I have the Camry Hybrid, & it SUX; get the regular 4 cylinder, it's a much better car (trust me).

Well I wouldnt want to be caught in a camry. Altima is the larger vehicle. Plus its cooler!

Toyota owners are faggot jeep wranglers ftw

@jding19711 although i have changed my mind on hybrid. I would recommend getting this over the regular 4 cylinder, cause a relative of mines bought the regular 4 cylinder & she gets HORRIBLE gas mileage. So the hybrid has grown on me. & now i consistently get 33/34 mpg.

@jding19711 well, i don't know what you get; could be horse shit or you could be telling the truth. mines is a 2007 model which i bought in late 2006 & i get 31-33 mpg. how do you test your mpg anyway? what i do is fill up the tank at the gas station & then I put TRIP A on 0. I drive it until 1/4 tank is left then i return to the gas station & fill the tank up again. I divide the miles i went on TRIP A by the exact gallons I put in to fill up the tank. I do it every time I fill up the tank.

@rayj778 Not necessarily. I do a lot of highway driving because my commute is pretty long and I comfortably get at least 40 mpg average. Of course, I have the 2011 model so they may have made some changes to improve mileage.

It would have been better if Toyota made an SE Hybrid. But the current Hybrid is also good.

@pittapitta Were thinking of transforming our 2002 Toyota lim. to a 5 liter diesel!

@crackaddict444 41 MPG??? LMAO, i bet you don't know the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground. You're obviously wrong on that figure. I have the camry hybrid (2007) & it consistently gets 31-33 MPG with very conservative driving.

@rayj778 idk im not saying the 2011 sonata is better in every way then camry but i think its alot better and just to say the 2011 sonata that is not hybrid gets 35 mpg but people said it gets around 33 or 32 but that in my opinion is way better then toyot HYBRID because hyundai gets great gas mileage without a hybrid

My dad has a Camry Hybrid. An early build 2007 model and we've had it for close to 4 years now. Not one problem to report and I've gotten 41 mpg driving it.
