"The 2012 is everything we liked about our 2007 & 2010 camrys combined with extra features. We opted for the XLE Hybrid and we are not disappointed. The Navagation system was upgraded with a new feature set."

"Purchased 2012 LE end of May. Don't need all the extras of the XLE. What a super car this is. We drove from Phoenix to western Colorado and back, lots of mountains and city driving, amazing amount of power and got 40.9, 40.8 Phoenix to Yuma and back. I retired after many over 30 years as a manager for a German high line dealer and drove and have owned many new import and domestic cars, this car is without question the most comfortable quietest and, most importantly, reliable car we have ever had. My wife is not a car person but she LOVES this car. Couldn't be happier."

"I bought my new Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE in March 2012. I currently have 13,000 miles and the oil change is covered by Toyota for two years is the only thing that has been needed. I often try to see how high my MPG per trip can get, as each trip is calculated by the car. I drive the car in ECO mode all the time and it is only sluggish if you drive it that way. This car really moves at any speed if you put your foot in it. My average work commute consist of 62 miles round trip. Within that distance speed range from 25-55mph with no highway driving. My mpg average since I brought it, has been consistent 45 on the low and 47 on the high. I have had individuals trip s of 32 miles and have reached as high as 60mpg. The highway driving that I have done I normally achieve 41-43 MPG at 70MPH. If you are considering a family car with outstanding mileage look no further."

"We wanted a high-quality, reliable hybrid, and didn't like the Prius enough to buy one (rear view and comfort issues); the Camry Hybrid has gotten great reviews, and has lived up to them so far. Not exciting to drive, but better than previous Camrys in that regard, reliable so far, very comfy, quiet and safe, good sound system. Plan to keep it for 20 years, as we always try to with our cars."

"Our requirements were that it had to be comfortable, have room for 2 sets of golf clubs and some luggage in trunk, and get better mileage than the 20 mpg we got with our Toyota Highlander. Mission accomplished. We purchased the Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE. It's comfortable, stylish(my opinion), nice interior and we have doubled our mileage to 39/40 mpg range on combined city(mostly) and highway driving. All the various gages relating to gas usage are really helpful along with keeping the car in ECO mode. Because of the gages, it definitely makes a person more aware of how they are driving. It records individual trips and many are in the mid 40's and above when paying particular attention to the gages and driving habits. We have had it approximately a month and have had no problems and no need to take it back for servicing. Great car. Great experience so far."

"Lots of nice things built into this car, overall I am liking it. My big disappointment is gas mileage. The dash instruments will tell you you are getting 41+ MPG but when you actually check your mileage you find out you are getting only 35 or 36. Seats are not that comfortable either, though it doesn't seem other cars are much better. The car is very stable and quiet on the road. I asked my our local Toyota service place about the mileage and was told the mileage I am getting is average. You can set the heater to auto but it takes forever for it to actually ramp up. It is better to start on manual and switch to auto after the car interior is fairly warm. I would rather the air did not come on when selecting auto since it affects gas mileage and is often not needed."

"We looked 5 years ago for a good road car for distance travel that got excellent mileage and drove like a luxury car without the luxury car price. There were no cars matching that description. There is now! The 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid is Just Right. It drives like a dream, gets 37 to 42 mpg, depending on driving conditions, and is really sharp looking. Both my husband and I look forward to driving in this car and our friends are all looking for a new Camry themselves after riding with us. Smooth, quiet, great ride, luxury appointments (XLE is better than LE in all respects) and reasonably priced. LOVE."
