I just test drove the 2010 V-6 XLE. All the write-ups on the car talk about how quiet it is. The engine is loud, the road noise is loud and I could hear all exterior noises as though I had the windows wide open. Next I drove a BASE 2010 Highlander on the same roads and was shocked at how much more quiet it was compared to the Camry. I will spend the extra cash for the Lexus ES 350! Any opinions????

Replying to: 210delray (Nov 10, 2009 5:19 pm) you really have to decide if you can afford the payments of a Lexus vs a Toyota: if money is no problem then jump on the ES350: it definitely was a little bit more quieter and the materials/fit and finish was better than in the camry, but the camry is still a really nice car for someone on a budget or who just wants a set and forget car to take them from point A to B no matter how insulated a car is, even such as a Lexus product, your still going to hear a slight bit of wind/road noise when your cruising along an interstate doing 70-80mph! |

It sounded like it wanted to run in every direction except the one it was designed to. Sorry all you Toyota fans, after owning 2 of them from 07 till just a few months ago, they are not that great of a car anymore. |

Replying to: acdii (Nov 11, 2009 6:00 am) You really should be in the Midsize forum, not here. That would be like me going on the Fusion forum and telling you how good the Camry is.  I will say that you are one of the few that has this opinion. What about all the reviews, which are not just one person on the net? In general, they say the Camry is one of the quietest for this class. |

Replying to: acdii (Nov 11, 2009 6:00 am) Often has a LOT to do with tires. My F/awd RX300 runs on nice and quiet, comfortably riding, summer use only, Bridgestone Turanzas throughout the year. Tire chains at the ready when/if needed. A can of rubberized undercoating discharged onto each tire well liner also helps tremendously.

Replying to: invest (Nov 11, 2009 11:32 am) also, a 4cyl or hybrid powertrain is always going to be louder than a V6 no matter what kind of car you have; the hybrid engines are especially loud and whinny sounding when in use and I'm not sure if that is what some of the other people were referring to |
