Which should I buy? I can buy the Camry hybrid for about $1000 more than a fully loaded Corolla. The hybrid has 30K miles on it. The real world gas mileage is about 34 for the hybrid and 30 for the Corolla in mixed driving. The warranty on the battery will be up June 2014 or 100k miles. Both have a warranty for 36/36000miles. I drive about 2000 miles a month. I am leaning towards the hybrid because it has a better ride and is a little bigger. I am a little worried about the hybrid technology being reliable.Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!
Used 07 Camry Hybrid or new 09 Corolla?
Here's the secret to hybrid technology ... it only saves you gas when you're driving local. Once you're on the highway, you're burning the same amount of gas.
If you're doing 2000 miles a month, I'm assuming you're doing quite abit of highway driving ... this won't save you any money.
The saving with the hybrid is it turns off the engine when idling and low rpms. This is perfect for local driving.
Either way, you can't go wrong. The Camry is a bigger car with more space. The Corolla is a very economical and reliable vehicle.
Have you test driven them yet? Go for a drive under normal driving conditions and see which one you like better.
Used 07 Camry Hybrid or new 09 Corolla?
i would go for a new car the other one has 30,000 miles on it and thats quite a bit. But a new car has like zero miles on it and thats 30,000 miles you didnt have before
Reply:I'd go with the used Hybrid because you get more car for your money. I agree with the other guy where the hybrid wont really save you much money on the highway. Try looking for a regular loaded 4 cyl Camry.
