Didn't think I'd get a NEW Camry-Update

I was in the market for a CPO Camry Hybrid. Due to the great resale value of the Camry, and the features that I was looking for, it made sense to look into new cars. I made an excellent deal on a new XLE Camry Hybrid with Advanced Technology Package. What a treat this car has been Very comfortable interior, excellent visibility and drievability. I am getting used to the front grill, and it helps that it is the same color as the body on my model. The Entune system was pretty easy to set up and use. The first two tanks yielded 38.75 and 40.1 MPG, real good for a car this size. One year into owning my 2016 Camry Hybrid. I am happier with my purchase every day. This car is more luxurious, smooth riding and MPG economical than anticipated. I have not extended the XM/Sirius package, but all else is just as new.

Best car I ever purchased.

My new 2016 Camry XLE Hybrid so far is the best car that I have ever owned. I have owned many cars but this is the smoothest riding, and best mileage of any car I have owned. The navigation system is great. It even shows the speed limit and street to turn on below the speedometer. All of the controls are well positioned. I owned a 2012 Camry LE and this new 2016 Camry XLE Hybrid has a much quieter ride and improved handling. Love this car. You really need to test drive one.

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!

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!

Three Year and 33K Mile update: Still very reliable. Not a single mechanical or electrical problem. I really like the lane departure warning, frontal collision radar and back up camera/safety system....As far as being a hybrid, I am getting a steady 39 MPG in mix driving (suburban roads). I got 23.5 in my previous car, a Subaru Legacy AWD, so the hybrid system really works. I also like being green.... Acceleration is really good, cornering a bit soft but the ride is very comfortable.

Great sedan; value packed and quick for a Hybrid

This is a great car! It is value packed and super comfortable. I have the XLE in Blizzard Pearl with tinted windows and moon roof. This car looks as good as it is. It is much sportier looking than the Camry of the past. It gets looks wherever I drive and I often get second looks when I accelerate onto the freeway. The gas/electric motor combo is just as good as having the V6... only with better mileage. I also have the technology package, so I have all the bells and whistles. I am completely satisfied with this car!

2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE

I have known that Toyota is one of most a long lasting that can more than 200k miles and strong engine. Also, very smooth on engine and durable. So first of all, I saw this car and it was okay for me to purchase but I was looking other car had better than this then I took 16 Camry Hybrid SE and drove test shortly. It was very quiet and smooth. I've decided that I purchased this car and drove on my way. A few month later, my car had decreased performances and seat uncomfortable and many things happen in my car. Also, when I drove 65 mph or 70 mph on a highway and still not really great on an engine and not enough push on uphill that I had more on gas acceleration and an engine is still in a garbage. The suspension is still awkward and cold/hot condition is slow to increase up. I think its new 2018 is a little better because have performance and look better but I have not driven test yet I bet that it will be the same as current my car then I would never buy in any Toyota.

I've owned a 2001 Camry XLE and loved it, I had it for about 15 years and never had any problems. I've also owned a 2006 Corolla, too small and cramped for me, traded it in for a 2011 Highlander that I had some problems with due to cheap parts. I notice that gradually the quality of all these Toyota's that I owned was going down. In spite of that I bought a 2016 Camry Hybrid SE only because of the reliability of Toyota. This car has already started squeaking and rattling inside the cabin and I have only 20K miles on it. Performance is pathetic when you need to step on the gas. According to the dealership technicians, they say that dashboard parts are made of plastic and it is common and nothing can be done about it. So I thought about trading the car in for a Lexus but they were offering me only $18,000. for it saying, they are making too many Camrys and the resale values are very low now. MSRP was $36,000. +. I will stay away from Toyota's cheap quality meterials. It's a shame, I used to love Toyota's. Not a happy customer. Update. I had to change my tires before 25k miles. Dealer says that, there is no warranty on those tires. I also changed my tires at around 25k miles for my 2011 Highlander.

It's been great again, 2nd hybrid, that allows you go 3-4 weeks before you need gas again. It is doing the great mileage the stick estimates 34-40 miles per gallon.
