Reliable, comfortable workhorse
We bought our 2009 Camry Hybrid used in 2012, with about 38,000 miles on it. It replaced a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid that was having transmission issues. The Camry now has about 130,000 miles, still going very strong. This summer we finally had to replace the 12-volt battery; it's a special type, and kind of expensive. On the other hand, we were replacing the battery that was in the car when we bought it. The car feels every bit as comfortable and solid as it did in 2012. Everything just works, except for the rarely-used lumbar support adjustment. We keep up with scheduled maintenance; the only thing that we've had to replace has been the water pump. The seats are holding up well (including the leather), the JBL audio is really, really good, the HVAC works just fine, the weatherstripping is still good, the hybrid system is great in all its parts (the big 4-cylinder engine, the electric motor, the unique-to-Toyota hybrid CVT, the battery pack, the controlling electronics). The car just goes, and everything bodes well for legendary Toyota reliability.

Great vehicle
We went from a 98 Acura RL that we bought new to a 09 Camry Hybrid and went from Premium fuel at 22mpg to regular fuel and 36.2 mpg. even higher on the road. The Camry has been great with no complaints. Ride is smooth,power is ample and service is what you expect from a Camry. We are pleased and will probably add a 2nd Hybrid when we find what we want.

Dangers of Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror
In the daylight, it works like an ordinary mirror, but at nighttime it works like a strobe. In city driving each time you pass a lit sign it decides whether to darken or stay in daytime mode. There's a lag time in its transformation, resulting in blinding light reflecting in your eyes when you pass a sign, followed by the mirror darkening, then going back to daytime mode just in time for the next lit sign, thus blinding you again. On the highway, when a car is directly behind you the mirror stays in the nighttime mode, when that car changes lanes the mirror switches to daytime mode and you're blinded by the next car until it gets close enough to activate the nighttime mode.
Love Everything but the Engine Light
We are thrilled w/ the Toyota Camry Hybrid. We consistently get over 37 mpg. It's quiet and once you get accustomed to what all the dials and buttons do, you just have to love it! I am very proud of the gas conservation I am able to attain. So, Thank You Toyota! I've been a Toyota owner for 30 years & I've always had great performance. The only problem I have is with the Engine Light. It keeps coming on and I notice the gas cap loosens up. I'm vigilant to tighten it when filling up, but it still seems to loosen. I'm concerned, and I appreciate seeing others are having a similar problem. I'll email my dealer today. Thanks everyone here for your info.
Very happy
I live in Minnesota and have had my Camry Hybrid during both a warm summer and a very cold snowy winter. I averaged 39-42 MPG during the summer and 28-34 MPG during the winter. One review from ORLY said he was only getting 26-28 MPG caused me to write this review. I can't even imagine how a person could get such low MPG numbers. I have the leather heated seats, they are very comfortable on a long drive. My only complaint is I get a faint noise through my drivers window when fully closed. The stereo with the bluetooth is fantastic both in sound and function. What ever gas prices are at the time the way I look at it I have cut the price of gas in half. This car has more room than my VolvoS80.
