Toyota Camry Hybrid – Brian Chee’s Advice:
With a strong Camry appeal, an above average fuel economy rating of 33 mpg, plus the clean factor of driving a vehicle that spews out virtually zero pollutants, the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid looks to be a strong contender for those interested in buying a $26,000 or more sedan. But with buyers of the Prius still on waiting lists, the real home run would have been to offer the hybrid powertrain across all Camry V6 trims – meaning $3,000 less for a $22,000 Camry LE with Hybrid option. Toyota’s strength, after all, is making cars that appeal to many people, and it’s my opinion that at $26,000 – this car is too expensive for many Camry shoppers. With dealer markup and the rest, it’s a shame that the Camry masses really can’t afford one of the most advanced Toyotas ever.

Toyota Camry Hybrid – Ron Perry’s Advice:
Overall, my experience in the Camry Hybrid was a good one so I would have to recommend you test drive one if you are in the market for a hybrid. Definitely sit down and figure out if the gas savings will compensate for the higher price of the car and whether or not you can live with slower acceleration. These are important considerations and shouldn’t be considered lightly. What you feel you can live with today might, over time, become a nuisance. I personally couldn’t live with the acceleration compared to the lively feel of the standard Camry V6, but I do lots of freeway driving where acceleration is needed and appreciated.

Toyota Camry Hybrid – Thom Blackett’s Advice:
This is a tough one. On one hand, the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid is surprisingly lively and can be driven quickly while still returning admirable fuel economy, at least for this size of vehicle. On the other hand, I think about the iffy build quality and my aching back. Maybe the example on your local lot was paid more attention before being shipped, and maybe your back is more forgiving than mine.
