Toyota Camry Hybrid

Overall a great car. A little pricey but it's an hybrid so I it's very cheap on gas. Great mileage per gallon. My monthly budget love it and our kids too!

Recommended if you want an hybrid sedan.

Overall Reliability of the Toyota Camry Hybrid is "9" I've had no problems my first year so far.

Overall Performance "8" If you don't have lead foot you'll do fine.

Overall Value for Buck "8" If you can bargain for $2500 off MSRP.

Overall I give it "Two Thumbs Up" until something better enters the market.

I traded my Ultra Luxury Package 2001 Lexus LS 430 for the '07 Camry Hybrid (cried for months) so I had pretty much a lot to lose and can say many bad points about the Camry but I'll try to keep it real and not to go over board because I do miss my LS 430. I find this car to be very appealing and great for not making too many stops at the Gas Pump during the week.

Car runs quiet so sometimes you can't tell if the car is on or not. I noticed that engine never really feels hot so you really can't tell if your teenagers have lied to you or not (I use to put my hand on the hood to see if it was warm or not) about using the car.

I did find the car very different at first to drive but not difficult too drive and get the feel for handeling, performace, manueverbility and so on. Basically I found myself coming to the realization that I have to be the one to change my driving style to really like this car. So if you're wanting to change your life/driving style you can't depend on the car to do it for you.... you have to adapt to the car.

However, Toyota's are known for their reliability and longevity so only time will tell on these USA Hybrids will take the abuse the way Americans want their cars to drive.

Overall this is a nice car with a lot of amenities. It's got the power and the fuel economy. I'd recommend it without the GPS. Keep in mind that this is a commuter's car, it will mostly fit with people who want to get from point A to point B.
