2009 Hybrid Toyota Camry - Review

Filed in archive Op-Ed on October 17, 2008

When asked to review the 2009 Toyota Camry on account of its hybrid status, as I am green that way, I found that it made it as number three in the top 100 Cars by Green Rating.

The Camry is a mid-size, front-wheel-drive sedan, a 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 is available on the 2009 Toyota Camry, but the standard engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder good for 158 horsepower. It has a clean exterior and a comfortable interior, if you are looking for a basic, reliable, get where you're going with a good concience car, this one comes highly recommended.

Buying green is one of the ways to reduce the environmental impact of automobile use. Your choice of vehicle is most important, but how you drive and how well you maintain your car, van, or light truck will also make a difference.

The Toyota Camry is now in its third year of redesign, continuing to receive high marks and good reviews from drivers and reviewers for its quality and smooth ride.

While not the most powerful in its class or the most exciting, it does deliver performance, consistency, and comfort. The Camry also gets good marks for its economy, safety features, and ease of handling, and retains its value well.
