2008 Camry Hybrid

We are almost down to the bottom of the first tank, and it's time for a review. I wonder if people still have a chance to get one. We ordered the extra option package.

First off, this car is beautiful! With the extra package, you get a moon roof and leather seats, so it feels like a Lexus. The feel and design resemble a mini Chrysler 300. There are so many electronic doo-dads, that an absent-minded person, such as myself, may present a driving danger.

The car has power, and you can actually drive it like a mad-man Toronto loonie, but I don't think you'd save any gas money. As for saving money, give up on that hope. It's like growing your own vegetables in your backyard, you can buy them at the farmer's market for a quarter of the money you sunk into that pit! (I still grow veggies!)

If you drive the proper Gore-ish way, a happy-light starts to glow. So far, we've been getting 7.5 l/km in pure city driving, which is quite good. Haven't seen it on the highway yet. My son loves the sound of the braking system, which charges the batteries, since it sounds like a jet landing (turning down it's engines) - Neeee-oww!

A really nice luxury car that is a joy to own.
