Hello everyone and welcome to car confections
Today I've got a 2010 Toyota Camry LE in black
Hello everybody, so this is going to be a little bit of an impromptu kind of thing
but as you guys know with this Tesla purchase
It is time to bid farewell to my previous car this 2010 Toyota Camry now
I haven't spoke a whole lot about this on the channel since it was kind of an older product
but I figured
Before we get rid of it should go ahead and kind of talk to you guys about it
Give it a little farewell review if you want to call it that so without further adieu
I'll go ahead and go through a few of the features of it show you guys how it held up
And explain if anything is wrong with it
Now I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that you've probably seen one of these cameras around somewhere
So I could have pointed out too much. But of course in 2010, that's where you got this refresh grille with a slightly different design
This is the LED trim level. So we've got just the halogen headlights all this is halogen
Of course, there are no fog lights anything like that!
Now as far as specifically to this vehicle
One thing I do want to point out
it's one of the only issues that I've had owning the vehicle is just setting out in the sunlight now that it's
What about ten years old. Yeah, 2010 so it's ten years old
The front and the rear bumpers have faded
And they faded at a different rate from the rest of the body now coming around to the back here
One thing you might be able to notice if you have a really keen eye is that something slightly different about this wheel?
That's because I've lost a hubcap
When the tires were being rotated, they didn't reach the hubcap very well
So as soon as I took off, it rolled off somewhere on the road
So I did have to replace that hubcap with a different one which looks pretty much identical
But just a slight difference there something to keep in mind though
If you're looking at this generation of Camry with the hubcaps, you know, be careful make sure they're fully fastened on
Then around back here what you'll be looking at with the refreshed. That was when you got the lady taillights
course halogen turn signal nothing really special going on back here and
just like in the front like I was saying the bumper is kind of faded a little bit and that's particularly pronounced right here at
This separation on the fender. This is where you can really notice it the most
What you're probably most interested in is the interior and how well that's held up so we'll go ahead and get inside now, of course
This is the LE We just have the regular Toyota key
I made a video about replacing the battery had to replace the battery on that a couple times
Now, of course your mileage will vary but
You know, I I was the second owner my the other owner was my mother
She's also very gentle on the vehicle. So
Everything is hell about very very well inside this cabin
Especially the seats really a fan of this. You don't see this type of cloth in many cars anymore
everyone ops now for kind of like a
Rougher more like nylon II type of material. This is a genuinely really soft and really
Comfortable seat and you know, sometimes I actually do miss this seat. It is indeed a little bit more comfortable than in the Tesla
Looking over here at the door trim. You just have that same cloth over here didn't get any stains or anything on it
It does collect some limps though
All four of the windows wore one touch automatic, which was a pretty big deal back in the day
And then when you have the power seat and believe it's a way power dusting with lumbar support
Now by my standards it is quite dirty in here, but we'll go ahead and just kind of glance around the cabin
now as far as like the materials all this was a soft touch dashboard this actually was
Recalled some people had problems with the dashboard bubbling up never had any types of issues
With this specific car and it was sitting outside for the last about five years
As far as all this lower stuff this is all hard touch I didn't see nothing came loose or anything
You know Toyota's pretty good about that stuff. So everything is very very solid still
Nothing misaligned or anything like that
Go ahead and start it up here
So as you can see here we just now cross the
70,000 mile mark, so this is I a pretty low mileage number for vehicle this old
But I'm sure you're probably noticing
Dun-dun-dun of the check engine light is on
So go ahead and talk a little bit about that doesn't have anything to do with why I'm getting rid of it
basically
We've had I had a scanned or whatever. It is a charcoal canister issue
So I something belongs with the emission system
It does not affect how the car drives at all it has been on for quite some time
but it was never something that I wanted to repair since I didn't know I was gonna get a new car soon and I would
Rather just poke the money towards in fact
Let's see as far as the steering wheel
This is another area that tends to get you know worn out looks like it's in a really good shape
Of course, this is not a leather material. This is hard
So it's a you know more difficult to stain or wear out with this type of material
As far as the different stocks, they're a little worn on the ends just from turning them on and off over
Here in the middle you just have the basic display here there wasn't ever any type of screen that was offered in this
Generation of the camry unless you put it in aftermarket. We just left everything stock
We do have bluetooth on this that was an extra cost option back in
2010
But it's definitely nice that bluetooth is on board since it was able to pair my phone and whatnot. Now another thing though
Little things like this. You don't notice if you have a
Newer vehicle, but you won't have a charging USB port
There's just a no port that has enough power to charge a phone
So you would have to get one of these little adapters
I took this from Mason's Elantra to allow me to charge my phone whenever I was driving this car daily
Also got this accessory here this is a little clip clip into the vent hold my phone up there for navigating
I want to hopped into the back more or less. It's the same difference
maybe even less where I mean almost
Nobody has ever really set back here much at all. So these seats are flawless
Nothing is stained or scratched up or anything. This is the only thing I can point out. This is also related to the
Heat this setting in the sunlight for the five years that I've had it setting outside of this
Just kind of I guess heated up and started to peel off
but you know pretty minor as far as
A car interior goes and here's a good white look at everything
But I have to say really I'm very impressed by how gracefully everything aged especially inside the cabin
But also on the outside there's really nothing wrong with it. Just a few little scratches
And then those bumpers that have faded a little bit over time
All those things are pretty much to be expected since this is a ten year old car
So we're talking about this battery. This is battery from the factory with that
It's pretty neat that it doesn't look like it's in pretty rough shape at this point
So there's 18 year-old batteries
But anyways
I'm just going to go ahead and conclude I will apologize
for the video quality if we don't have all of our full equipment here with us and like I said
This was pretty much an impromptu thing. I just wanted to kind of revisit this, you know before before it's gone forever
So I mean to conclude I've had this car for five years and you haven't seen much content on the YouTube channel
and that's basically because
There hasn't been anything wrong with it. Thank goodness
There's just been nothing to report
As far as like an ownership experience and stuff has just been routine oil changes and just regular quality driving
you know, this car has a reputation for being kind of boring but it also is
Extremely extremely comfortable and it has always served
Mesa and I Mason and i's purposes
It's been on lots of short and long trips including a road trip all the way to Miami which was over 16 hours
You know and overall it's just been a great high quality car
All right, so let's go ahead and take a look at the exterior of the vehicle
The headlamp
That newly revised grille for 2010
There's where the foglamps would be on higher trend levels
In the rear we've got LED taillights
Camry badging
Higher trim levels, this is a made of a aluminum
All right, so let's go ahead and get in check it out
Cup holders
Storage bin
This car has a upgrading the radio
You've got your window is automatic your rear armrest
And give your Center
With cupholders
You got a nice storage place this is where the rear climate control would be on a higher model
Set this area for the pipe magazines
The trunk you can open by using the key just hold down this button
And it opens it up
The family's trunk is 15 cubic feet, which is really nice. You can store a lot of things right here
It is illuminated and we have a we have a cargo net in here for groceries is an option
Sorry about that
You can also extend it
If those boxes lockable as you can see
It is aluminum
You got a lot nice little storage compartment here I put like coins and stuff if anyone
Also, I adore adore store me I think we find it useful to put hand sanitizer in there
Get your lock unlock your automatic window
