Kamry XSE impressions and further updates

Max needs a 570GT

[max225]

But if it fixes what you don't like...

Max will never be happy.

Never fast enough, never grippy enough, never quiet enough, never civilized enough.

The M3 should be the one car to do it all, doe. That's what M cars are all about.

Constructive criticism <<<>>> happiness.

I don't understand how me pointing out obvious flaws in a vehicle = Unhappiness

I am just sharing my findings with the group here, not going to go in here and ZOMG tell you how my turboe'd bimmer is better than every car on the forum.

[Johnny_P]

Can you find ramz on any forums or crangslist? I bet you could get a used set for pretty cheap.

[Desertbreh]

The hard reality is that I'd be planning my exhaust buy, Burger tuning buy, looking at suspension and wheels and all that shit and NONE OF THAT WILL BE HAPPENING. No, I have enough self preservational instinct to realize that the gf is not going to want her brand new car fooked with. Some tintz and maybe hardwire a radar detector setup, but that's gonna be about it.

Smart man. Let her drive the issue. Be the supportive listener she has always dreamt of

You're killing me.

May I suggest a new Avatar, Tony Schumacher?

But that is the anti-reality. You are a McQueen Dream Every Option 3 Series Oberleutnant now. Have you cut anybody off yet?

Without turn signals

Without turn signals

I think the BMW turn signals are a bitch... I am not 100% sure on how to use em... There is no click they are always fking on... till you flick em the other way. I am sure I am just flicking it too hard or whatever but I am not sure why BMW decided to make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Not driving it yet...
My car is missing the driver assistance package doe; No laser cruise control and lane keep assist. I also don't have a rear sunshade.

So pretty much poverty spec.

I would trade the retarded HUD for some tires though. to satisfy my cutting off urges.

[Desertbreh]

Camry joke turned into reality, just my luck.

Just get new ramz/tars from a forumbreh and a Hamburger tune and enjoy the thing!

Easy there, Massleman.

Bump it lightly in either direction, it signals 3 times and goes off.

Bump it past the hump (slowly pull the stalk up or down, you'll feel the resistance) and it'll stay on. Flick it lightly in the opposite direction to cancel.

I just don't get why they did that... a simple click on and click off worked for 50+ years... but they decided to fuck with it. Next thing you know they'll switch the location of the gas and brake pedal

Wait, it doesn't self-cancel after you complete a turn?

It actually works really well once you get used to it.

It's not any different than how your Coal Yaris functioned, minus the fact that the stalk doesn't stay down or up. Unless of course, you never realized that your car had the option to do a 3-blink signal.

3 blink is what i use 90% of the time... when switching lanes. Once I get more seat time I'll report back... I am so antsy to finally start doing this. Damn golf is still here for another day... then it is

[max225]

Wait, it doesn't self-cancel after you complete a turn?

It does.

Max is doing the typical customer thing where they slap the signal stalk around and get all about it.

BMW also fucked with this...



To go reverse you push the button ON THE SIDE and PUSH IT FORWARD.
To go into drive... you push button on the side and PULL IT BACK
To go into PARK you click on the P

I got used to it fairly quickly, but it is unlike all the other cars.

PRNDL was too straight forward I suppose.

I assume mini's work the same way?

Ze germans wanted something that was easier to sit on.

I drove one of those once a couple years ago in an ex-coworkers M3. It was weird.

[max225]

Literally just a whole lotta

I also gotta figure out I drive and the whole SPLIT screen feature which seems to be more of a gimmick than help.

Come on Brad fax, pop in here.

Depends on what you want the split screen to show. You can have it show coordinates, next nav instruction, current music playback, or a few other things.

Do any of those things interest you?

Still gotta play with it some more... not sure about Nav, as it is mostly pointless since I know where I am going around here. I want to show things like car info/music not sure if I can make it that way.

[max225]

oooo Interesting info! Thanks for posting that!

He should probably come in.
