Replying to: mdtms2 (May 06, 2006 1:46 pm) The aftermarket leather is being done by the dealer for $1500. They will put it in next week. They are currently checking to ensure that the pattern for the hybrid is the same as the pattern for the other Camrys. It shouldn't affect the warranty.

I picked up my new "baby" the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid on June 27th! I'm stoked. I'm trying to find reasons to drive right now it's so nice. It's silver, doesn't have the NAV system which is OK with me. It's probably the nicest car I've ever driven maybe even been in (since I've never really sat in a luxary car before). I went from a 1995 Eagle vision which was doing well to get 17-18 miles per gallon in town even when I paid attention to how I drove (rarely in the last couple of months would I exceed 2000 RPM's on that car). Now I'm further challenging myself to get the most out of the electric motor. Two trips yesterday I bettered 40MPG according to the Eco drive readout. This morning on the way to work from a "cold" start it was in the 32 MPG but i only drive about 3 miles to work every day. I find myself traveling the speed limit a lot more wanting to use the electric motor as much as possible. I find myself easing off the line. Heck if it werent for the approach and incline of the bridge I cross to go over the ohio river each day, I would hardly tax the car at all! I didn't buy the TCH solely for it's FE. I bought it because it was the most comfortable and roomy car I've ever experienced. I test drove a Mazda 6, a Honda Accord, a Pontiac G6 and Grand Prix, a Nissan Maxima (or was it their altima I can't remember) a Camry LE and a Camry SE. and they Hybrid was just the most comfortable and most enahanced featured vehicle I've ever been in. It looks great too. The only drawback was I couldn't get one in the barcelona red or blue ribbon metallic. I pretty much settled on Silver. It's a great day to drive a TCH!!! |

We just picked up our new Barcelona Red TCH, fully loaded. It was a great relief, as my hubby had never seen the color red on the camry, and was holding his breath! He LOVES it. We've only driven it home, set up the home link, and paired a bluetooth. Well, we did map our address on the NAV, but I am reading the book now. I'll have to play with it all day tomorrow. I am amazed at how complex the NAV system is!!!WOW. Seems more detailed than the Acura TL we were test driving for 10 days. More tomorrow!  By the way... I need a DVD demo disc to show me all of the features! THAT would be WAY cool!!!!

I just picked up my super white TCH last night! Got a little under MSRP (not significant though) and only had to wait a week for it to get off the truck. Even though it's a 'base' model it came with the moonroof, VIP alarm, Remote start, spoiler, and the accessory package. A loaded one unfortunately doesn't cost much more than this one, but I didn't feel like waiting, especially since the Tax credit will probably drop after this month.  Wanted leather but would have had to wait a few months- I saw an example of aftermarket leather which was very supple and nice- maybe better than Toyota's. The car handles much better than I expected- not much worse than the SE I also test drove. They've certainly made a lot of improvements to the ride and handling. Still really quiet, almost Lexus levels. Plenty of pickup, much more than adequate for driving around town. I've had the car for less than a day, but my wishes are: 1. Break away side mirrors. I can't believe it doesn't have them! I'm sure the cars in Japan have them! (probably power folding) 2. Memory seats. (are they keyed into the remotes?) 3. Nicer exhaust sound. (I know, picky, but it sounds too much like a tin can!) 4. Power outlet in the center console storage. 5. Side mouldings. (I know they're an option) 6. Backup camera option with the nav (might have waited for this) I know, all nitpicky, but there really isn't much to complain about. Very well made and designed. I'm quite happy with it! tom |

Replying to: tsy (Jun 13, 2006 9:45 am) So you were able to get a spoiler? I had not thought those were available yet...? Also, how does the remote start help it is a hybrid and doesn't take anytime to warm up?
