Used 2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid Consumer Reviews
A Toyota Let Down
I traded in a 2003 Camry LE when I bought this 2017 Camry Hybrid XLE. It has a harsher ride than the 20003. I have been having problems the last 3 years when putting the car from Park to Drive or to Reverse and putting on the brakes. It makes a loud burping sound. and it has been getting worse. Two years ago Toyota Dealership finally reconginized the problem. They say air bubbles has been getting in the braking system. At the time the car was under warranty. They said Toyota would not replace part causing the problem but to drain the fluid and replace fluid. If the problem started up again Toyota would replace the part. The problem started up 6 months later, ask again while still under warranty to fix problem. They (Dealership) kept getting put off or they gave some other reason for the problem. Now they say it is natural sound for braking. Got a letter from Toyota about a year ago that the blizzard white paint can go bad on the car. Start having cracks in the driver leather set. The person that will be repairing the driver seat said it was probably due to poor manufacturing of the material. The car has 31,300 miles (average 7,600 miles per year) since being bought in 2017. Factory tires are worn down already. Toyota cars have really gone down in quality build and customer service. I keep track of the expenses of the Toyota cars I have bought. The dealership I have dealt with in buying Toyota's and having the Toyota's serviced there has been over $110,000 cash. I am in the market now to replace a 2010 Rav4 Limited AWD (51,000 miles) and the 2017 Camry Hybrid (31,300 miles). It will not be Toyota's. Toyota seems not to want to back up cars under warranty (in my case) and really bad customer service.

Pearl
Buying a Toyota Camry Hybrid is more costly up front; however, it is well worth the investment! You get a high quality vehicle that drives exceptionally well & you save a bundle of money on gas. I get an average of 35 mpg around town & 45 mpg on the highway!

these cars rule
Why doesn't everyone own a hybrid?? I get close to 500 miles on a tank full. My mechanic gets frustrated, after changing oil & tire rotation he can never find something needing service. It’s 5 years old, brakes are still like new!

Go Hybrids! Camry efficiency excels again!
Yes, the trunk is smaller because it's a hybrid. My former Prius had more trunk space because it was a hatchback, but this is because of the hybrid which I believe in, so I adjusted.

Great Gas Mileage
On my 16 mile commute to work I have been getting 37-39 MPG on the way in and over 41 on the way home. My best was 55MPG in stop and go freeway traffic but I occasionally get 50 MPG at highway speeds. There is a net altitude gain of about 400 feet going from home to work so that could explain the better mileage on the way home. I have only had the car for a few weeks but to far I am very happy.
