Major problems found in Camry hybrid 2016 / Should I buy a Camry Hybrid?

I have to admit that Toyota Camry Hybrid is an extremely good car for the average family in Malaysia. The car is so comfortable, refined and generally quiet. It's no slouch either for a straight line speeding. It's appropriately fast if you discount a twisty road in the rural area.Travelling at 150 km per hour all day long along  Malaysia's North and South highway is  a breeze for the Camry. Although it's a very good car there are some major weaknesses.

1. The terrible sound system. The sound system in the Camry is really bad. Despite having 10 speakers the sound system is  really beyond description. One of the reasons could be that there's only one back speaker . This is the first time that i've seen a car with only one back speaker Another reason could be that the system that they offer does not consume much power and thus does not produce good power wattage sound.  Electric power in the Camry is at a premium because it's a hybrid and it needs all the power for the drive. The sound system also does not have an application to download songs played on CD . This is really something that I miss so much. You need to carry all the CDs to  play the songs you love.

 2. The mirror link system does not work in Malaysia. So owners in the country could not interface their smart phones with the 8 inch infotainment system. The application in the Camry could not read the software in the android. It can only be connected if a major configuration is done to the electrical system in the car. This will render the warranty null and void

3. The car is relatively noisy when it's recharging at idle. The sound is not too loud but when the car is generally quiet any noise is just unwelcome and also very irritating. The sound at C pillar when cruising at 130 km is also something Toyota should look into. Nowadays, very few people drive below 110 km per hour. Even micro cars, like Perodua Axia, can cruise more than 120 km per hour.

4. Hit an miss quality on the camry. Sometimes owners of the Camry complained of the moisture found in the rear light as if the rear end light is leaking. Some owners claim that there's unwanted creaking sound emanating from the dashboard and under the steering wheel. Some complained that the brake systems in the Camry makes a very irritating clicking sound at the start of the drive. The sound however disappears after a while, Some of the owners felt that the paint job done on the Camry is not very premium. In fact , it looks cheap. They said that the paint on the Corolla Altis is even better . It's so glossy and shiny without any orange peel.

Those are some of the major weakness or flaws that I found in the Malaysian Camry. I have no information about the quality and fit and finish  of the Camry in Thailand , Singapore and Indonesia. I believe the quality of the car in the States is even better than in Malaysia. However, I don't have any data to back up my claim.
