2008 toyota camry hybrid Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Although maximum performance is not a priority for hybrids, this Camry goes from zero to 60 mph in a very respectable 8.4 seconds. Power is directed to the front wheels in a seamless fashion through a simplified continuously variable transmission (CVT). Like most hybrids, the Camry took a hit this year because of the EPA's revised fuel economy calculations. Still, 33 mpg city and 34 mpg highway are very impressive results, and the city number in particular is more than 10 mpg better than other four-cylinder sedans. The Camry Hybrid is also an Advanced Technology Partial-Zero Emissions... |

2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The driver's seat is comfortable and sits high up, giving drivers a commanding view of the road. This SUV-like perch is common in minivans, but often leaves you feeling like you're sitting straight up, like a bus driver. That didn't happen in the Odyssey. Features The 2008 Odyssey has four trim levels, and they vary greatly in price. The base LX starts at $25,860 and comes standard with a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, an auxiliary jack for MP3 players, cruise control, remote entry, 16-inch tires with wheel covers and a CD player. Move up to the EX, at $28,960, and Honda adds steering-wheel... |

2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Estimated gas mileage is 33 mpg in city driving and 34 mpg on the highway. Safety All 2007 Camrys have seven standard airbags. They include the required dual front airbags, plus front-seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags. A driver's knee airbag is also included. Four-wheel-disc brakes have standard ABS, and an electronic stability system — optional in other Camrys — is standard in the hybrid. Driving Impressions Under anything short of full-bore acceleration, the Camry Hybrid feels unconventional. Without the sound and feel of a traditional drivetrain revving through its... |

Why should I also consider these?
The Altima Hybrid, which also has a full-hybrid system, has mileage and overall performance that's very similar to those of the Camry Hybrid, but the Camry's interior is a little roomier.
The luxurious, diesel-powered Mercedes E320 Bluetec seems like an unlikely competitor, but it also attracts buyers who want to decrease their petroleum use, and it gets 32 mpg on the highway.
To its credit, the E320 Bluetec rides, handles, and accelerates just about as well as the gasoline E350, but it's more than twice the price of the Camry Hybrid.
Or if you'd like a full-hybrid powertrain in a compact SUV, there's the Ford Escape Hybrid, which is rated at 34 mpg city, 30 mpg highway.
Finally, if you don't need all the space of the Camry and don't mind a hatchback, you might as well go for the much more fuel-efficient Prius, which gets 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway.
