The pluses? Tremendous headlights, good handling and mpg, plus it's quite comfortable. BUT little things Toyota missed, or didn't care about, drive me nuts on this car. You cannot roll down the back windows at over 25 mph or your ears will be pulsated to oblivion (well that's not a little thing). Plus the back windows wind down at warp speed so cracking a window for the dog is basically distracted driving. There's a release clip in the trunk that won't stay in place, the front bumper cover is held in place with FRAIL, cheap plastic clips, (as in UNBELIEVABLY cheap, my toaster's crumb tray is held on better) and replacement is $$$$$$$. One of my clips is cracked from scraping on a parking space marker at maybe one mph (seriously). and the dealership basically blew me off wouldn't even attempting to reattach it. Sent me to a body shop. The four cylinder engine is NOISY and shifts are rough at times, the tranny sounds like it has 200K miles on it. Except the headlights and the safety stuff, my 1999 Camry was a FAR better built car. Wow, I am Mr. Buyer's Remorse. I hate to take a beating but I am already looking to get out of this car at 7.500 miles. Sad. Don't even get me started on the COMPLETELY useless navigation system. I even called and sat in my driveway for 20 minutes while a tech reinstalled it, a complete waste of time. The entire Toyota Entune system is garbage, a complete shock from Toyota.

Disappointed Owner of third Toyota

We bought a $37k 2018 Camry XLE Hybrid ($43k after tax, license, title, etc.) 8/26/2017, and quickly came to discover that the new Linux-based infotainment system (Entune 3.0 App Suite Connect/Scout GPS Link) are quite possibly the most slipshod software developed *anywhere* in the automotive world. The Entune software is written by Xevo (https://www.xevo.com/) near Seattle, and Scout GPS Link by TeleNav headquartered in Santa Clara, CA. The customer reviews on the Apple App Store and Google Play generously rate them just over one out of five stars, the vast majority of the thousands of reviews deservingly giving both software titles just one star. The latest issue is with the navigation portion of the system when paired with an iPhone with iOS 11.2, the overhead moving map + 3D moving map during navigation w/ voice directions are rendered completely broken because of a connectivity issue. Local Toyota dealers/service centers/product specialists haven't been informed that the problem is known by Toyota and TeleNav/Xevo, and out of ignorance try to blame the automobile owner's phone, their USB cable, some setting they changed, a botched user attempt to upgrade the Entune software, etc. – Anything that isn't covered by Toyota's warranty, or that could be construed an issue with the automobile. After pressing, I was eventually informed that service training on the 2018 models (which are complete redesigns) isn't even available yet, so service technicians/product specialists appear completely clueless. All that being said, the Scout GPS Link connectivity, *prior* to the iOS 11.2 issue was flakey and finicky, at best. You won't find anything on Toyota's site, but here is the TeleNav admission: https://telenav.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005848023-USB-Connection-Problems-for-2018-Toyota-Camry-and-2018-Toyota-Sienna Other issues include HD radio stations that constantly drop in areas where other cars don't have problems, and forget using the Bluetooth audio for phone calls (at least with iOS) – the echo heard on the other end makes the call unbearable. This is another problem known to Toyota since before September, 2017, and still has no viable resolution as of January, 2018 (Toyota says to turn down the volume so that the mic doesn't pick up the remote voice, but as you guessed, when the volume is low enough that the mic doesn't pick up the remote caller, you can't hear them either). Toyota was previously known for the high quality standards of the products that they engineered and sold, however, if we could return this car, or sell it without absorbing the massive new-car depreciation, we would in a heartbeat. Any year/model Toyota/Lexus that relies on Entune/Scout GPS Link should be recalled, as far as I am concerned, and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto offered as a free replacement for loss of use and the inconvenience of dealing with their utterly maddening infotainment system.

Needs major work on GPS and info center

We bought this 2018 Camry XLE late November 2018, and the Entune 3.0 apps suite has never worked properly. We are back to using our iPhone displays. The dealer has not been able to resolve this issue even after multiple long attempts. For this reason we can not recommend this car and really regret the purchase, no way out now, major frustration. This is a real problem for Toyota, they need to focus and resolve as other brands have.

Scout GPS Needs to Go

Toyota needs to add Android Auto/Apple Car Play to your Entune 3.0 in the 2018 Camry (All Trims). I am officially complaining about the lack of this feature. The Honda Accord has this as Standard on most of their lines, as well as Kia, Hyundai, etc. This is keeping me from purchasing this car. This is a deal-breaker between me and my local dealer. Bad move on Toyota. Scout GPS is the worst. Google how bad Scout GPS is. Also, having to pay for Scout GPS after 3 years is also a bad move. I am not buying a Camry because of Scout GPS and lack of Android Auto/Apple Car Play.
