2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Despite devouring miles, our Camry Hybrid loves to sip gas, evidenced by an average fuel economy of 32 mpg over almost 20,000 miles. This figure aligns with the EPA's revised estimates for the hybrid-33 city/ 34 highway-but not our vehicle's Monroney (40 city/38 highway).

Obviously, the EPA, tired of angry letters, made the proper changes. Speaking of angry letters, no editor has submitted any, but several take exception to the Camry's overly touchy regenerative brakes and the transition from engine off to engine on, which has gotten rougher over time and is especially noticeable in traffic. Harwood queries, "Used to be a smoother switch-wonder what it'll be like five, six, seven years down the line?"
