I love my Camry Hybrid!

I have never had such a wonderful car (maybe I am sheltered, but it's true)! In 2007 when we bought this car, I was 6 months into a new job that had me driving over 3,000 miles a month – while I loved my Hyundai Elantra, it was a stick and my left knee would kill me if I got stuck in traffic (always between gears). So, we drove A LOT of cars! I really liked the Camry Hybrid and did a lot of number crunching to figure out that with reimbursement at $0.55/mile I could afford to get one – yeah!

The local dealer didn't want to deal on the hybrids but while we were in San Diego for our 1st anniversary we stopped by a dealership and they did want to deal! My wonderful husband insisted that this car was a tool for my job and that it needed to be very comfortable since I spent so much time in it so we got it all – leather, navigation, Bluetooth handsfree – it's great! I don't know how I ever lived without navigation and the Bluetooth – I do conference calls and all kinds of work while I am on the road and if I need to find a copy shop or a restaurant the navigation is wonderful!

I am a bit nervous about hitting the big 100k mark but all the great stories here have put my mind at ease – I am sure it will be great! I have had one new set of tires and just had to replace the brakes – not too bad at all! I was at the gas station the other day when a ‘90s model Camry pulled in behind me and the owner got out effusing about how much he loved his Camry which had 250K on it! With testimonials like that I hope my Camry can keep chugging for at least 100K more!

Thanks Toyota!
