Is the 8th Gen Camry's (18-24) Reliability Held Back By The Transmission?

The car in the video is a 2019 Toyota Camry SE 2.5L A25A-FKS and UB80E 8 speed automatic transmission which has a less than stellar reputation. The UA80E paired to the 3.5L 2gr-fks V6 will be in a separate video. This is the 8th generation (XV70) that runs from 2018-2024. I will be also quickly talking about the hybrid which uses a similar engine A25A-FXS, but a different transmission eCVT P710. 6 qts of transmission fluid: https://amzn.to/4sc6QDm Wireless Android Auto / Carplay Unit: https://amzn.to/4rQRmE9 Cheap Basic OBDII Scan tool: https://amzn.to/3LSiX8M Bluetooth Scan Tool: https://amzn.to/4qRXdZq Starter PRO Bidirectional Scan Tool: https://amzn.to/49RD534 Mid grade / Pro Scan tools (you must see available functions): https://amzn.to/4sNQvpf 262 piece tool kit to get started: https://amzn.to/4jVIhHK LOW COST 1/2 inch 886 ft-lb electric impact with battery: https://amzn.to/49RDjHs 0:00 Intro 1:11 Exterior 2:10 Interior 4:46 Mechanical (Pros) 10:26 Mechanical (Cons) 21:11 Test Drive 24:13 Recap 25:30 Rating
