2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

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.

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.

Car good, manuals/electronics operation bad. 2017

There's a lot in this car but the dealer doesn't bother to explain how most things work, at least our dealer didn't. And the manuals are terrible, especially the navigation/radio/media one. Presumably just badly translated from the Japanese. Has such neat features as to turn off a level of auto dimming, flick the brights switch 9 times while holding down something else. And good luck in a car wash where automatic door lock opener may sort of short circuit unless you disable key and get it far from door. Other things, like having key open and close window and sunroof need to be done by dealer (who doesn't bother to ask). 8-way seat adjust is nice but you can't program in you settings so must readjust everything every time you switch drivers (it's been many years since I owned a car that didn't do this). So I have complaints about things that could be and should have been easily dealt with by company and dealer. But so far (2000mi) no complaints at all about the big stuff like how it runs.

Still trying to shed my wistfulness about no longer having an SUV but this car has won me over. Paid $24,000 plus tax, LE, silver metallic which has a slight blue tint. Mileage at 42.3 mpg is better than I expected, smooth ride, good acceleration, brakes are fine (not "grabby" as others suggest). CVT is fine, I've learned to goose it/ease off to maximize mpg. Trunk space is eroded by batteries but is OK, fit three sets of golf clubs. Driving is much more solid than I expected from a fuel efficient car, and it has a lovely quiet smooth ride. Before buying I was a little concerned that I didn't see much of this car on the road; after driving for three months I am surprised I don't see more Camry Hybrids out there. It is fine in the rain; has been OK in 2 winters (a little more clearance would have been nice). MPG makes gains when the "summer mix" gas is used (April thru Oct) so if I did this update in Sept I'd expect MPG would go up by at least 1.

I've only had this car for three weeks, but love it so far. Great gas mileage, smooth ride, no complaints!
