Friday the 13th is here, and we're talking about fear - specifically, fear of cars. Do you have or know someone who has a car phobia? They exist, and our Orlando Toyota specialists are breaking down some of the most common ones for you in this guide. more What causes a car phobia? Motorphobia: This car phobia is the fear of cars themselves. It's also referred to as ochophobia. This fear can extend to being around or thinking about a car, much less being in it! Dystychiphobia: This car phobia is the fear of accidents. People with it often have an intense fear of danger on the road and that danger resulting in an accident or collision. Amaxophobia: This car phobia is the fear of riding in a vehicle. It goes for both drivers and passengers - even if you're not driving, if you have this phobia then you have an intense fear of being in a moving vehicle. Vehophobia: Conversely, this car phobia is the fear of driving a car. People with it may be fine riding in an Orlando Toyota, but they don't want to be the one behind the wheel as that can cause intense fear. Hodophobia: This is the fear of road travel. People with this car phobia are not in it for road trips. Driving on a highway or street causes serious fear for them. What else can cause a car phobia? Now, let's discuss some specific car phobias that involve more than just the fear of cars and being in or driving one. Gephyrophobia: This is the fear of driving over bridges (again, valid). Normal roads may be no issue for folks with this car phobia, but having to drive over a bridge can cause intense fear. Photoaugliaphobia: This is a phobia of glaring lights. Drivers who have this phobia may be fine driving during the day, but driving their Orlando Toyota at night and facing bright headlights can cause them intense fear. Autoplenophobia: This car phobia is the fear of car washes. Whether it's the loud noises, the water washing over the car, or the machinery involved, people with this phobia can't stomach driving their car through car washes. Technophobia: People with this particular phobia have a fear of advanced technology or complex devices. With all of the new technology in cars (especially our cars at Toyota of Orlando), this phobia can quickly become a problem for drivers who suffer from it. Claustrophobia: You've probably heard this one as it extends beyond the automotive world. It's the fear of confined places - like the cabin of a car. Toyota of Orlando's safe driving tips for hitting the road Even if you don't have a car phobia, hitting the road can be scary at times. Here are a few quick safety tips to follow when you're behind the wheel. Put your phone down. Distracted driving greatly increases your chances of getting into a car accident or collision. That text can wait until you reach your destination. Use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for navigation. This will project your map information right onto your Orlando Toyota's touchscreen so you can quickly refer to it and keep your eyes on the road when it matters most. Take care of your car. Driving a car that's in bad condition can lead to breakdowns, tire blowouts, and other roadside emergencies that can result in accident or injury. Follow road rules. Do your part to stay safe in your Orlando Toyota. Follow the speed limit, use your turn signals, check blind spots, and come to complete stops at stop signs. Avoid aggressive driving. Being late is better than being in an accident. Avoid driving aggressively to avoid damage to your car and injury to yourself.

So you're shopping for the new 2025 Toyota Camry - good choice. This redesigned sedan boasts a sleek new look on the exterior, a plush and tech-driven interior, and an all-new hybrid powertrain under the hood. However, just because you've settled on this Orlando Toyota doesn't mean your shopping is done; now you have to choose a trim level. Today we're comparing two of the most commonly sought-after models: the Toyota Camry LE vs SE. What to know about the Toyota Camry LE The Toyota Camry LE is the base model, but it's anything but basic. It has a starting MSRP of $28,400 and the aforementioned hybrid powertrain that gets you 53/50 mpg. more What to know about the Toyota Camry SE The Toyota Camry SE is the next model up in the Camry lineup; it has a starting MSRP of $30,700 and boasts a hybrid powertrain that allows for 48/47 mpg. But how different will your new ride be when it comes to the 2025 Toyota Camry LE vs SE? Let's jump into the details. The 2025 Toyota Camry LE vs SE breakdown Performance: Let's talk about performance first. Both of these cars come in a hybrid powertrain, and both are available with all-wheel drive. Further, both of them offer features like multiple drive modes, electric power steering, and seating for five with 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space. Further, they're nearly identical in terms of size and MPGs, and they share the same engine. Here's where things differ when it comes to the 2025 Toyota Camry LE vs SE: While both models come with Independent MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, the Toyota Camry SE has sport-tuned shock absorbers and springs for a more sensitive handling experience. The Camry SE also offers paddle shifters for a more fine-tuned performance - you won't find this option on the LE model. As you can see, the Toyota Camry LE vs SE comparison shows that these models aren't too different when it comes to performance. So where do their paths start to diverge? What's it like behind the wheel of these two Orlando Toyotas? Cabins: We think you'll notice some differences in the cabins when you compare the 2025 Toyota Camry LE vs SE. Both seat five, as mentioned, and are laid out to be both comfortable and ergonomic. Here's where they differ. While the Camry LE has fabric seats, the Camry SE offers SofTex and fabric seats. Further, the LE has six-way manual adjustable front seats while the SE has an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat. The Camry SE has a leather-trimmed steering wheel while the LE does not. The SE model has aluminum sport pedals and a leather-trimmed shift knob for a flashier look. You'll find a standard 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system in both models, but the SE offers the option of an upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Both models offer exceptional interior features like push button start, dual zone climate control, multiple USB ports, Qi wireless charging, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Turn heads in both of these Camrys Style: We love both of these Orlando Toyotas - especially with the redesign that came out this year. Both of these Camrys are available in nine paint colors and have sleek, stylish exterior features like LED lighting. However, they do have their differences - here's what you'll notice when you shop the Camry LE vs Camry SE. While you can get nine paint colors on both models, the SE model throws in the option of four two-toned paint colors as well. The Camry SE has Bi-LED projector low- and high-beam headlights with Automatic High Beams - a step up from the normal LED headlights on the LE model. They have different grilles. The LE comes standard with a gray horizontal bar front grille, while the SE comes standard with a black sport mesh front grille. The Camry LE comes with 18-in. two-tone multi-spoke machined and black-finished wheels and the Camry SE comes with 18-in. multi-spoke black-finished alloy wheels. Both have single exhausts, but the SE model's has a chrome tip. Both have rear diffusers, but they're different. The LE has a gloss-black rear lower diffuser while the SE has a black rear sport lower diffuser. The LE has chrome exterior finishes, while the SE's outside is adorned with black finishes (like badging, window trim, etc.) You'll also find a rear spoiler on the SE - the LE doesn't have one. The Camry LE offers the option of a panoramic glass roof, while the SE offers the option of a power moonroof.

Florida summers can be brutal, and we're not just talking about the effects can have on you. The heat and sun can also take their toll on your vehicle, especially its exterior. This is even more true if you have to park in open parking without any cover to shield your Orlando Toyota from the sun all day. Our body shop experts are making it simple ™ - check out these tips on how to protect car paint from sun in open parking! more How to protect car paint from sun: Four tips You need to know how to protect car paint from sun if you're parking your ride out in the open. Unfortunately, it's not always possible to keep your car out of the sun. You may not have covered parking at home, work, or school, which means your Orlando Toyota is exposed to the elements for hours on end (and usually when the heat and sun are at their worst). So do you know how to protect car paint from sun when you can't count on covered parking? Check out these four tips. Tip #1: Detail your car and use a quality wax. One of the easiest ways to protect your car from sun in open parking is to detail it regularly. We're talking hand wash with a soap made for vehicles, and hand drying to avoid water spots on the paint and remove any chemical residue left on the paint. When your ride is sparkling, our Toyota of Orlando body shop experts recommend applying quality wax. Wax is a sort of sunscreen for your car - it'll protect your vehicle's paint from UV rays that can fade it. It also gives your ride a nice shine. You should apply wax every three months to ensure protection. Tip #2: Invest in a car cover. Another way to beat the heat and sun is to buy a car cover. This will help to protect your car from sun in open parking at home, and you may even choose to use it at work if you're working long hours. Look for a high-quality cover that's also UV resistant to give your paint the protection it deserves. (You'll want to look for covers made of polyester, canvas, or vinyl.) Pro tip: Don't put a car cover on a wet vehicle; it can cause mold and mildew to grow under the cover. If your car isn't moving much, then take the cover off for a few minutes every day to let the paint breathe. Tip #3: Consider ceramic coating. Another option to protect your car from sun is to invest in ceramic coating. Wax is a great way to fend off UV rays, but ceramic coating is a tougher, more permanent solution. Ceramic coating has the same qualities as car wax; however, it's a liquid polymer that bonds to your car's paint and creates a super-durable protective layer to prevent sun damage and even superficial scratches. Have questions about it? Ask our Toyota of Orlando body shop techs if it's right for your car! Tip #4: Look for trees and shade. This is an easy and free way to protect your ride from the sun all day. Look for shady spots in parking lots, and if you can park under trees, do it. Any shade is better than no shade at all, so seek out spots that can at least slightly protect your car from sitting in the sun all day. If your home or work provides a paid parking garage, it may be worth investing in a parking pass to ward off paint damage long term.
