The new 2018 Toyota Camry

Camry hybrid 2017 The kampung girl

Hi members...

I ve owned the TCH for more than than 1.5 years and generally very satisfied with my car.The mileage on my odometer is around 40,000 km. So far, it has not given me much problem except for some wind noise ruffling on the driver's side when speeding at around 120 to 130 km/h.

I believe we will only appreciate the Camry better when we drive other cars and come back to drive the Camry again. Only then we will realize how quiet the car is or how fast it can be when you step on the gas pedal.

If the Camry hybrid is your one and only car then you might not be able to appreciate the beauty or the attributes of the car. The beauty can only be seen when when you are separated momentarily.

The Camry is pretty much like marrying a kampung girl. She will do all the chores efficiently without any hesitation or complaint. Minimal maintenance but maximum satisfaction. That's the Camry hybrid.

Driving a hybrid car / Driving a Camry hybrid / Tips driving a hybrid car

Morning guys....

You all know that I have a heavy foot. I just don't allow cars like Kancil, Myvi, Vios, Bezza to overtake me be it at the traffic light or on the highway. For me , I just would like to have full satisfaction driving the car and enjoy to the fullest the quiet driving machine.Extending the mileage of the car is never my prime consideration. Nonetheless, I'm sharing my knowledge on how to get better mileage for your TCH.

Some tips to get better mileage in a hybrid car

1. Clear all the things in your car boot.We have lots of unnecessary things like shoes, files, books, golf sets , rackets, bottles of mineral water and sometimes old newspapers (Also get rid of shades, womens accessories that don't belong to your wife) . My wife -she likes to leave her 5 pair of shoes in my car. I don't know what her intention is. She also leaves the child's car safety seat in my car meant for my grandson . That thing weighs at least 20 kilos. All these things will make our car heavier and thus will affect the car mileage.

2. Check the tyre pressure and make sure that it is not underinflated. Under Inflated tyres will not only make your tyres wear out faster but also slow down your speed because of the heavy rolling resistance. The tyre pressure recommendation is shown at the edge of the door for you to follow.

3. Harvest energy by braking gently.Our TCH has a regenerative braking system that turns kinetic energy into electricity that is then stored in the traction battery. 10 % of the car power comes from this application. Sudden braking or braking at the last minute will not help in harvesting the kinetic energy.

4.Don't shift the gear into N or Neutral when you are at the traffic light stop or when idling . Your action will render the generator to disengage from generating electricity. At idle, the combustion engine is switched off and the battery power takes over. All these done seamlessly.Your air conditioning system at idle is run by electricity.

5. Plan your trip well and learn when and where you can actually harvest the energy through braking. Brake gently but take care of your safety first.

6. Use the Eco mode when you are in the city area. Using this mode will bring down the power use in the air cond system and lessens the throttle body. All these will save you fuel and extend your car mileage.

Having said all these, just depress the gas pedal when you feel like it. You know that the Camry has all the power almost like a V6 car to overtake a BMW 3 series or even the Mercedes clam shell 200.

Toyota Camry hybrid accesories

Hi guys 

Another important issue that we brought up with Toyota Malaysia  has got to do with accessories for Camry hybrid.

5. Accessories

With the warranty so tight what could we do? In fact, we could not do anything to the car.We told them we would die in silence listening to the mediocre speakers.We told them our eyes would bleed looking at the rims on the Camry . (The design although intended to be sportier could not attract younger buyers and ostracising the old like me & uncle KY Tham.) We told them our hearts would be hurt if the car gets stolen if safe safety gears were not sold . ( Nobody actually steals a Camry ). We told them we would be suffering for a long while if nothing is done to pacify and comfort the Camry hybrid owners and deprive them of the accessories.

We professionally argued with them that Toyota assemblers in other countries like Russia, Thailand and India were more creative and enterprising. Anslem did more research about the Camry specifications and even provided the people there of the glossy and colored brochures of accessories sold by those Toyota Companies. They were taken aback and impressed by how 'knowledgeable' we were about the specs in those countries.

The best part is that we managed to convince them to look into this matter seriously even though the bosses at Shah Alam were quite reluctant to go into retailing aggressively. (FYI, Anslem has lots of knowledge in tactical negotiations).They thought that the owners would not buy accessories sold by them. We however managed to convince them that there were ready buyers for the products.

The Toyota people even requested that they have the brochures so that they could try to convince the Lexus guy and the decision making committee members of the importance of providing options for the buyers who are tied to factory warranty. So far , they have viewed our suggestions very positively. They just requested that they were given more time to deliberate on the matter. We just pray that they would create a stronger retailing entity selling certain accessories for the Camry owners specifically and other Toyota cars in general.

Toyota Camry hybrid warranty / what makes warranty null and void?

Dear readers

Most owners do not know what makes a warranty null and void. This is Toyota Malaysia perspectives.

4. Warranty

What makes a warranty null and void? The feedback and the response that we got from Toyota Malaysia were clear ~Dont mess with the warranty of the car. They dont really like owners going beyond the stipulated original specifications designed for the car.

According to UMW Toyota, even the straight forward change of rims of the Camry hybrid might render your warranty null and void if they noticed that weight of the rims are not within the specifications when accidents happened or if your Camry hybrid turned turtle at a highway exit.

The simple act of adding a dashcam camera even though does not involve cutting of a wire can also cause the warranty to be null and void if it involves the disengagement of certain screws or parts of the car . They would be able to identify this by a computerized device that they have . They will know this if the device could not read the codes.

Even some simple alignments that we do outside Toyota service centers could also result in the warranty being null and void if they noticed that the underpinning of the car had been duly affected. Toyota has a machine that would be able to detect any chassis misalignment caused by unauthorized center.

In short, be careful about the warranty. Please make sure that the things that you do are within permissible acts of the warranty guidelines. I know this is too much but this is the impression that we got from the meeting. I believe they work like an insurance company. If they could find mistakes that we make, they will just wash their hands. They dont really try to find your fault but if they do you have to face the consequences.

Mirrorlink in Toyota Camry hybrid

Dear readers

Another important issue that we raised with Toyota Malaysia is the mirrorlink issue.

3. Mirrorlink

Mirrorlink is a slightly complex issue caused by an oversight or stupidity or recklessness on the part of product section and /or marketing dept. of UMW Toyota and and probably Toyota Japan.They got the mirrorlink without any in depth knowledge of the feature. They only realized the problem after they brought in the car based on the complaints they received from their customers.

For your information, the mirrorlink in the head unit in the infotainment system in TCH is brought straight by UMW Toyota from Japan. Even though the car is locally assembled most of the components come from Japan. For previous Camrys, they got the local agents to install the radio and infotaiment unit . In the hybrid , a lot of the components come directly from Japan.

The sad thing is that the version of the head unit that we have in the hybrid is the earliest version that could not support the latest android phones. Even if you bought the cable for RM 900 to 1000 plus you still could not use the mirrorlink because the software is not uptodate. If you use Samsung S3 you probably can use some outdated form of mirrorlink minus other latest features.

In short, the mirrorlink in the TCH could not be used at all. All the top bosses at UMW Toyota know this because they all drive the Camry hybrid and they know the real situation. Only the CEO of UMW Toyota drives a Lexus. Probably, he is not aware of the situation because the Lexus cuts out all the 'noise'.

Getting to know Camry hybrid 2016 / Toyota awareness program

Hi readers

The second issue that we brought up with UMW Toyota Malaysia relates to Awareness driving Program

2. Special Awareness driving programme

One of our members Mr Kong Seng Wong in CHOCoM  suggested that Toyota Malaysia has a get -to

 know -Camry session / Awareness driving programme for buyers of Camry hybrid. This was taken 

positively by Toyota Malaysia and they somehow told us that they would try to do this ASAP. Please 

check with Toyota portal for any news on this. Please remember that they do this for all buyers of 

Toyota Camry hybrid in Malaysia not just for CHOCoM members.

The problem is that they are not many places available for everyone. So if you see the programs 

advertised on the Toyota portal, please notify them ASAP (First come first served basis). However, if 

CHOCoM members are really interested in joining the program just give your names to me or Anslem 

and we will forward them to the right people in Toyota. We cannot promise anything but based on what 

they have said they welcome some names through us. We hope they keep their promises.

Toyota Camry hybrid extended warranty

Hi Readers

CHOCoM or Camry hybrid Owners Club Malaysia  met with Toyota Malaysia on 1 of Sept. 2016 at the Shah Alam headquarters . We raised a number of related issues with them regarding Camry Hybrid 

1.Extended warranty

We brought up the issue of the extended warranty and we requested that it should be free to all members including those who bought the car early. If possible we suggested that those who have paid for the warranty to be reimbursed.

The straight answer given was that they could not possibly do that because each year of the extra warranty requires a lot of capital / investment from Toyota. They quoted RM....(for each Camry per year. Quite a big sum was quoted but I could not divulge the info because the promise that I made to them )

They mentioned that the amount that they charged ( RM 2990) is in fact subsidized indirectly by the UMW Toyota. The real cost is much higher than that.

They also said that there is the extra free servicing that is worth around RM 400 given to the owner who have paid for the extended warranty.

So guys the extended warranty is a dead issue for now. Those who are still not fully satisfied can try another platform.

Toyota Camry hybrid and second car... / The best combo for Camry hybrid

Dear friends...

We Malaysians tend to have more than 1 car. We always try to buy the best car for our wives. The Sultan of Selangor bought a BMW I8 for his wife. Even Mr Paultan bought a Merc. 300 h for his beautiful wife. He of course drives a Camry hybrid to the office.

My neighbor in front drives the latest Merc E 200 and his wife drives a Peugeot 206. My neighbor on the right drives a BMW 5 series. For his wife he bought an Estima because he has 5 young children. My back neighbor drives a Lexus 250 and his wife drives a Toyota Vios. My neighbor far left drives a VW GTI and his doctor wife drives Toyota Alphard. These are just some of the combinations of the main car and the car that belong to the wife. My wife however drives an Accord.

This is my take on the best combo for our Camry hybrid.

1. Camry hybrid + Mazda CX 5

I believe the best combo for our hybrid is Mazda CX 5. The SUV just fits nicely as a second car. The seating position of the car is high and its easy for the wife to drive and maneuver. The engine with very high compression ratio is also economical. Another advantage is flood . The high ground clearance will ensure that our wife will return home safely. Mazda CX 5 is just perfect for our beloved wife.

2. Camry hybrid + Honda Civic 10 gen.

The second best combo is with Honda Civic. The car is just about perfect for our still petite wife. Please get the 1.5 turbo engine and she will love you so much. The only drawback is that there will be so many preying eyes among the 'buayas' trying to get to know her. If you already have the Civic my suggestion is for you to get a gps tracker so that you know where your wife is.

3. Camry hybrid + Ford Focus hatchback

This is another good combo. The Ford Focus is just a beautiful car for your wife. Its not too big and not to small. The turbo engine till just blow away the Camry to bite the dust. She will really enjoy the car and You will have a heartache watching her enjoying her ride.

4. Camry Hybrid + Honda Jazz

I think this combo is the most practical. The magic seats will solve most of the baggage problems. You will also save a lot of money. The car is also so easy to drive. The best part is that the car can be had around RM 70 K. The Jazz is truly a girl's car.

5. Camry hybrid + Mazda Miata or Toyota MRs

Another beautiful combo is with the carbriolet or the Targa. She will feel sexy driving this car and I believe your wife would have lots of followers in her facebook and at the office. You will die young if you buy your wife this car...

15. Toyota Camry Hybrid + Camry hybrid

This will be the worst combination and you wife will hate you until the end of the world. Every time you argue with her she will bring up the issue of Camry hybrid. My advice to you is not to get another Camry hybrid.

So these are the best cars for your wife who has been faithful to you. Treat her well you will be very happy inside out. Treat her badly you will die young.

Camry hybrid regenerative brake system

Dear friends...

I didn't have braking problems with my Camry hybrid earlier on but after more than a year of ownership I'm starting to have a weird feeling about the brakes. It does not feel as sensitive as it used to be. Now, I feel that I have to press harder to get a complete stop. I don't know whether it's just my feeling or it's the real thing.I believe this could be one of the issues that I could bring up with UMW Toyota.

In one instance, when I was driving quite fast I had to slammed the brake but it did stop brilliantly but there's some juddering feel. I believe its still safe but there's some weird feeling about the regenerative braking system and the software set up.

Camry hybrid irritating noise

Hi bros and sistas...

When I wanted to buy a car, one of the features that I looked for is how quiet the car is. Quietness has become an important feature as soon as I enter the 'senior zone' meaning around the age of 45 and above. That was one of the reasons why I bought the Camry hybrid because it's eerily quiet especially on EV mode.

Because of the serenity of the car at low speeds, any small sound tends to be amplified. A little creaking sound will sound really big in a quite ambiance and this makes the driver to be distracted and irritated. I believe one of the reasons why there are so may complaints about the noise in Camry hybrid is because the car is very quiet . However, compared to a Lexus , the sound absorbing materials used in the Camry hybrid is not as thick or as effective as found in a Lexus.

The same noise in the quiet Camry might not have been an issue in a Civic or CX 5. That's my two cents worth.

UMW Toyota Malaysia and the people there ....Fcuk you

Hi guys

I'm Dr Salleh and I run Toyota Camry Owners Club  of  Malaysia or CHOCoM  for quite a while and I tell you that to get in touch with Toyota Malaysia to ask simple things is so difficult. I think its easier to make an appointment to see Najib Razak or Dr Mahathir than to see a top management guy of Toyota Malaysia. You know how long it takes  me to seek an appointment with Toyota Malaysia--Weeks. This morning after so many attempts,I got a call a call from Ms. Soo Ching who said that I had to write a letter  to Cik Suri Atikah  to seek an appointment to see a top official from Toyota Malaysia.

Toyota Malaysia is like a Fortress with so many layers and walls. People say its so difficult to deal with government departments. Just try to get an appointment with Toyota Malaysia. You have to go through so many emails , text messages via messenger , via Toyota Malaysia FB, Calls and letters ...And still nothing yet. Now ,I know why Toyota Malaysia has not improved. They have been run by people who are out of touch. The company is being  run by bureaucrats with so many layers of people.

No wonder they cannot solve the mirrorlink problems... No wonder the reputation of Toyota is getting badly bruised by the day. I don't know whether I would buy Toyota again. I think the people  this company should reflect on how they run their company. Fcuk the people in Toyota....

Toyota Camry hybrid 2016 Vs. Proton Perdans 2.4 L 2016

His bros....

Proton Perdana 2016

Proton has recently introduced the all new Proton Perdana. The car is based on the previous generation Honda Accord. The car competes with the likes of Toyota Camry, the newly revised Honda Accord, Peugeot 508, VW Passat and Nissan Teana among others. But how does the new proton Perdana measure against Toyota Camry Hybrid? So today I would like to do just that:

RM 175,000 Toyota Camry Hybrid VS. 135,000 Proton Perdana

1. Design

I think both are more of uncles' design but I see some fresh ideas from Proton to have more of a fastback like rear end. The shape of the new Proton is not unhandsome but better looking than the Toyota Camry. I see that the Perdana is more executive like than the Camry hybrid. However, both will not be able to attract young pretty girls.
2* for TCH and 2.5 * for Perdana

Proton Perdana interior

2. Interior

I like the dashboard design of the Toyota Camry. It's more traditional and exudes some luxury feelings not unsimilar to a Lexus. The Proton however looks the same as the previous generation of Honda Accord but this is not to say that it's not pretty. In fact, it's quite good looking with the newly revised centre console that is very much lower. You feel that the dashboard is slightly lower than the previous Accord and this creates some feeling of sportiness.
4 * star for TCH and 3.5 * for Perdana

3.Ride and Handling

I believe the ride in the TCH is really soft and floating and mature people or people with slipped disc would enjoy that . But the Perdana is very much like the new Accord, it shows its young side of the ride and handling department. In twisty roads I would rather be in the Perdana than the TCH. But when driving 150 km/h I would rather be in the Perdana. The Camry is too soft and more buncy for speed exceeding 160 km /h. For fast driving the TCH is a non starter.
3.5* for TCH and 4.0 * for the Perdana

Proton Perdana dashboard

4. Space interior.

The Perdana is the largest car in the D segment at 5020 mm compared to only 4850 mm for the Camry hybrid. If you need space the Perdana should be your choice. I also believe that if you're a CEO you want to be in Perdana although the space in the TCH is also quite commodious. The boot in the Perdana is so large that you can literally put an Axia hatchback inside the boot. I'm not kidding it's so huge.
4* for TCH and 5* for Perdana

5. Performance

This is the part in which the Perdana could not compete. The car just could not out-accelerate the TCH hybrid. The drivetrain in the Perdana is a bit lazy and much slower to propel the slightly heavy Perdana at 1535kg. The Perdana is more suited for unhurried highway drive- a young guy like Johann Lo or Prof Iskandar would not be happy driving the perdana. But if you want a luxury cruiser the Perdana is the natural choice. A retired KSU or or a retired 5 star general would be happy customers of Proton Perdana.
4.5* for TCH and 3* for Perdana

6. Value for Money

The Perdana I believe is a car you should buy if you put value for money as your first priority, For about RM 135, 000 you practically get a 2.4 L Japanese luxury cruiser even though its Malaysian made. Proton could not make any changes to the engine, suspension , drivetrain and the 5 speed transmission. Overall, the Perdana is the winner
3.5* for TCH and 4.5* for Perdana

7. Infotainment system

The TCH is packed with outstanding features like the SatNav and lane watch. Perdana on the other hand is also fully equipped but the display area is too small for a luxury cruiser. The best part about the Perdana its 6 speaker system sounds very much better than the system in TCH. The sound is so loud and crisp and even better than in the previous honda Accord.
3.5* for TCH and 3.5* for Perdana

8. Refinement

Both cars are not very solid but generally the TCH is more refined and efficient. However I feel that the Perdana has more of the solid feel compared to the Camry hybrid. I Believe the engineers at Proton have put in more sound deadening materials in the Perdana. I even feel that its much quieter than the earlier Honda Accord. But the latest 2016 Accord is more refined and quieter.
4*for TCH and 3.5 * for Perdana

Conclusion.

The Perdana is a beautiful luxury cruiser and a good choice for value for money car. It's also a huge family sedan with acres of space to swallow the driver and his many children and wives.The Camry hybrid however is fast, efficient and a quiet family sedan. If I don't have much money in the bank I would definitely get the Perdana. but because my children are leaving the nest the Camry hybrid is still a very good choice.

Thank You to Be A Katie Proton for the courtesy car.

What to look for when buying a car : Camry hybrid 2016

Dear bros and sistas...

Buying a new car is not an easy decision. This is due to the fact that you are spending sometimes up to RM 200,000 ( For some people this could be more) of your hard earned money. Well ...not your money per se... but money from the bank that you borrow sometimes at very high interest rates. So before you commit into buying a car, you have to make sure that it fits nicely with your budget and the car meets certain criteria.

1. Before I buy a car , I will make sure that I want a car that will not make me lose a lot of money. In other words, the car would have to have a good resale value. My operational definition of good resale value is that I would be able to retain at least 60 % of the value of the car after 5 years of use. Because of this, I refrain from buying Koreans like Hyundai , Daewoo or Kia ( I don't know how much this is true now). I also make sure that my car is not a Citroen or a Peugeot as some salesmen label these vehicles as "sejuk'. Most probably i would not get a VW because of its well known problem with the DSG transmission.

2. Next thing that I would give a serious consideration is that the car is very reliable. I don't want to be stuck in the traffic jam with ignition or transmission problems. I don't want to be spending a lot more money on the ECU or other problems. I don't want a car to be laden with complex coding problems that need to be solved.

3. I will also make sure that my car will not be a gas guzzler. I need a car that will have the speed but will not drink lots of petrol. In this world where the price of petrol is uncertain you have to make sure that your car sips the expensive petrol and gives you the extra mileage.

4. I need a car that is comfortable and quiet. My hearing is getting more sensitive at his age and I need car that is quiet for me to drive at a long haul or around towns. My back is also giving some problems and I need the soft suspension of my car to pamper my butt and give a magic carpet ride and not a jagged ride like some sporty cars.

5. Before I buy a car , I would also make sure that the car that I want to buy is a good value car. Good value does not mean very cheap. It means that I get lots of money for the car. Sometimes good value can mean tax incentives, extended warranty, extra features and good discounts.

After taking into considerations of all these things, I come to a conclusion that the best car for me is a Camry hybrid. I don't feel any regret at all buying the car till now . I'm one satisfied customer overall. When new cars like Honda Civic comes in I would always rationalize that there's no perfect car for us....There's is no perfect wife or girl. There will always be a prettier girl in town to come . You will never be fully satisfied... Just take care of your imperfect car and you will love with her beauty...

Toyota Service Center : Be smart

Dear owners of TCH ...

Please be aware that some Toyota franchisee service centers in Malaysia charge unnecessary items

1. They charge extra 1 litre on top of the four litre of oil. You don't really need the extra 1 litre
The extra 1 litre costs around 60 ringgit.

2. They get you to use the heavier oil which costs more than 100 ringgit extra. What you need is 

SN 0W -20 which is developed for hybrid cars. The specific hybrid oil is much cheaper.

3. They might ask you to do extra things like changing the transmission oil before the stipulated period.

Pl be a smart Camry Hybrid owner.

The boring Camry hybrid 2016

Hi bros...

Nearly 435, 000 Camrys were sold last year in the US. It has become the best selling car for the year 2015 beating models such as Honda Accord and Ford Fusion. Why does such  a so called "mediocre" car sell so much?

First is the trust that people have for Camry. Its very durable and it lasts for years. If you're observant you can still see the old Camrys running strong.The car will not let down its owner. It will serve the owner for a long time...It can basically run forever and not missing a single beat.

Secondly, its reliable to the core. It will not break down like some cars from Germany. I'm more than half a century old and I've not seen a Camry got stranded along the highway or in the city. Yet its also the best selling executive model in the country for a number of years before Honda Accord claimed the crown.

Thirdly, its so comfortable and quiet. It the perfect vehicle for the family. The interior space is large and comfortable enough to swallow a family of five and make them travel in comfort. Once inside the car you will be cocooned from the outside noise.

Fourthly , is the resale value. After 6 years of driving the car, the owner can still manage to get good trade in value unlike some korean made cars. The value is still there after years of abuse.

Last but not least it's a very economical car. The hybrid nor the non hybrid still give good mileage. The Camry would sip the fuel slowly unlike some korean and Continental cars which are known as gas guzzlers.

Now we know why this vanilla is really a gem...

Toyota Camry hybrid extended warranty Malaysia / 2 year extra warranty Toyota

Hi bros and sistas...

RM 2990 is a lot of money for me. I could use the money to go to UK and get a couple of my cheap favourite T shirts at Primark departmental store in London or probably get an I phone 6 because my ASUS is always hanging and causing irritating problem even now while writing this post. I could even get a 40 in TV because the one I have is flickering with yellow lights and difficult to watch the news about DOJ investigation.

Toyota extended warranty

Nonetheless, I just closed my eyes and signed the extended warranty form at the Toyota Service Center in Bangi yesterday. There goes my tonnes of money. I didn't actually want to buy the warranty because I thought Toyota should have given us a 5 year warranty instead of 3 because its already a standard practice for other car manufacturers at that time. But my rational side won the battle and made me signed the sales form. Below are the reasons why I decided to buy it.

1. I dont want to take risk. I feel that owning a hybrid which is quite new in Malaysia is having a' time bomb'. We dont know when its going to explode or break down. I know Toyotas are reliable but there's also a great possibility that we might get a lemon. Rather than feeling sorry later I would rather spend the 3 K now. Who knows may be two years from today the Inverter of the car might just go kaput. Like our health we dont know when we will be struck by a paralyzing stroke or heart attack. The inverter of the car is just like our precious heart.

Cost of extended warranty

2. You cant just stop worrying about the car and think about other things which are more important like your children, your financial investment, your health and your challenging job. You will be more focussed and be able to get things done more effectively. The Camry should not be the one that you should focus your energy on.

Well I don't want to force you to buy it. Ultimately,its your own decision. I get no commission from Mr Toyota. Some people get millions being agents for submarine contracts but not me. I do it for my love of Toyota Camry hybrid and my friends in the group.
