Toyota Camry Hybrid Navigation System Questions

Re: Map updates? [navguy1]

Written by: drod12 on Oct 20, 2009 05:11 AM

I just want to make sure I'm buying the right one for my car. I have a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid so, to buy the most updated DVD, I should get the second one (86271-GEN05-09 86271-53024 ) right? I'm not sure if the years pertain to the year it got released or for the year of the car. Please advise. Thank you. Read More...

I have a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid with Firestone tires. I'll be lucky to get 20,000 miles out of them. My car is well maintained and I regularly check the tire pressure, which is set at 32 psi per manufactuer recomendations. No alignment problems. The car is basically local to and from work and not driven hard. I understand the Michelin tires will go about 45,000. Read More...

Bought a new 2008 Camry Hybrid in December 2007. Have put 15k miles on it so far. Average mpg are 36.4. I have a lighter foot than my wife and can get a consistent 40 when I drive. Recently completed a 411 mile trip over flat lands and mountains. Took 10 gallons to fill the tank. Dealer replaced the rear brake pads at the 5k service as they were making noise. Has a slight ...

Camry Hybrid v. Camry LE (4-cylinder)

Re: LE 4 Cyl vs. TCH [wwest]

Written by: monte8 on Aug 04, 2008 09:13 PM

"Personally I would be concerned about the functionality of ABS and VSC with the TCH when the primary braking is via the regenerative method vs pure frictional braking on the standard Camry." Toyota has this problem solved. I have a 2008 Highlander Hybrid. All of the electronic controls (ABS, VSC, regen. braking) are fully integrated and work fine. In using ... Read More...

Guy walks into a Toyota dealer looking for a 2008 Toyota Prius. He's heard about hybrids for awhile now, and the Prius is one he knows by name. He vaguely recalls some celebrity bragging about taking one to the Academy Awards instead of a limo, and then there was that South Park episode, "Smug Alert" a couple of years back. And didn't Al Gore's own son make headlines ... Read More...

Toyota Camry Hybrid Extended Warranty & Service Package

Re: info needed [cclement]

Written by: mayday1951 on May 22, 2008 03:23 PM

Well, apparently some of the posts have been removed by the Host because they had too much information on them (phone numbers), so some of the ones that had prices are no longer available. I already bought my warranty from Midwest Toyota for my new 2008 Camry Hybrid, and I got the Platinum 7/75, 0% ded. for $619. I would have purchased the 7/100 for $964, but I only ... Read More...

New '08 TCH

Written by: lessachs on Apr 15, 2008 08:40 AM

I just bought my second TCH. I traded in the one I purchased in late 2006 for a new 2008. I got in on the $1,000 rebate from Toyota. It ends 4/30/08. I made the trade at a really good price. I am a confirmed Camry fan. I bought my first one in 1987. The trade in was white (OK). The '08 is silver with a spoiler (much cooler, I think). Anyway, heres another vote for Camry and the ...

Toyota Camry Hybrid Driving Tips & Tricks

Re: Start slowly and funny-2008 Camry Hybrid [tsy]

Written by: chihlin on Mar 29, 2008 11:38 AM

Since I posted the question, I have owned my TCH for another 3 months and driven it for 3000 miles. It is very amazing that I already adapted to it very well and do not care that it starts up a little bit slower than other toyota sedans. In fact, I am very satisfied with this car. It is very smooth and can accelerate very fast once the speed is brought up. The mileage per ... Read More...
