#22 of 81 Re: Suggested Title Change For This Forum [beantown] by 210delray Oct 26, 2006 (1:07 pm)
Replying to: beantown (Oct 26, 2006 12:34 pm) Yes, this is something to ponder, but the rear test is primarily a measure of the chances of whiplash injury. This is nothing to sneeze at, but not a life-and-death situation as simulated by the frontal and side crash tests.   BTW, I have an '05 XLE with the 4-cylinder, and it's not underpowered by any means (unless you're used to big V8s or high-strung sports cars). A teenager can still get into trouble with the 4 but not as quickly as with the V6.
#23 of 81 Automatic door locking by wwayles Oct 31, 2006 (7:17 am)
Have an 07 Camry LE; how do you change the automatic door locking from "shift" to "speed" ( 12 mph)control?   The method in the manual doesn't seem to work. Replies to this message: themdtn (Nov 02, 2006 4:03 pm)

Replying to: wwayles (Oct 31, 2006 7:17 am) Yes, the procedure in the manual does work assuming user's applied the e-brake.

Tried w/ e-brake; got double click, thought all OK. Got in to drive, shifted out of Park, snap went the door locks as before-no speed locking. Try as I could, no more double clicks for Park or Speed activation. What next? The dealership is new and they are clueless. Replies to this message: themdtn (Nov 03, 2006 4:24 pm)

Replying to: wwayles (Nov 03, 2006 2:54 pm) I think the 2 modes are independent. This means that you'll need to disable the shift-trigger mode first, then enable the speed-trigger mode later. Let us know how it goes.

Gave up, went to the dealer. The 'techie' got some printouts of the instructions and spent 15-20 minutes getting it to work. You're right, the shift mode must be cancelled before going to the speed mode. Works fine now,thanks for the help. Great car so far; almost 35 mpg last fillup.
#28 of 81 Canadian 2007 Car Of The Year Contenders. by gmontagew Nov 09, 2006 (9:17 am)
I found the following list of contenders for the 2007 Canadian Car Of The Year. The MSN site shows all the top contenders being evaluated by the Association Of Automotive Journalists. I note that Toyota/Lexus is well represented, and the Camry is a contender in its class. It certainly makes me feel mine was the right choice. Hope this doesn't take too much room.   2007 CANADIAN CAR AND TRUCK OF THE YEAR CONTENDERS SMALL CAR under $18,000 Honda Fit LX Hyundai Accent GS Premium Nissan Versa hatchback Pontiac Wave Toyota Yaris sedan SMALL CAR over $18,000 Dodge Caliber SXT Hyundai Elantra GLS Nissan Sentra Suzuki SX4 VW Rabbit 2.5 FAMILY CAR $22,000 - $30,000 Chrysler Sebring Touring Kia Magentis LX Nissan Altima 2.5 L Toyota Camry LE FAMILY CAR over $30,000 Kia Amanti Nissan Maxima Saturn Aura Toyota Camry Hybrid VW Passat wagon LUXURY CAR under $50,000 Infiniti G35X sedan Lexus ES 350 Lincoln MKZ PRESTIGE over $75,000 Audi S8 Jaguar XK convertible Lexus LS 460L Mercedes-Benz S 550 SPORTS/PERFORMANCE under $50,000 Acura CSX – Type S MazdaSpeed3 Saturn Sky Redline Volkswagen GTi 2.0T SPORTS/PERFORMANCE over $50,000 Audi RS 4 Audi S6 BMW 335Ci BMW M-Coupé Ford Shelby GT500 Lexus GS 450h CONVERTIBLES Audi A4 2.0T cabriolet Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Pontiac G6 convertible VW EOS 2.0 T PICKUPS Chevrolet Avalanche Ford Sport Trac XLT 4x4 Cadillac Escalade EXT SUV/CUV under $35,000 Dodge Nitro SLT Ford Edge Honda CRV LX AWD Jeep Compass North Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4-door Mazda CX-7 Saturn Vue Green Line Toyota RAV4 V6 Sport SUV / CUV $35,000 - $60,000 Acura RDX Chevrolet Tahoe Dodge Aspen Limited Lincoln MKX Suzuki XL7 AWD Toyota FJ Cruiser SUV / CUV over $60,000 Acura MDX Audi Q7 4.2 Premium Cadillac Escalade Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer MAX GMC Yukon Denali Lincoln Navigator Mercedes-Benz GL Class
#29 of 81 Consumer Reports 2007 Car Preview by gmontagew Nov 12, 2006 (5:32 am)
After reading this I'm still feeling good about our Camry! Some Detroit products are doing better though.   http://www.detroitnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061109/AUTO01/611090364/- - - 1148/AUTO01 Replies to this message: dragondraw (Nov 16, 2006 7:05 am) gmontagew (Nov 17, 2006 8:07 am) barronc (Mar 10, 2007 6:45 pm)

Replying to: gmontagew (Nov 12, 2006 5:32 am) Thanks to the forum, I'm on my way to have the TSB EG056-06 done as soon as possible. As for the car, I4 5sp, LE, my wife is delighted with it, and as I drive it on longer trips, so am I (about 9,000 miles now.) I'm an old 1950s-60s hot rodder, and the power is more than adequate, (if not like the old 39 ford coupe with the small block chevvy, but she HATED that one!) The only reason for the TSB is the cruise control habit of dropping to 3rd with about 4500 rpm when pulling some grades, but if it doesn't fix the problem, we like the car enough to just "live with it" This is our first Import other than some British sports cars in the late 60s. Probably not the last! Replies to this message: gmontagew (Nov 17, 2006 8:07 am) barronc (Mar 10, 2007 6:45 pm)

Replying to: dragondraw (Nov 16, 2006 7:05 am) Our experience since we bought the new Camry in August has been good. No evidence of any of the glitches a few others seem to be having. Personally, I believe much of this transmission business stems from differences between DBW controlled 5 and 6 speeds, and older 3 and 4 speed transmissions. There are noticeably different characteristics between the two, and I think much of the hype around the issue results from perceptions that "something is wrong because it's different".
