  Solid Vehicle - Great Mileage - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By MukMan - June 29 - 8:40 am

  Bought this a year ago. Already owned Escape hybrid. Mileage is much better than advertised in mixed driving. Car has full package with leather, heated seats, sunroof, Bluetooth, nav, etc. Nav not as user friendly to program as the 2002 Acura TL it replaced. Drives a little more bloated around curves like my 93 Taurus SHO, but a very quiet, solid ride. In the summer months, 50-50 driving will net 39-40 mpg; cooler fall and winter 36 mpg; minor flaws are that the tire pressure maintenance sensor went goofy and some brake noise that Toyota will take care of. However, for a $30K car, loaded package, its well worth it over Prius. This is the best eco friendly sedan.

  By HCW - June 16 - 9:53 pm

  I have home in city and country and drive between both homes and back and forth to multiple campuses of university. On some days I will averge 200 to 250 miles per day. Gas milage has averaged for the first 10,000 miles between 35 to 37 mpg. Would buy second one for next vehicle purchase.

  No Problems and none expected - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By thomasw828 - May 20 - 10:56 pm

  21 months later and 22k on the Camry, we have had no problems and no regrets. Average mileage is 35 in town and up to 41 on road. Another reviewer complained about body dings...Buy the body side moldings (we did)!!! These should be standard. The best time to buy is at the end of the month or in our case the end of the year, got an immediate 8% off sticker and a great $ for Lexus trade- in.

  Nice! - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By dbiggins - May 5 - 11:20 am

  I chose this car over a Volvo S60 and am very happy. For the cost everything comes with the Camry - sunroof, leather and navigation were the options I selected. My other vehicle is a pick up that gets 16 mpg and week to date the Camry is at 31 mpg. The transition between gas and electric is mildly noticeable - I havent experienced any sort of shudder. The car is very quiet inside and out at highway speeds. I am comparing to a lifted 4x4 truck so anything would seem quite but this is almost surreal. The navigation seems a little tedious with a large menu of options but balance with the 440 watt sound system I am more than pleased. Overall, I am pleased with my first Toyota.

  Great Family Vehicle - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By Starburst - April 23 - 2:36 am

  Weve put 5,000 miles on this vehicle in the last two months that weve owned it. Weve averaged 38.3 mpg overall, and as high as 40.4 mpg. This is a fabulous family car. It handles well and is very, very quiet - it is almost disconcerting at stop lights as the gas engine shuts down. This particular vehicle is well optioned; the on-board nav system is easy to use, the leather seats are supportive and the build quality is typical Toyota. Having said that, I could have done with a bit less plastic in a car that is this close to the top of the Camry price range.

  Outstanding midsize car for the $ - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By just do it - April 7 - 9:46 pm

  I needed something that gets great mpg and looked stylish enough to take to appointments in my job. It has leather, nav, and bluetooth. The interior is way roomier than the M35 I had previously. I actually like this nav better. This car is perfect for what it offers relative to the price. It looks classy and is more comfortable to drive than my m35 was.

  Very Pleased - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By 1948dave - December 27 - 2:26 pm

  I traded a Tacoma 4x4 @17+ mpg for this hybrid. I no longer need a truck and I couldnt be happier with the Camry Hybrid. It been cold here, but Im still averaging 36.5 mpg. I couldnt be happier.

  Great Ride! - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By Bret - December 21 - 10:23 am

  We have owned this vehicle for just two weeks now, but it was love at first drive. I am 65" and there is enough leg-room for me to sit in the back. We traded in our gas hog 4x4 SUV and do not feel cramped one bit. The car is fun to drive, great on gas (avg. mpg keeps going up, but we are regularly getting between 35 and 42 mpg). What more could you ask for?

  First Toyota after 6 Honda - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By dmoose - December 17 - 9:06 am

  After looking at cars and trucks I decided to take the plunge with a Hybrid. I drive typically 45 miles one way to work and needed something to help with the cost with gas. After leaving a V6 03 Accord, I love the Camry. It has enough power for me and I cannot believe all the bells and whistles it comes with as standard. If you can spare the extra $ I would recommend the nav to experience the extra input on gas miles. Also love the quiet ride when the engine has not picked up yet, but even as it kicks in it is very quiet. Driving in Cleveland with cold weather (below 32 last week), so waiting for MPG to go up... getting around 33. Best was 38 MPG.

  Top Drawer - 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  By wacka10sball - December 3 - 6:13 am

  Nothing like waving at gas stations as you pass by in big-car comfort, style, safety and handling. Im getting an average of 38-41 mpg and lovin it. Dont accept the view that its much cheaper to buy the equivalent "non-green" Camry XLE. That comparison may hold with other green, non-green car models, but not in this case; this is fact often overlooked. True, the trunk space is more limited, but the split rear seats go down, which helps. Im pleased with my selection.
