We have the 2012 Toyota Camry XLE with everything package. We also have the 2012 Lexus H200 with everything package. The Camry handles very well, and is so quiet running that we do not use the stereo above level 5. They carpeted the roof, walls, floor of the trunk, carpeted the wheel wells to reduce noise, recessed the wind shield to reduce air noise, and even with out the stereo on, it is a pure pleasure to drive. The Camry handles easily, parks very easily, turns very nicely. It feels SOLID when you drive it, ROOMY with large trunk, wide seats, and extended wheel base. We are up to 44 MPG now and still going up. The detail and workmanship make this car a MUST BUY if you are comparing.

Miss my 2012 Hybrid

Kept the car up until 12,000 miles. I regret getting rid of it. I was averaging around 40-45 mpg. The most I averaged was 63 mpg! This car is very stylish, comfortable & great on gas. Very quiet, nice & smooth; however, it almost sounds like a spaceship. It has plenty of power. I felt confident driving in California while merging on to freeways/highways. It had more power than my 2005 Camry LE. The interior is nice & plenty of room. Some plastic parts seem a bit cheap. The only thing I worried about was how long the hybrid battery would last & how much it would cost to replace it. Also once replaced would it cause other electrical components in the car to malfunction. This was a great car!

12 years of Camry Hybrid ownership……

I am a fan. Almost 180,000 miles. Original brakes still at 70% Original battery, both main battery and 12v battery in the trunk. Mileage 40-42 mpg average. The only complaint is the information LCD screen is getting harder to see. I think it’s a backlight issue which doesn’t seem to be solvable. It’s only an issue during bright sunny days. It’s been a great car. XLE with sunroof, upgraded stereo, heated seats, power adjustable passenger seat as well as drivers seat. I just so wish there was a station wagon version of this car.

Best car ever

Bought a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE brand new. It was shipped from the production facility in Kentucky to Alberta. Drove this car in hot summers and bitterly cold winters; it always started and drove quite nice. It is silver, and it still looks brand new after using it for 10 years. Only thing that stopped working after 10 years was the up/down button for the sunroof. Maintenance/service bills were quite low and reasonable. Only downfall is that it took a while to warm up in really cold weather, and the AC on hot days sometimes drained the battery. The only reason I sold it after 10 years is that I do not want to replace the hybrid battery when it goes. In Alberta (Canada), it costs approximately $4,800 for a new hybrid battery to be installed at a dealership. Anyone who likes efficient vehicles, try a hybrid rather than a pure EV such as a Tesla. Hybrids are very affordable, reliable, and inexpensive to maintain (unless you need a new hybrid battery).

This is one of the best cars I've ever had and I'm 71. (My prior "best car" was a Toyota Camry also) I'm planning on keeping this car for as long as possible! I have not had any issues since I bought it 6 years ago. I have 111,000 miles to date. I get the oil changed regularly, brakes, etc. as recommended in the manual and that's it. It is so easy to drive and very maneuverable. Gas mileage is exceptional, about 38 mpg. I also like I would definitely purchase another Toyota Camry hybrid in the future.
