First car, hoping to own for a while.

I'm 6'4" and it fits me great. Very roomy and the hybrid is very nice to drive. Super smooth, and I personally enjoy it far more than driving a Prius. It feels fast but also pretty safe, and if you drive good you can get 30+ mpg. I recommend it a lot.

Not worth the money.

The car had several obvious defects. Brakes, car appeared to have been in an accident, glove box door missing, sun visor broken, air conditioner only worked on one side

Starts consuming oil right after warranty expires

I bought my 2009 Toyota Camry when it was new. I still consider it a new car even after 10 years. I had every intention of driving it until the wheels fall off. I have been very particular about maintenance, knowing that I wanted the car to last as long as possible. Soon after a recent oil change with the service station I have been going to since the car was new, my husband heard a clicking noise. He checked the oil and it was empty. At first I thought the service station had forgotten to add oil during the service. We brought it to our mechanic who suggested an additive. We used the additive but a few weeks later and, same problem. My husband checked the oil and it was empty. We are now trying a synthetic additive with very little hope of it working. I called the local Toyota dealership where I bought my car. They said, "Oh, Toyota extended the warranty to 10 years but that lapsed a year ago since you bought the car in 2018." Oh, okay... I am so stressed out about the ticking time bomb I'm driving, the possibility of losing a car I love and about spending money on another car (of any model) that could very well have the same problem.

Most gas efficient and reliable car I’ve owned

This the BEST car I have ever owned. It’s easy to drive and has a ton of space for a mid-size sedan! It’s beyond gas efficient and safe for my family. It’s a great car!

One of the BEST investments I've ever made...

I can't even begin to describe how badass that car was. From the 3.5L V6 to the all leather interior, combined with the tire psi monitoring system/etc, this car was a beast.
