Photography + editing = great work, you are a good man

[sycowood]

I first watched one of your ram truck reviews from a few years ago, I started exploring your videos more and now whenever I'm bored I turn one on, I love how in depth you go and your overall production quality, thank you

[robertbaxter]

Simply, you do the best car reviews on YouTube. Extremely thorough. I really love the opening scene of all your videos where you go over top of the camera. Seeing how they tuck everything under the car is a thing of beauty. You touch on points that are important to the every day driver. And, when you throw in your night views that’s the entire package. Kudos Mike.

[deanbo]

Just order mine a week ago listed for 44, 800 it’s loaded. Great video Mike your video sealed the deal for the purchase.

[williamepstein]

I got the very same Camry except I went with the black leather interior. Love this car, my first hybrid Toyota. Mine out the door was just over $41k plus tax and title.

[charlesmcginness]

Love the exterior and interior colors as well as the wheels.

[gilbrook]

I feel this is an honest and informative review. Both good and less than perfect aspects of vehicle pointed out.

[BDuski]

Dude you had the same statement of the road runner ! Such relief! chasing a stand bird for 20 years hahahaha 😂

[Offensively-normal]

I got a pretty good deal on an SE. I am more confident and really starting to enjoy the car. Hybrids may be the best option right now. Guess I will find out.
Also. Loved the buyer guide.

[gilbrook]

Thx for sharing sticker Mike. Highest TSP for a 2025 Camry I’ve ever seen ($44, 119). Maybe your next video could be how to negotiate lower out the door price. Sticker price in stratosphere!

[toyotaofnorthcharlotte]

Great video! Love love love the 2025 Camry!

[djplonghead]

I still think the Prius is the most futuristic car made (except for maybe the cyber truck) but this Camry doesn’t look bad by any means.

[AboveItAllDroneShots]

I just got one yesterday and using the adaptive cruise and it pretty much drives by itself! Very impressive. I have been getting 42-45 mpg.

[williamepstein]

I also went with the blacked out emblems. Looks much better than the chrome ones.

[codr]

Hood steels provide improved stiffness and handling for drivers. My 2003 Camry has a steel hood.

[Thebuscommunityleader]

Great job and I am now consider buy this car.

[djplonghead]

We should get a full screen map in the gauge. 😊

Also, where is the energy flow screen?

[Fadic]

Is that another exposed high voltage rear cable? I hope Toyota learned their lesson with corrosion on that, or at least made it cheaper to replace.

I don’t understand why they can’t enclose/protect it.

[stevewise]

Toyota is ridiculous. Once you get the Premium Package that offers a lot of options that were previously included, the OTD I priced is 45k. It's a Camry!
