Default Re: Of all the cars you owned how would rate the camry hy

Here are the vehicles owned by my wife and I, but rated from my perspective. LOTS of GM vehicles in a row, while I worked for a GM supplier and got a big discount on them. The TCH, the three LeSabres, and the Monte Carlo are all vehicles driven mostly by the missus. I've had mostly trucks, and the next one of those will be a Toyota, maybe a Highlander instead, and maybe a HyHi.

2007 TCH - 9.5 (fabulous!, console squeak, no folding mirrors, trunk a little small, other little stuff deprive it of a 10)
2001 Buick LeSabre - 7 (overall decent, 30MPG hwy, transmission issue, still not my favorite type of car, still own it for kids to drive)
1999 GMC Sierra 4WD pickup - 8 (capable, good ride, reliable, minor problems, tow vehicle, still own it)
1997 Buick LeSabre - 7 (a few minor problems, 30 MPG hwy, ride too uncontrolled)
1994 Chevy Silverado pickup - 10 (zero problems, zero design complaints, good ride, 20 MPG hwy, tow vehicle)
1991 Buick LeSabre - 9 (zero problems, 30 MPG hwy, just not my favorite vehicle type)
1988 Chevy pickup - 9 (zero problems, small design misses, 20 MPG hwy, tow vehicle)
1987 Acura Legend - 3 (a blast to drive, reliability nightmare, zero response from Acura/Honda on my complaints)
1983 Chevy Monte Carlo - 7.5 (zero problems, didn't like the overall design at all)
1981 Toyota Corolla - 8 (zero problems, almost zero power )
1979 VW Rabbit - 6 (fantastic design, fun to drive, tons of recalls and problems, loved it and hated it almost every day)
1974 Toyota HiLux pickup - 9 (zero problems despite teenage thrashing, very sound basic design, it's a 9 only when viewed from biased modern perspective)
