Default Re: Toyota Camry Hybrid - A finicky or fragile car?

It corners like the XLE-V6, it brakes similar to the XLE-V6 (no regen in the XLE) but the TCH does NOT accelerate like an XLE-V6. If you reeeeely need a V-6 because of your driving habits looks elsewhere. The TCH beats the Camry's with a L4 engine but it is not in the same class as the V-6 in off the line acceleration, passing and hill climbing.
I own one of each so I know about which I speak.
I drive the TCH and the wife drives the XLE-V6. Both cars have their niches. The TCH for around town the XLE-V6 for trips.
