2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid consumer reviews

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.

This car is amazing with it's ability to report all sorts of energy data when driving. Good mileage up to 60 mph at best with an average 38-40 mpg.

I had to write a review because of all the great praise this car is getting here i bought my 2012 camry hybrid xle in march the only thing i like are the looks and the reliabilty this car has horrible steering and is the ride is very rough every crack and bump in the road is felt along w the road noise my 99 honda accord w problems rode better than this car and dont ever run out of gas u cant just put 2 gallons in and get back on the road u will need to be towed and toyota will need to add 7 gallons have to reset your key and and error codes and its going to cost u.

This car performs just as advertised and better.The mileage is wonderful either in the street or the highway 40 mpg or better. The cost of fuel keeps skyrocketing but I visit the pump every 3 weeks.

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.

I am averaging between 42 and 50 MPG with my hybrid in mixed traffic! This car drives like a regular car, not like a Prius hybrid, and it has plenty of pick up. I love how it handles, and how it looks inside, I have the XLE and it is as nice an interior for the money I have seen. A few years ago I test drove a Camry and was not impressed. This 7th generation is a whole new ballgame!

Have only had the car for a little over a month, but so far it has met or exceeded all expectations. We are averaging about 40 mpg with quite a bit of highway driving. It actually gets better mileage in town. We have not had a single problem with the car. My wife describes it as the best car we have had. Our past cars include Lincolns, Buicks, Chevrolets, Fords, & Mercury. We are very happy with it

I have had two previous hybrids. A 2008Honda Cvic which met our basic needs but wanted acar that gave good mileage and have luxury. The second was a 2011 Sonata Hyundai hybrid that turned out to be a very poor car. It gave poor mileage, the air conditioning was poor even after it was replaced and it tended to be jerky. The 2012 Toyota Hybrid is a terrific car with excellent mileage and mine is the luxury model with all avaible equipment. I think this is one of the best cars on the market today.

The 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid xle is an excellent vehicle. The performance is unmatched, the quality is Toyota high and the space is well designed. For being a hybrid, this car is better than many high end models on the market. No one can compare to the aerodynamic design that ends up giving you a terrific mileage of 44 mpg in the worst driving conditions and much higher in normal driving conditions.

Cuirrently have over 9500 miles including a 5000 road trip from Omaha to New Brunswick and back. Looked at other hybrids such as Ford, Hyundai, and Lexus. None touched the Camry Hybrid XLE for the combination of mpg, power, reliability, comfortability, and price. Ordered an XLE with only the backup camera, homelink, and security as options with the forest green. Took a month to arrive. Added privacy glass, clear bra, and mud guards outside of dealership at deep discounts as compared to the dealership. This Camry's style and color is not trendy but with the added accountaments, it looks classy but still seems conservative. Driving between 70 and 75 mph, easily obtained over 39 mpg regardless whether traversing mountains or having four adults and a full trunk. It has snappy pick-up, very quick passing regardless of speed, and effortless cruising regardless of load. The electric lumbar support was invalueable for longer trips. The vehicle controls were easy to learn and reach. I very much like the power button feature as you don't need a key for the ignition, the doors, and the trunk. The back-up camera is very useful as it lessens the strain on the neck when trying to look back as the camera instead gives a good view. Several passengers appreciated the rear ventilation duct and the rear seat space and comfort. The steeering was responsive and precise as was the braking: a good solid ride. Was shocked to find that there is no lighted vanity mirrors. There is no indicator on the dash letting the driver know when the automatic headlights on activated. There is no turning signals on the outside rearview mirrors (there should be with this vehicle). Needs to be better lighting for back-up camera during sunny daylight hours. The phone status indicator should not appear on the screen when the back-up camera is activated because it momentarily obstructs the camera view when backing up. The driver should be able to turn on the the fog lights alone. When unlock key fob is activated, the dome light should come on for 5-10 seconds to locate or provide illumination to vehicle. The front passenger seat should fold forward for longer or bigger items. Camry has a bigger trunk this year and currently bigger than the others, but should still strive for more trunk space. Overall, Toyota did a great job in re-doing the Camry Hybrid: in my opinion, it is the best hybrid on the market bar none.
