Q: How to use lower gears on the 2009 Toyota Camry LE?
I recently purchased an AUTOMATIC 2009 Toyota Camry LE. This car is NOT SEMI-AUTOMATIC but does have the lower gears of 4, 3, 2, and 1 under D. Is it okay to use these gears regularly to manually shift the engine? If so, at what rpm would you recommend shifting up and down?

A: With an auto tranny, it is best to just keep the tranny set for the D setting, so that the car can shift for itself. If you're asking about shifting gears yourself, it's not good for the auto tranny to be doing that like it's a manual transmission. Now, the gears are listed individually, and are there to be used if needed. But you shouldn't really pretend it's a manual transmission and drive that way all the time. Mucho Big Bucks have been spent by Toyota, and all of the car makers, to give the very best performance out of an auto transmission, so that you get the best ratio of performance and economy. The individual gears are there if they are needed under SPECIAL circumstances. Such as driving thru mountains, when going downhill for a long ways, you want to shift into lower gears, so that you don't have to use the brakes much, otherwise, you could actually overuse and overheat and over-destroy the brakes. That's why the 3 and 2 settings of the gears are avalable, especially the 2 setting. 1st gear is used only if you're going to be towing something for a short distance, or even if you need to try and get car out of snow or sand. I'm not sure about what rpms you should use to shift, because that pretty much depends upon what the redline is for each individual car. A higher redline means that each gear can go higher rpms. It's easier to find out by speed. 1st gear usually should be shifted around 10-15 mph, and usually tops out at 25. 2nd gear usually can be shifted at 25, and sometimes can go as high as freeway speeds, which is why it is the favorite gear to use when coming down from mtns, because the gear can go faster, yet has the torque available to keep car at lower speeds. But if your car is a 5 spd, the range of 2nd gear in your car may be lessened. 3rd gear will be good from 35 up to freeway speeds of 60-70 mph. But it's obviously best to run freeways at at least 4th gear, which can be shifted into even as low as 40 mph, or 45 mph. 5th gear is best only for constant freeway speeds. Have you ridden a 10 speed bike? YOu know it's easiest to start peddling when the gears are low, because the pedals move faster, and in shifting as you pick up speed, so that the pedals are still able to be used safely and correctly. It's exactly the same with a car transmission, whether auto or manual. So if you're thinking of using the single gears as if they were a manual tranny, I"d greatly suggest you NOT to do it. There's lots of extra gears and works inside an auto tranny that's not in a manual, and constantly moving the gears manually will wear the tranny out other than being done automatically. The tranny was built with it to be used automatically. So too bad you couldn't have gotten a standard tranny, but messing around wth the auto tranny like that will also mess up your warranty on your brand new car!!

A: not a good idea to do on a regular basis If you want to manually shift gears, why didn't you buy a manual? If you must shift manually, it depends if you want max performance or just fun. Either way, there won't be much improvement over leaving it in D

Q: What grade motor oil is best for 2009 Toyota Camry LE?
When is the best time to change motor oil on this car and is it worth getting a 3M paint protection film for this car?

A: change every 3,000 miles if your using regular motor oil and every 6 to 7,000 miles if using synthetic oil, look in your owners manual to see what oil they recommend, and no, paint protection isn't worth the money, just wax the car a couple times a year and the paint will be fine.

Q: How much will 2009 Toyota Camry LE v6 cost?
The MSRP is $23,000 so how much will it cost overall because I know that you always pay less than the MSRP. How much will it be monthly with no money down or very little? My parents are buying it but I was wondering because I have to pay for gas and car or insurance depending on which is less. So how much will it cost?

A: $5.01

Q: Can you put the rear seats of a 2009 Toyota LE Camry down for cargo room?
i never knew u could do this..is it true? I thought only suvs, hatchbacks, and vans, could have rear seats lay down for more cargo room.

A: Actually you can put the seats down in the back of a 2009 Toyota Camry LE. They are 60/40 fold down seats. This means you can have one side (60% or the 40% side) fold down or the whole 100% fold down. Yeah you can only do this in the Standard or LE version of the car. But not in the SE or XLE or Hybrid Version. The two levers are in the trunk or they are on the seats in the back(two of them). Yes it's used for cargo space. Hope you enjoy your 09 Camry!

Q: Which car is good and why, 2009 Toyota Camry LE or 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5?
Which car is good and why 2009 Toyota Camry LE or 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5

A: Both are good. But according to www.edmunds.com/insideline The Altima is better. There are video comparison tests on that website. Both the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, and the new Mazda 6 beat the Toyota Camry. The Nissan Altima is more fun to drive, quicker, handles much better, has a better design. The Toyota Camry is more comfortable and quiet, but a very boring and underpowered car. It feels cheap too. Both cars are fuel efficient and reliable and both have good resale values.

Q: Used 2009 Toyota Camry LE for $16300, 15k miles, clean title. Good deal?
A friend of mine is considering to buy a used camry for $16300. It has about 15k miles on it and the title is clean. It has Automatic transmission and is the very basic trim (LE). Car is in good condition. To the car experts out there, is this a good deal? He has seen the KBB value but wants a second opinion.

A: Yes thats a great deal.....just have it inspected by a dealer, especially the pedals.....A friend of mine just recently purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry from a private owner. She immediately took it to the dealer and had it inspected. The dealers are very well cooperating now a days thanks to the recall, she had the whole thing done for free.

Q: Toyota Camry 2009 LE Maint Reqd Help?
my toyota camry has maint reqd on and i need help fixing it. can u tell me how other than taking it to a deal or mechanic be specific bout fixing cuz i mite not understand any other way to fix it

A: It just means it is time for an oil change (maintenance required). Take it in to your dealer for several reasons. One, it really is no more expensive for an oil change there than at Jiffy lube. The dealer knows how to reset the maintenance light and will do so without asking or having to take your car back. They use the factory filters designed for your car and not some cheaper brand that will fit. The best reason most people don't remember though is your service history is stored at the dealer. Should there be any repair issues with the car, they will refer to your service history to see how it has been maintained. When that is documented in the dealers service history they can advocate Toyota take care of its good customers-sometimes even beyond the warranty period because they have been a good customer. Jiffy lube wont do squat for you there. T&T

Q: 2009 Toyota Camry LE - V6 vs. 4-cyl??
I test drove the new Camry last night and went in there certain I'd get a 4-cylinder...but then drove the V6 and was just amazed at the difference in power. I'm currently driving a CR-V (4-cyl) that has very good power and almost feels like a V6 so not sure if I'd feel pokey in the Camry 4-cyl...gas mileage doesn't seem to be a lot different yet you're getting almost 100hp more with th V6! Anyone have any thoughts??...do you think it's worth it to get the V6?...I do mostly city driving with occasional highway trips so do you think I'd be getting my money's worth with gas mileage on the V6 or should I settle down and get the 4-cylinder?? Thanks.....

A: I've driven the 4 cyl Camry when I rented a car, and the acceleration wasn't too bad...but when you go to pass on the highway you really noticed it. I would get the V6..the gas mileage isn't all that different, and an extra hundred horsepower is a big step up.

Q: Toyota Camry 2009 LE Window Glass repair more than 500?
So here's the thing, someone tried to break into my car and messed up the whole driver window, so the question is, is it worth it to pay 500 bucks deductible to the insurance to get it fixed or should I do it on the side?.. Things that need to be done are: - Get new Window Glass. - Get it tinted - Get window luxury edge and maybe some of the rubber that holds the glass. - Put it all together - Remove a very minor scratch off the paint Is it worth it?

A: You will most probably get the repair done cheaper on the side. However, getting it done by the insurance company at the dealership, will probably be guaramteed.

Q: Would A 2009 Toyota Camry Le V6 outrace a 2009 BMW 528i?
