Toyota Camry Hybrid Consumer Review

So you might have heard about the Toyota Camry hybrid and are wondering just how great it really is. There has been a lot of hype about the Toyota Camry Hybrid. It has been said the Toyota Camry hybrid gets great gas mileage. The car has won all kinds of wards including the coveted car of the year for a family sedan over $30,000 for the year 2007.

The Toyota Camry hybrid has been selling well. The Toyota Camry hybrid has sold about 60,000 cars a year. Toyota Camry hybrids account for about 15% of the Camry sales.

First to look at the Toyota Camry hybrid lets look at the price and see how it is. The Toyota Camry hybrid sales for a little over $30,00 with lots of extras being available though Toyota the manufacture. Toyota Camry hybrid also has many aftermarket upgrades that you can get some of these enhancements include extra batteries, and solar panels. The price is fairly good it's a bit on the expensive size for a car like this except that it is a hybrid I wouldn't mind the price so much if it was a full electric and I didn't need to buy gas. But this car is a pretty good value. Also many places offer discounts for buying an economically friendly vehicle and you can save money getting the Toyota Camry hybrid.

While this car does get great gas mileage one drawback is that is always runs on gas. This would not be a small problem to fix and if you automotive knowledge you can fix it so that you have the option of running on battery. This is another point that I am not happy with the Toyota Camry hybrid in that it would have been easier, and cheaper to make this as an option. Them not making it possible to run on just electric make me start to agree with conspirators who fill that the car and gas companies are working together.

The Toyota Camry hybrid handles well though it could be better. If the Toyota Camry hybrid were an electric it would run quieter and smoother. Though there are many features that can add to or take away from comfort to help improve your mileage. In some ways it does not run as well as the standard Camry because of the battery weight.

While it might seem like you would lose some of the comfort from having to have batteries it still is a roomy car especially for its size. You can even add extra batteries that are a popular option because the standard Camry has such ample storage space. Some similar cars have great trunk space but little passenger space which seems to me to be absurd I would prefer more passenger space why do the groceries need to be comfortable? In the Toyota Camry hybrid you do not have that problem the Toyota Camry hybrid is as comfortable for passengers as the other Camry models, and if you have been in a Camry and then say a Ford Focus you will realize how much more space the Toyota Camry hybrid offers.

One final note is while you would expect this car to get great gas mileage it is not as good as you would expect. One reason is the weight of the batteries. In fact in California if you get 45 mpg you can drive in the carpool lane but it does not meet this as it only gets an estimated (and over rated) 38 and 40 mpg. All in all it can be a good car. If you like the Camry you will like the Toyota Camry hybrid. If you want to get a greener car then the Toyota Camry hybrid is good but there are better ones out there.
