2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid
2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid - Toyota Midsize Hybrid Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
Although the Camry Hybrid is a nice, economical cloud to ride in, it is insulated from any inkling of driving fun.

The Camry is roomy, well-equipped, and has a very straightforward hybrid monitoring system for the driver. You can look at a needle swinging through a large MPG gauge, which also alerts you to EV mode. I honestly never engaged with this car, mostly because it was so overassisted and underdamped. The front end bobs and wanders, needing constant steering-wheel corrections. The Altima Hybrid weighs 200 fewer pounds, gets better fuel economy, and is a more satisfying car to drive.
