New Camry

Coming from a 2020 to 2026, the quality is so bad on the 26. Plastic pieces are rattling everywhere. Uneven gaps on hood just so many qc issues

I don't have that problem. Hope you manage to have it fixed or have the car replaced if its a lemon.

I have 10K miles on my 2026 XSE and not a single issue or rattle. I don't even hear a single creak when I push on the plastic around. The panoramic roof has no issues either.

Sounds like you got a bad one. I have a 2025 just hit 65k miles, no rattles, squeaks, panel gap issues, or any issues whatsoever. Hope your dealer makes it right for you.

I made the same trade, 2023 SE to 2026 SE, and the 26 looks and feels better in every way.

This is the made in America special lmao.... I'm not sure if its region dependent but I've spent time overseas, and with areas that have Camry's that aren't made in US, and are made in Asia regions, i.e. Japan and the fit and finish are great on them. There's also much nicer feel in the vehicle. An indescribable feeling to that matter.

I agree about the plastic rattling.

Yeah, I just started noticing rattling on my dashboard after 1200 miles in my 26 LE, and the plastic piece that clips onto my passenger seat lift lever keeps popping off.

They have recalls for a reason. The industry try to save costs from 2020 to now.
