Feedback on Camry 3.0 V6

**ILuvDetailing** · July 24th, 2004 03:03 PM

Any feedback on this car?

Here are the features:
- 3.0 V6 VVTi 1MZ-FE Powerplant
- 212Hp * 5800rpm, 298 Nm of torque at 4400rpm
- 5 speed automatic transmission
- HID Projector Headlamps w/ auto-leveling function
- LED tail lamps
- 17" wheels on 215/55R17 tires
- leather seats, power adjustable seats for front and rear
- tri-color optitron instrumentation
- wood and leather trims
- 4-wheel ABS with EBD and Brake Assist
- dual front and side airbags
- whiplash protection headrests

All this for a measly Php1,680,000, looks like they're starting to bring in the bigger displacement engines. I wonder what the mileage of this baby is.

definitely lakas sa gas naka v6 yan eh

3.0 VVT-i. The engine will be smooth and torqy, lakas yan sa hatakan, even though its a VVT-i 3.0 malakas pa rin yan sa gas, especially when the egine crawls in manila traffic

V6 are meant for cruising speeds.

i would expect 5.0 km/L on average in the city, maybe up to 6.0 km/L if the car would consistently see only moderate traffic

Woah lakas nga, compared to the cefiro V6 which has the better engine. (I think mas maliit yung displacement ng cefiro V6)

The Cefiro is also offering a 3.0L V6 variant.

No fuel mileage comparison? Well with the 220K price difference looks like the Cefiro has more value for your money.

fuel economy should be quite similar for both engines...

15.0" front and 14.0" rear discs... why does the camry have such huge-diameter discs (i thought it was marketing doublespeak, but car & driver confirmed the data)? i mean, those are larger than the Mosler MT900's and the Porsche 911 Turbo's! hehe
