Jerry, 1st make sure the oil, tire pressures and driving methods are correct. Also, are you using regular with ethanol? If so stop using that gas. If your problem persists, get with the Toyota district manager for your area. Not the dealer. You should be able to call Toyota and get his name & #. Make an appointment to meet him personally before talking about your issues. If this does not resolve the problem you can file lemon law with your state. It is always better to go through the other steps 1st. Good luck! Rich |

I am thinking of purchasing a TCH and wondered how the TCH performs when climbing a steep hill. Does it feel as if it has enough power? Is there loud engine noise or does it sound harsh when climbing a steep hill/incline?

And it has the added benefit that when floored both power sources kick in, supplying surprisingly quick acceleration when needed. If one keeps in the mind that the TCH was designed for economy first, it won't disappoint. |

Purchased a 2008TCH for $27,587.00 Plus $453 as dealer fees plus tax - the out-the-door price $30K at Tampa, Florida My dealer is Courtesy Toyota. I did the entire deal through email and closed the deal on 10/31/2007. It is a Barcelona Red Color TCH 2008 with * Upgrade Package with GPS Navigation * Leather Package * Convenience Package * Floor and Trunk Mats * Sunroof Package Ride quality - It is a very smooth and classy ride. Interior I did not like the Nav much. It is too confusing. XM ready is also not correct, if we need to buy receiver and subscription, what else makes it XM Ready, I dont know. Just a fake statement. Leather is top quality. Sound system is OK. Interface could be better. Mileage I am getting a steady 43 mpg in city driving. If I buy another car, it will be Toyota Prius. Such a wonderful mileage from these Toyotas!!! I am much more glad when I see the gas prices go up. Could not imagine how I was able to pay so much for gas all these days. Long Ride - I will make a trip to Orlando next week and see how it fares on interstate. Price Thanks for Edmunds.com It helped me negotiate with confidence. I started with $1500 less than invoice and ended up paying a little over invoice plus fees. Not sure if I got a good deal or not. If they could make more TCHs and decrease the price, I dont see any reason for selling regular Camry's. It will also interesting how it would be if they mate HSD with V6 Camry. Over all a big  I love my TCH

lzc and plknj, Thanks for your comments. I plan to take a test drive in several weeks. A TCH may be my future ride. |

Hit the 2500 mile mark on the hybrid camry. Between the wife and I driving we get between 32 to 40 mpg. I tend to push it easier so I get the higher mileage...On highway we are getting always in the 38, 39,40 range. Push it hard and yes, the mileage will suffer especially if one thinks they are a jack rabbit from a stop! Did an oil change with Quaker state 5w-20 and a fram filter. Have been using fram filters in all my cars. (Do oil changes myself) Use quaker state in all my cars but 5w-30 in the others.. I have never seen a benefit from Synthetic oils so I stick with the standards. (125k miles on our 2000 montana minivan and 102k miles on my avalanche. Neither car burns oils, spark plug changes at 100k miles and they look like new but the gap is slightly larger as one expects. Anyway this is how I will follow through with the camry hybrid and see what happens...PS: Fill the oil filter with oil before installing during new filters. Oil pressure builds faster so the engine will not run dry as long as an empty filter. (This is why I do the changes myself) I will move to the every 3000 mile oil changes from here on out...Live in Atlanta... Car still rides smooth, quiet, and my wife LOVES the hands free bluetooth built into the car! Oh my ears hurt !!!!! Ed the Rock |

Does anyone know how long the battery for the key fob is supposed to last? I have had my TCH since July with no problems. Today I had trouble locking and unlocking it....there was no response at all when I pushed the buttons on the fob. I used the "emergency" key in the fob to get in the car and had no trouble starting it. Once I was home it locked/unlocked without any problems. I will call the dealer tomorrow......
