Some may remember I bought a hybrid six months ago, and at least one wanted an update down the track.
I was prompted to make this post to extol the virtues of the remote control. It went through the wash a couple of days ago and still works. Yea! Maybe this has something to do with the Miele washer because we have found a little frog in it three times now, and only once BEFORE it went through the cycle.
How can a washer that doesn't kill your remote OR your frog be bad?
But the Camry is good. It's not for rev-heads, it is functional but does not lay rubber. I don't like the fact that the engine gets fussy and noisy [not a roar, that's OK] at overtaking speeds. Admittedly I sink the wellie and expect 140 k plus quickly when overtaking. It does it, but objects.
I shouldn't be a rev-head at my age anyway so I amuse myself with the technology which is brilliant. If you keep the throttle steady @ 60, the petrol engine will switch off and you maintain speed from the battery. BUT your power steering, brakes and aircon are still going. They are all electrically powered.
There is an array of information available to the driver and if you are like me, you use it. It teaches you how to drive economically while keeping up with the traffic.
They only cost a little more than a similarly equipped non-hybid car so if you want that size car and do the miles commuting, it's the car for you.
