#183 of 196 Struts/springs by pianewman Nov 15, 2008 (7:18 pm)
Haven't posted for quite a while. I've got 18k miles on 07 Camry Hybrid, and would like to upgrade suspension. Last time I posted, someone had tried the TRD springs and ended up with a raised front end and a squat rear. Any updates? TRD still doesn't list Hybrid mods...guess no one else is interested. I still find the suspension uncomfortably soft and approaching dangerous when pushed...yeah, I know, don't push it...

Replying to: rwizard33 (Feb 11, 2007 4:34 pm) My apologizes if you have already answered this question, but I'm a newbie.   Where did you get the wood dash kit? It looks great! I too have the same color interior and exterior on my TCH. What is the style/grain type?   Are you happy with the kit?   Thanks! George
#185 of 196 2009 Camry Hybrid Price by doggydo Dec 10, 2008 (4:13 pm)
So what are people paying for Camry hybrids? A dealer told me he is selling for $1,200 under MSRP. Also, how long can I expect to wait if it has to be ordered? Replies to this message: jbloch (Dec 12, 2008 8:36 am) bbrimmer (Dec 14, 2008 3:41 am)

Replying to: doggydo (Dec 10, 2008 4:13 pm) Not sure yet. I'm going to be buying mine in early January. Edmund's has the TMV price listed at sticker price (Columbus, Ohio area) and dealer websites here also list them around sticker price, but not really sure that means anything. I'd definitely recc. you use the Edmund's dealer quote service--I used it when I bought my daughter's Civic in August; even got it for a bit less than the lowest bid on-line. More dealers using Edmunds now: 4 of the 5 in the Columbus area Toyota dealers are now listed on it, whereas only 2 were registered when my wife bought her RAV4 in January 2007, so suspect that's a sign of the current economic times. I'll repost in early January to let you know what I paid over the TCH invoice when I buy it.

Replying to: doggydo (Dec 10, 2008 4:13 pm) I took delivery on my 09 TCH in early November and had $1K off MSRP. I am very happy with my choice and really think Toyota did one heck of a job with this car.
#188 of 196 DVD Headrest System installed in '09 Camry Hybrid by bgmhntr1 Feb 20, 2009 (8:31 am)
I had my dealer install the Invision (recommended) dual DVD headrest system into my TCH yesterday. THC has almost 5k miles on it and is 8 months old. It works great and my kids are ecstatic about it, but while driving last evening I started to notice a computer like sound coming from under the dash/engine compartment...that I had never heard before...could the new addition of the DVD system be causing this...or since Toyota installed it...should I just chalk it up to the normal wizzardly sounds from this car. Thanks
#189 of 196 After market in dash navigation by dialtone2 Feb 28, 2009 (9:41 am)
Is anybody aware of any after market in dash navigation/xm/cd ++ systems that will fit in the 2008 TCH? I have the JBL factory installed AM/FM 6 Disk CD currently and would like to replace it with a high end combo GPS/XM/CD/DVD unit. Can it be done?

Replying to: pianewman (Nov 15, 2008 7:18 pm) I've been complaining about this since the fall of 2006. No solution. As you say, it even becomes unsafe when the car is loaded. I remember being ashamed of my car once I was taking friends with me (no luggage), with the car's rear end bobbing up and down incessantly. Replies to this message: pianewman (Mar 14, 2009 4:23 am)

Replying to: gillesmtl (Mar 14, 2009 3:31 am) My solution? 2009 VW Jetta TDI Sportwagon w/ DSG. Smaller interior, no nav, no "Jasper Pearl" (GREEN!).   But...it goes like stink, w/o the stink. (I told the salesman...VW should advertise, "More smoke from your front tires than from your exhaust!") Only 3k miles, averaging 36.5 (winter fuel, temps, diesels also have LONNNG break-in...typically 30-40k miles). Hyper-miling yields 44-46+ on the highway.   I don't not miss the 70's Olds vintage suspension of the Hybrid...also saving money on dramamine...   Camry Hybrid did exactly what it advertised. I liked the concept, and the projected reliability (over the VW!), but the handling was a real downer...and I felt, unsafe.
#192 of 196 Re: Wheels [wvgasguy] by spenbaba Mar 14, 2009 (10:11 am)
Replying to: wvgasguy (Jul 22, 2006 8:11 am) I ordered steel wheels with wheel covers from TireRack.com without the TPMS sensors because I didn't want to pay the extra $362 or so over the $500 for the snow tires and rims. Without the sensors, the dashboard icon comes on and flashes for a while before coming on continuously. I don't know of any way to turn it off. The tires work fantastically on snow and ice.
