2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid generally love its smooth driving experience, impressive gas mileage, and comfortable interior. Many appreciate the balance of power and economy, making it a fun vehicle to drive. However, some owners have highlighted concerns about maintenance costs, particularly with brake issues that can arise unexpectedly."
Now this is what driving was meant to be. Great gas mileage, a lot of power and many comforts. If you want a car that gets over 33mpg with many averages up in the 38-40mpg area then this is the car for you.
July 31, 2009Drives smoothly, great gas mileage and low cost of ownership. Toyota does it again.
January 23, 2022She likes it so far, although the seat is not as good as her old Lexus. We will see how it holds up, our previous hybrids have done well. This one is much more comfortable. Good power with the electric assist. We had an issue with the brakes recently. The lights came on and alarms screamed and scared her to death. When I took it to my mechanic the next day I could feel the brakes engaging although I wasn't doing it. When I got to the shop the left front wheel was warm. The mechanic said the code said "low pressure in the accumulator" in the brake actuator and maybe I should take it to the dealer. While he was backing out of the garage very slowly, the brakes engaged on their own, then the lights all went off and the alarm stopped and it's been fine ever since. The dealer said everything looked good, and they wouldn't advise do anything. A new actuator is $2800.00 for the part alone.So we are just driving it. Might have been a computer glich, no one seems to know. Update: They had a recall for a brake problem, it only messed up that one time. We have grown to like it very much, my Prius's seats are not as comfortable for a long trip, the mileage is under 40 MPG but still very good. I can see why Consumer Reports ranks it #1.

June 12, 2011I love the way it drives especially only being 4 cylinders and a hybrid to boot! The gas mileage is outstanding. Well worth the cost for the hybrid. I save in gas! Fun to drive? Oh yeah! Even has a little bit of luxury added to it!
