Outstanding Toyota hybrid.
Wonderful car! Quiet, smooth ride. Exceptional gas mileage (40+ miles per gallon, even with in-town driving). Heated seats (if desired). Love the blind spot indicators that alert us if a vehicle is in our blind spot! Braking and handling are excellent and we will definitely purchase another Toyota hybrid if we ever replace it.

Toyota Camry hybrid review.
I really love this car because it is a hybrid. Since it is a sedan it is very efficient on gas allowing me to commute on the daily to university. This car also makes me feel very safe since it has a lot of safety features. Overall, this car is a definite 10/10 since it has been reliable since the day I got it.

Great car with amazing mileage and cost effective gas usage.
The Toyota Camry hybrid is a great car! What I love most about the Toyota Camry hybrid is the way it performs and how we only have to fill up on gas every one and a half to two weeks. It definitely helps us save money while allowing us to travel and ride safely.

Toyota Camry-hybrid: my best vehicle I have ever owned.
The Toyota Camry-hybrid is a very gas efficient vehicle. It has given me no problems since I purchased it almost a year ago and has been by far my favorite car I have owned. I like to drive and travel often and it is my first choice. Plenty of backseat space and leg room in the front with a large truck for baggage. It is also fully loaded with heated seats and a large display screen. On the driving wheel there’s the radio controls and phone controls to make calls. Plenty of charging outlets and Bluetooth radio and navigation built in. No complaints at all. I absolutely love my car.

Dependable midsize hybrid vehicle.
I have owned my car since it had 12,000 miles on it and it is been almost 9 years. I have maintained the vehicle as close to the manufacturers maintenance guide as possible and overall I haven’t had any issues out of the vehicle and my car has over 240,000 miles on it.

Great and comfortable midsize car.
My vehicle has a lower level of consumers of gasoline, the design of the Camry is beautiful. It has a camera when I put in reverse. It has a low cost of maintenance. For me this vehicle is reliable and comfortable. It is a midsize car but is roomy interior is enough.

Smoothest ride ever and the most comfortable car I have ever been in.
Easy on gas. Smooth riding. Toyota is a breeze to deal with. Very roomy. Trunk is spacious. My 5’8” 14 year old has plenty of legroom in the back to stretch out. Trunk has enough space for three large suitcases. Having in car back up camera and navigation system are a lifesaver.

Good for bay area commute!
I use my 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid XLE primarily to travel to and from work. I live in the bay area and my commute is a solid 35 miles one way, sometimes more depending on the route I take. I get almost 500 miles per tank, which has been a blessing. There is a lot of space, and the trunk has a lot of space too. I really like this car.

Very old reliable that is still reliable.
My car is pretty reliable. Very comfortable and affordable. My car has a sunroof which is my favorite feature about it. When I first bought it, the mileage wasn't high at all. After having it so many years, I still do not have many issues with it. I plan to still have this car in 6 years.

It is amazing and I would buy this car over and over. It is a great family car.
I would buy this car over and over again. It is amazing and I am still on the original set of brakes. Never needed to have them changed. It drives perfect and is such a smooth ride. It has Bluetooth for hands free driving and also the stock stereo system is good.

Old reliable Toyota Camry.
The car is reliable, and because it is a hybrid, it gets great mileage. I have owned it for years and it is dealt with some wear-and-year but overall it is a great vehicle with very few problems. It is comfortable and spacious inside, and additionally has a big trunk. It is getting old, but it is the best car I have owned.

Dependable, high quality car.
Car is reliable, works well, very few issues. Seats are comfortable, air conditioning and temperature controls all work great. Satellite radio is a nice feature, also the Bluetooth controls make it easy to connect to any iPhone. This is my first hybrid car and the gas mileage is incredibly good.

Reliable, comfortable and reasonably priced vehicle.
This car has great performance. I have not had any problems whatsoever, other than regular maintenance. It is extremely reliable and comfortable. The fold-down back seats allow for carrying large purchases including bulk grocery purchases and pre-assembled furniture. The only maintenance needed so far has been getting new brake pads.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Julianna V.

The pros of this car is that when I fill up my car it is very cheap to get gas compared to cars I have had in the past. I also do not have to fill up my car very often, maybe every two weeks because it is extremely fuel efficient. I also really love the size of the car for me personally.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Julianna V.

Some cons of the vehicle would be that there is not too much room in the back seat, the trunk is quite big, but larger people have to squeeze in the seats. Also, it is not the best car to drive in snow and ice conditions.

I got the car used, so this is a difficult question. To me, it was a good value for its used condition.
