make sure the closed car button is engaged--not the open air one
 
I don't know why the closed car is not engaged when the AC is on -- period--but apparently having fresh air and AC air is how people think the AC is supposed to work--which is stupid to me--I don't want to have UN-airconditioned air coming into my car when I am using gas/battery power to cool and maintain the A/C
 
when you press in that closed/car buttom--at least in my limited experience--there is a much higher compression noise until the car is cooled down...

any one out there who has small children- needing room for 3 in the back- one in a regular car seat, one in a booster and one not needing either?

I think once you start stacking a car seat and a booster in any car, it's going to get a little tight. I've had 3 kids in the back a few times (two 12 year-olds and an 8 year-old), and they're a little cramped without all the extra hardware.
 
I love my TCH, but it's mainly "my" car for commuting to work. If it was the primary car for the "family", it may not have been my first choice. I have a minivan to drive when I know I've got to cart a bunch of kids, or for long trips with lots of luggage, or whatever. You might want to consider the Highlander hybrid if it's in your budget. Also, I heard somewhere that Toyota intends to offer all their models in a hybrid version sooner or later, so maybe the Sienna isn't that far down the road?

In Pittsburgh, all 3 dealers in the North Hills are selling only at MSRP, no discounting. And none have cars in stock. Must put $500 down and wait for car to arrive. Same for the Prius.

In Northern New York State, Watertown area, TCH's are scarce. I can't find one dealer with one 2009 in stock within 200 miles. Just ordered a 2009 with all the bells and whistles for full list price with $500 down. All the dealers I have talked to are also offering really low trade-in allowances. Hopefully mine will be here about the end of June.

I don't think though that the TCH is any tighter in the back than any other mid size sedan. About all sedans I've seen lately seem like they are curved for the two outer passengers and the middle is not quite as comfortable. I do have a car seat in the back and it doesn't take up any more room than a larger person would. Two adults and a child in the middle have been more than acceptable for comfort.
 
Yes an SUV is great, but I don't see the TCH having any defeciencies that other sedans don't have.

thanks- we already own an Odyssey (that I LOVE) and will be keeping, however need better MPG for all the driving I do. with the price of gas going up, with no end in sight, I think now is the time. we live in the bay area in CA and we seem to get hit with the highest gas prices first- its hovering around $4 where we are. UGH! I won't have all 5 of us all the time, but need to know if its possible when I do!

I grew up in Carthage, NY, sister still lives in Watertown. Think the TCH will be OK in the snow? I was thinking of a Prius for myself in the Pittsburgh, PA area, got turned off by the stories of poor traction in the snow.

Why Not Lower Priced Models by pianoman1949

As we all know, the cost of a hybrid is very expensive. My question is this: Why does Toyota (or car manufacturers) have to have the upper model eg. Camry as their only model available as a hybrid?
 
I certainly don't need sunroofs, GPS's and a lot of other bells & whistles that come with most of these cars. Can't they just use Corollas or cheaper models? No, they wouldn't be making the money they are right now. Always the same thing...the bottom line...Thanks

there are hybrids available w/o leather or nav systems--those were most of the ones on lots that we saw when we were looking for one in DFW area--
they won't make one in Corolla because you can get a 4 cyl that has excellent milege anyway...
they SHOULD make one for RAV4
there is better battery storage room there than in Camry really
