Used 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid Consumer Reviews
my Camry XLE Hybrid - great performance, pizzazz!
The Camry XLEs have many levels, with "technology package", without. I didn't need all those bells, whistles of land change warnings, blind spot warnings, have driven many hundred thousand miles with no incident. So got the XLE pkg with Bluetooth, all leather, navigation (but will use my Google maps phone, mostly), like the back- up camera which is now standard. No moonroof. Got a good price at $27,100. The hybrid has good power, the battery plus the V4 engine is like a V6. Very good acceleration! Love to drive it! ROAD HOLDING IS EXCELLENT! ( not sure why it shows up in " worst category?!) Have only had it for a month. Have now had it for a year, really enjoy driving it. Use economy power on back roads to maximize gas efficiency, turn off for highway. When I have lots of short trips around town, overall mpg is 36 (starting it uses gas, then only drive for 1-2. Miles). Can get over 50 mph on highway! So overall getting 40 mpg. I love driving it!

Fantastic used car buy
I bought a 2015 Camry Hybrid XLE, after driving a 2009 Prius III for 10 years. It was a huge step in every way except mileage of course, which is still very good. Even with a sunroof, I can adjust the electric seat to fit my 6'1" height. The drivetrain is smooth as silk, like the Prius, but quieter than my old Prius, at least in this XLE trim. I don't even hear the engine under normal acceleration. The ride is a good balance between control and comfort. Visibility outwards is far better than Kia/Hyundai of recent design. The Entune system with JBL is easy enough to learn to use. I literally only have one regret - I could lower the back seats on my Prius and fit a bicycle or other large item in the back. On this car, there is a structural "wall" with only a small pass-through, limiting utility a bit. I was also able to put a trailer hitch on my Prius for a bike-rack, but I looked under the Camry Hybrid, and that does not seem to be an option, so if you need more than a cars utility, maybe opt for the Prius or Rav4. If you can live with a surprisingly affordable sedan, this one is a steal as a used car, and not all that bad new either. Update after 6 months: Other than replacing a loose driving light at the dealership (was loose when I bought it) this car has been flawless. Took it on a 1000 mile vacation trip and it cruised at 70-80 mph and got 39-40 mpg hwy even with A/C, which is higher than EPA rating. Update after 2.5 years and 25,000 miles driving (now has 45,000 miles on it): I haven't had any problems at all with this car, and average around 38 mpg combined. It uses synthetic oil which only needs changing every 10,00 miles per the service manual. The newer version of this car gets 50 mpg, so new or used, I recommend this car.

Best car ever!
Near perfect. No room for big dogs and road noise on the highway was my only issue. Should have bought an XLE, they have more insulation for a quieter ride.

Love My 2016 RED Toyota Camry Hybrid SE
I bought a Camry XSE in early 2016, and while I enjoyed the car, was disappointed in the lackluster fuel economy, which was about 25mpg in a fairly equitable distribution of city and highway driving. While shopping for my daughter's Toyota Prius, I was bitten by the "hybrid bug." I bought a red 2016 Preferred Used Camry, which had been driven only 1,700 miles and was in impeccable shape. Here's the difference between the 2016 gas vs hybrid Camry. My hybrid gets about 37 mpg on average. With its engine configuration, it gets 200hp, and this boost compared to the gas version is evident in much better acceleration. The hybrid version, because of its very heavy battery, also weighs about 400 lbs more than the gas version. This results in smoother cornering and a more "sophisticated" ride. All in all, I'm thrilled with what to me seems like a better vehicle with a better ride that is more gas efficient. Note 3/5/2018 Still in love with my Camry Hybrid! I've learned that it handles differently from the all-gas version, but it's altogether smoother and is less balky. I have about 16,000 miles on it, and average approximately 37mpg overall. Highway trips often produce an average of 40-47 mpg, but the stop/go of city driving seems to take a toll on the overall MPG. Note: 9/2018 Hitting 22,000 miles in stride and still a great performing vehicle. I do love my Toyota!

Great car Outstanding!!
This hybrid has great mileage in a very safe and responsive car. I love the acceleration! It also is totally trouble free!! The trunk is spacious and the car is very comfortable. I'm 6' 3" tall and I find the car roomy. I love the backup camera (how did I live without it)! The adaptive cruise conrol makes longer trips stress free.
