Stall on Hill by tsy

I think I remember this happening to someone else but I can't find the post.
 
I was at the top of a pretty steep hill, while waiting for cars to pass the ICE shuts down. Hit the gas pedal and nothing happens. Car doesn't move, ICE doesn't kick in. Hit the brake, then hit the gas, ICE starts up and car goes. Strange. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this- I'll have it checked out next time I change my oil.

What a great car. I am delighted to be driving a 5-star sedan that's comfortable, powerful, and loaded (even though I got the base version w/o JBL,Nav,Bluetooth,compass,leather - it's so well equipped I don't miss the rest).
Still on the first tank of gas. 226 miles, 35.6 MPG - wow! I am stunned. That includes some big hills (over the pass between S.B and Buellton), and because of the rain I had the lights, heater, fan, defroster and windshield wipers going most of the time. Still, I didn't do anything special; just set the cruise control to the speed limit and smile. The Camry Hybrid is all you have said - a great car. As for the funny noises, well, I am an engineer, so I marvel at all the great engineering that found its way into this car. This car is the sweet spot. Great 8-way power seat, lots of hip, leg and headroom. So many great little features. The best part for me personally is I have always driven too fast and always knew I should have greater self control. Well, this car now gives me the motivation to kick back and use a ton less gasolene...thanks to you all for sharing how cool this car is. I almost bought a couple of other cars, went back and forth. Finally I was sure the Camry was the one. No regrets!

I'm purchasing a Camry Hybrid w/in the next couple of weeks, but I haven't yet decided if I should purchase a 2007 or a 2008. Any opinions on which is the better model? I do want the leather interior and the NAV.

Hi Susan,
 
I don't know so much about the 2008 but I am very happy with my 07. It has everything I could want in a car for the price and the gas mileage is great (usually about 36 to 38 mpg). I would recommend it to any of my friends. Not just because it is a comfortable car but because it goes a fair was toward getting off our oil fix. In any case good luck.

As far as I know ... the 2007 & 2008 are essentially the same. We bought a 2008 with every possible option around two weeks ago. I would say to go for the 2008 for the simple fact that the 2009's will be here before you know it

I just bought an 08 and love it. I couldn't find an 07, I didn't think there are any left. I ended up w/ leather, blue tooth and alloy wheels. It is a great car. I get great mileage, and it should last longer as there is less wear and tear on the engine. I did purchase an extended warranty as it is a new concept in an auto and wanted to be on the safe side. I had a friend w/ a Honda civic hybrid that did have a major part failure after it was out of warranty.

Susan are you looking at a USED 2007? I doubt that there are any NEW 2007s leftover. 2008s have a $500 rebate now in most places can be had very affordably.
 
The 2009s will be out in a couple of weeks. Probably no rebates or incentives on these.

Hey Bob, long time no hear. Do you have any news on the 09. I've seen that posted but didn't really believe it until you said so.

I am really leaning toward the 2008, actually. I don't want a used car.
 
Any idea what the pricing will be on the 2009s? I suppose once they're out they'll have more incentives for buying the 2008s...

I had read that the 2009's would be out shortly as well. When looking for our 2008 a little over 2 weeks ago ... I showed the dealer the press releases I found online. I said maybe I should wait for the new one's. After passing it around the dealership, they finally told me that the 2009 hybrids would see the sales floor until September at the earliest. He said the other models always come first, and the hybrids later on.
 
I figured they were just telling me what suited them (me buying the 2008 now). We wound up going with the 2008 ... because we didn't want to wait any more. As long as the 2009's aren't much different ... I won't be too mad I guess.
