Wow, they must be tweaking the SE with the timing or some other computer chip mod. Does it do anything to the fuel economy?

From what I've seen on the net it is stated as the same mpg as the LE but that doesn't make sense so I'm not sure at this point.

The 2010 SE may have the new 2.7 I4 that the Venza has. We'll have to wait and see. KBB.com has not adjusted the new horsepower for any of the 2010 I4's.

You and kiawah were right on--I had the TSB-0069-08 done for the vibration issue and the matter is resolved. The mechanic who did it said it was the first he ever did on this problem. He did not even know what he corrected as he said it drove the same to him before he did it and after. I sure know the difference. Thanks.

Glad to hear everything worked out. Those two TSBs are very easy fixes for annoying problems.

Body Side Mouldings

I recently got Camry LE with heated leather seats in Atlanta GA for $20800 (OTD) , I was also interested in body side mouldings but dealer quoted me another $500 for the same. So I backed out . But I wanted to know
a) How good / effective are body mouldings ?
b) Can any body share as what is a good price to pay for the same
c) Alo is there any third party option ther than going to dealer.
Thanks

I got the body side moldings put on for less than $200. They are not going to protect you from everything, but they are better than nothing. I would negotiate the price with your dealer or try another dealer.

After thousands of miles finally performing right--I always wonder why these shifting aberrations are not discovered before retail, if exhaustive and complete road tests are performed. Do you have any knowledge about what type of road tests are performed on these vehicles and under what condition? Thanks

FWD and F/awd manufacturers who do not yet use a CVT, or the engine's HP/torque rating is too high for same, are trying to match the outstanding FE of a CVT using as many gear ratios as can be STUFFED in the small space allotted with a sideways engine.
Lots of compromises in order to NEVER reach the goal...

My understanding from what I have read of people who have had to replace a CVT tranny is they cost $6000 where as a 5/6 speed goes for about $3500 and the good old 4 speed for less than $2500.
