Replying to: dmathews3 (Oct 02, 2009 1:31 pm) Kindly be advised that the Lexus requires premium gasoline in its V6 for maximum performance, while the Camry V6 recommends regular gasoline. Gas mileage is rated by the EPA at 19 / 27 mpg -- city / highway for the Lexus, (which only comes with a V6), while the Camry XLE V6 is rated at 19 / 28 mpg. (On my 2007 V6 XLE I have reached 36mpg on the highway.) Despite costing almost $35,000.00 the ES350 Lexus comes with a cloth interior as standard. A leather interior is a part of a $1,280 premium pkg. on the ES350, but the Camry XLE with a V6 has standard leather seats. A fully leaded XLE tops out at about $32, 495.00, while you can load an ES350 to reach $44,000.00. Even though Lexus is a very nice vehicle, my "EGO" is not big enough to own a Lexus. The cost of premium fuel is enough to keep my driving an XLE Camry. Before purchasing my new XLE Camry, I stopped at a Lexus dealer and I looked at a one year old ES350. YES, it was a vey nice vehicle, but when I looked at cost of maintenance at the dealer, I decided to purchase it's cheaper cousin. Best regards. --------- Dwayne

I suspect that the ES running on premium will only show improved FE, comparitively, if the driver is often in "boy-racer" mode vs not. |

I have nothing against Toyota but I do when someone describes one as a luxury car.

Dmathews, djm2 gave his opinion of his satisfaction with his car and he's entitled to that. As even you say, it may have everything he wants - and that's apparently all that matters to him. You don't have to agree with him, but this discussion is about repair issues with the 2007 Camry. It's not the place to get into a smack down about what constitutes a luxury car. Masterpaul1, there are better places to seek the answers to your questions than this particular discussion. Thanks to both of you for letting this discussion stay on track. |

Replying to: vizyo (Aug 26, 2008 5:04 pm) What's shakin?? Do you still have your Camry? I, too, live in Canada (St. Catharines, ON) and have been VERY disappointed by the oil consumption (amongst other things) on my 4cyl/auto Camry. I'm using three or four times as much oil as my '97 Camry ever used and I'm not even going to talk to the dealer. (They were such a**holes about doing the transmission TSB, I don't even want to deal with them anymore.....and the car's way past warranty age/mileage) Toyota is losing billions of dollars now (see headlines in every major newspaper in the world) and if they gave their heads two shakes, (or, heaven forbid, asked a couple of customers for their opinions) they soon find out that it's more than economic problems that are causing their grief: it's piss-poor customer relations caused by bad product with bad service. They've screwed us once.......shame on them......now never again.......good for us!! |

Replying to: notmybmw (Oct 07, 2009 10:02 am) I am interested in the oil consumption issue on your 07 / 4 cylinder Camry. As you know from my previous posting, I own a 2007 V6 XLE Camry. It now has 54,000 + miles and I have this vehicle serviced at the dealer every 2,500 miles. (My choice!) I never use oil between oil changes. My selling / servicing dealer suggests using an oil additive BG / MOA. I have been using this product in the oil since the vehicle was new. Engines burn oil for the following reasons: 1.) Bad valve seals. 2.) Worn valve guides. 3.) Pressurized crankase due to a clogged PCV valve and / or breather system. 4.) Blow-by from worn piston rings. 5.) The wrong oil in the engine. 6.) Fuel getting into the oil. SUGGESTION: 1.) Change you oil and filter. 2.) Be sure that you are using the correct oil as specified by the manufacturer. 3.) Take a sample of the old oil and have it analyzed to see if there is fuel in the oil. 4.) Keep an accurate record as to the mileage and the amount of oil used. 5.) Replace the PCV valve with a new Toyota PCV valve. 6.) Check your engine for sludge! Best regards! --------- Dwayne
