guys say hi to my first car, 2026 toyota camry xse dual tone with red interior. i’m going to black out all the emblems and get the windows tinted. anyone recommend any other cosmetic mods ? if you have the same car what is your favourite feature. i am absolutely in love with this car.

....and I miraculously caught it before all the oil leaked out and killed my engine! I was on the highway all weekend, and if it had blown out while driving highway speeds it would have absolutely destroyed my engine.

Yesterday, I ran a couple errands and when I parked at the library I smelled burning oil. Got out and immediately saw a catastrophic oil leak pouring out onto the street. Well it must have just started, because I checked the level and had lost less than a quart of oil, so I immediately called a tow truck rather than risk topping it off and limping home.

I already knew about the problematic rubber oil pipes in these engines; when I bought this van I checked the upper hose and it had already been replaced with the metal upgrade, so I figured the hidden pipe underneath must have been replaced as well. I guess I made an ass out of u and me, because I assumed wrong.

I'd usually do this repair at home since it's just a simple swap, but of course a car never breaks down at home and always when it's raining for a week so I had it towed to a mechanic. He doesn't really speak English, but he took one look at my car and immediately said "oil pipe, very common" and seemed to agree that I caugt it early enough to avoid any damage.

I should probably go and buy a lottery ticket today, because at the rate it was losing oil while under pressure I probably only had a couple minutes until it ran dry.

If any of you drive an older Toyota with the 2GR-FE, make sure your rubber oil cooler lines have already been upgraded to the newer metal ones! This known issue can and will absolutely destroy your engine!

Hi all - I am currently looking to buy a car that will mainly be used on weekends and day trips. To start, I’m 31, single guy, living in the northeast (so I want AWD). I plan to pay cash for this car and I budgeted up to 45k or so but obviously cheaper is better. Now, the options I thought to myself are to get a crown signia XLE, that’s 38 mpg, genuine leather seats, Lexus suspension, etc., I got them down to 42k vehicle selling price. Or, should I just go full on econobox car and get the Camry SE (48 mpg, softex leather seats) for $33k. That’s a $9k difference and I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it. Are the extra features, sound deadening, and nicer ride worth it or just drive the cheapest possible thing at 31? As mentioned, I’ll be paying cash for both so I can afford both and neither car will put me in a bad spot (I have other savings besides this). I just don’t know how the resale value on the crown signia will be compared to very strong for the Camry. What do you guys think? Save the money or live a little?

PS, I considered the rav4 but it was basically the same price for the XLE Premium as the crown signia so it didn’t make sense to go rav4 over crown signia (I feel like family’s might prefer the rav4 but again, I’m a single guy). I also looked at the crown sedan but I didn’t like the styling and if I’m paying up, I’d prefer a little more ground clearance for the northeast winters.

Hej alle,
Jeg skal have skiftet bremser på min Toyota Yaris Hybrid. 
Jeg køber selv alle reservedelene, men mangler en venlig sjæl eller mekaniker med værksted/garage og værktøj, der vil hjælpe mig med at skifte det til en fair pris.
Følgende skal skiftes:
Bremseskiver (bagpå)  ** **
Bremseklodser (bagpå)

Since October my check engine light for my 2016 Corolla has turned on 8 times, counting today. For the previous 8 times, it has been a bunch of issues. We checked and fixed O2 sensor, gas pump, gas cap, purge valve. Idky it has to bombard all of them in one month. I was stranded 3 times bc the engine refused to turn on, and we fixed. Literally fixed the purge valve not even 3 days before, and check engine light turn on again.. At some point when would this become a factory issue? My car is not even that old, it's cranking 95k miles right now. And I alr paid nearly 1k for the previous issues. Havent been able to use my baby normally

Hi All!

I want to start by saying I am not currently paying for the remote start subscription on the app.

I have recently started to use my Key Fob to remote start my 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, however, and have noticed some issues. For a week, everything was fine. I used the fob to remote start and when I unlocked the car, it turned off (like it’s supposed to). The last few times, however, I remote start and before I get out to my car, the car has already turned off and I can tell that it didn’t run for more than a few minutes as it’s still freezing and my windshield is still frozen solid. I probably start my car about 10-15 minutes before I plan on leaving.

I’ve done a bunch of research and I can’t figure out why this might be happening. Should I take it in to get looked at by the dealership? Is it user error?

Have my eyes on a 2003 Camry that looks pretty well maintained. Got into contact with the seller and only present issues are an exhaust leak and broken EVAP system. Consistent oil changes. What do you guys think? I need a daily driver for at least a year, wishing longer.

Apparently Toyota/Lexus for those with the pre-Arlene infotainment systems have an option to support Apple Music for integrated streaming and Amazon Music whereas for Arlene based systems you use Spotify.

99% of people are probably going to”use CarPlay” and that’s fine and dandy but just wanted to let you know of its removal as I was not notified of its removal to link from the apps.

On the plus side they no longer charge for integrated in the premium now, reducing the cost from $25 back to $15.

Discuss.

6 months ago I decided that my 2010 Highlander limited finally needed to go. Such a great reliable vehicle. And still solid at 16 years old. Lived that thing so much.

So I Test drove the Camry , RAV4 , and Corolla cross hybrid. And finally decided on the Corolla cross hybrid. Drove great. Way more affordable than the others. And very roomy in the drivers seat which is important to me at my size.

I wanted a 2025. One year old. Around 30k miles. So i used all the normal car buying websites to punch in what i want and have them looking for me.

That finally happened this Saturday.

Obviously I’ve only had it one weekend. But I really like it. A step down in over all space from the Highlander. But the cabin space for the driver is actually more room if you can believe that. (Keep in mind my Highlander was 2010 limited. So they may be bigger now)

I’m 6’3” and 270. And it’s very roomy and spacious and Comfy. And I get the added seat height for ease of entry and exit over the Camry or Corolla. Which was important to me. And it still drives like a car.

All the base Corolla LE Hybrid FWD's in my area are selling before theyre done being built. I've had dealers tell me I can make a $1000 deposit and wait 4-5 months for one. This is the model I would prefer (no fancy smart key or upgrades, just basic). However, there seems to be plenty of AWD versions available that I could drive off the lot with tomorrow. I don't really need the AWD but I also dont want to wait 5 months because my current daily driver (2002 Honda Civic) has bad transmission issues and needs to be sent to the junkyard sooner rather than later. I'd rather not get stranded on the side of the road and still be 2 months out from getting my new car. The price difference is about 3-6k depending on which features the AWD has. Looking to see if anyone has any input on my situation or experienced similar supply issues in their area.

I'm looking for a new car to upgrade from my Peugeot 207, I'm looking for a good (Or better than my Peugeot 207 which is currently averaging 36.1MPG) economy petrol or petrol/hybrid and have come across this on CARZOO. Is this hybrid Auris reliable and would it be a sensible car to look at? I understand it's from Birmingham but surely not every car from there is terrible.. MOT history is not the best, but if there's proof of repairs I don't see why this would be a major issue.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m curious what my options are for an extended warranty or if one’s even worth it? I’m buying a 2021 Venza Limited from an Acura dealer so they don’t offer an extended warranty I don’t think.

Should I contact the Toyota dealership?

rear window broken, went to test drive it and it drove well. I heard 2007 is a bad year for solara though

... Or nah? I know they're hard to come by. Should I negotiate? Also asking for the premium package.

In June I had the two year service on my 2024 RAV4 hybrid. Shortly after the car started flashing multiple warnings and shut down on the highway! The dealership service department admitted it was due to them significantly overfilling the oil. Fast forward 1,700 miles later and the check engine light came on. Now they say the catalytic converter has failed. The car has 14,000 miles on it. I’m assuming this is a result of the issues back in June. Any reason to think differently? And are there other potential issues that could still arise? I wonder if I need a third party to check the car out. Would that help? Thanks for your knowledge.

My household of four is looking at a new Toyota vehicle. We’re currently looking at the Corolla Hybrid, Camry, RAV4, and the Crown Signia. I like the look of the Crown Signia out of the mentioned 4.

But the aforementioned Corolla Hybrid, Camry, and RAV4 are more affordable. I like the Crown Signia with its blend or reliability, efficiency, and luxury touches. Just planning what to buy for the future. What do you guys think?

For several weeks the Toyota App's Dashboard Lights Guide shows spinning cursors instead of the actual dashboard symbols. No amount of waiting changes the display. If I tap on one of them, the explanation comes up, but it is much less useful without the image. I've called the issue into the Toyota Brand Engagement Center, but that doesn't seem to have helped. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

To get to the Dashboard Lights Guide, tap Info -> Glovebox -> Dashboard Lights Guide.

Behold:

BTW, my car is a '25 Camry LE, in case that makes any difference.

I have an 07 Camry with 122,000 miles from the records I received I don't believe the transmission fluid has ever been changed. My question is if I change the fluid now should I put Valvoline MaxLife Multi-Vehicle Full Synthetic fluid in or Toyota Genuine WS Automatic Transmission Fluid? I would just drain and fill.

Title

I like the newer one better. The older RAV4 there isn't enough legroom.

Thinking of getting a dashcam fitted on my Toyota. Will a hardwired install void the warranty? And does Toyota Al Futtaim offer dashcam installation as a service, like tinting?

Any experiences appreciated. Thanks!

If any one got it done without voiding warranty pls let me know

How bad is this? This is the extent. Does Toyota sell the orange wire ends separately? Or does this need a costly new wire harness replacement?
