I figured I'd stop by and say hi. I traded in my 2007 Charger R/T two weeks ago on a brand new 2011 Camry SE. With gas mileage and upkeep becoming a major issue in my monthly cash flow, I decided that a change was needed to make the changes necessary to buy a house this year.
This is my first "New" car and I love it. Granted, there was huge difference going from a 5.7L Hemi to the 2.5L of Fury, but I'm not at all upset about the difference in power. Its offset by the huge weight difference and better handling. The Camry is much more "Manageable", especially in Minnesota where snow is a 5 month presence. Being able to simply back out of a driveway, makes life much more enjoyable.
I've never owned anything that wasn't domestic, but I'm already planning on switching to another Camry when the lease is up! Being able to drive over bumps and imperfections in the road with out hearing the dash creak and moan is something that I never imagined to exist. At first I was worried that I would get annoyed by a buzzing "Little Four Banger" but this car is whisper quiet and super smooth.
In the end, I'm paying less for insurance, less on the car note, and less on gas. I couldn't be happier.
I would love to post pictures, but I think our final few snow falls are actively falling.
So for now, I have one of the day I picked it up.
I had the dealer install 50% Tint and a Clifford remote start. That's probably all that's going to happen at the moment but who knows
Let us know all about yourself and your car. Break the ice in here.
