I am pretty sure the new one is even worse.
I have not seen too much good about it, and I've been in one. It is a pretty shitty car this new Camry. People won't admit it yet but Toyota has started its downfall. They're running on brand reputation at this point, I think.

I am starting to look at Nissan Altima or the Mazda CX-5 as possible replacements down the line.

Just got my car back tonight. Rides fine and the engine looked decent. Service advisor took pictures and engine looked clean. Will probably have a better idea about over the next week.

Having owned a couple of Altimas, though older ones, my 05 Camry is much more sophisticated, tight, and better all around than the Nissans...good luck with the new engine.
