. The breakdown is as under (per Edmunds):
Invoice = $20,588 + $392 (automatic seat) + $760 (destination fees) = $21,740
MSRP = $22,500 + $392 + $760 = $23,652
Now say if I pay $22,500 (somewhere in the middle of Invoice and MSRP) is that the OTD price? Is this a good price OTD or should I aim for $21,740 - $900 = $20,840?
Now in order to figure out how much I end up paying, I should add:
Sales Tax (6.5 - 7.5% since I am in Ill)
Title Fees - $65 (for Ill)
License Plates - $78 (for Ill)
Is there anything else I should add to get the final price?
Then finally of course I need to get an insurance which would be ~$1000 - $2000 depending on my record?
Thanks!
I posted under the wrong heading hence posting once again, apologies for the repeat.

Is this good deal ? i really appreciate your feedback
I am looking at a 2012 XLE, and debating 4cyl vs V6. It is hard to find a 4cyl with the JBL system, but many V6s have it. In either case, it seems that you have to get the whole blind spot/safety connect package with the JBL system, which makes it a pricy upgrade, and I really don't want those features.
The basic Entune set up has six speakers and a sub, but no amp from what I can tell. JBL has eleven speakers I think.
So...any feedback? Who has listened to both systems? Is it worth the price? Keep in mind...for the most part I drive alone, and am jamming to tunes. LOL And I despise the base system in my Mom's 2010 LE. The JBL system in my 2010 SE is lightyears ahead.
