Have had it two days....mileage started at 10 mpg at 10 miles and is now up to 33 mpg at 150 miles. Steering better than 1998 Camry or 2005 Tundra. Acceleration about the same as 1998 Camry (V6). If you have the transmitter in your hand the door unlocks. EV plus ECO mode for economy. 600+ miles per tank of gas. Brilliant sharp headlights. Excellent interior temperature control. Put seats up high to get more elbow room and better visibility. Comfy driving position/adjustable steering wheel. Pass through from trunk for fishing poles/lumber. Mirrors well situated. Some wind noise at 70 mph. Almost no motor noise until accelerator is floored. Less wind down sound than 2011.

First time hybrid buyer, just got 2012 camry hybrid xle w/ full option minus blind spot monitor & hdd navi. This car demonstrates toyota is the undisputed king of Hybrid. Zippiest hybrid ever & you'll never be dissapointed for lacking in power. Cruising 50-60 & need to take over a car... it will respond like it has a rocket booster, you'll literally feel the boost & it's a blast. It has a exceptionally refined exterior and interior however the seat are super firm esp. with leather so your butt may feel bit soar after a long ride but because the cabin is so comfortable otherwise minor discomfor w/ soar bum is easily forgotten. All important real world Mpg is 37 city 42 hwy so far...

Recently purchased this vehicle with 155,000 miles. The interior has held up really well considering the mileage - the seats all look almost new. All electrical items work well. The bodywork is in good shape, headlights show some hazing (not unexpected). The driving behavior is as expected - a little loose, but nothing worrying. Performance is adequate. ============================== Update in Aug2023, car now at 185000. My daughter has been using this vehicle and she loves this car. It’s roomy, reliable and gets good gas mileage. She sometimes can achieve 50mpg for some journeys and is averaging just under 40mpg which allows over 500 miles on one tank of gas.

Second time around Camry Hybrid owner, did over 60k miles in my 2010 all trouble free but was suffering a boredom attack so wanted to try the 2012 model, pretty much the same except for the little EVO button, press it in and be ready for some fun, even will give the V6 a run for its money and still do 40 MPG

It is a great car. If you are using the freeway often the Hybrid is no value. This is my 4th Camry and I have passed 200,000 thousand on all of them. If you keep the services upto date it will run for ever.
