I test-drove another Camry Hybrid. This one had literally just come off the truck and 7 miles were on the lifetime odometer. Sadly it had leather so I didn't buy it, but it was Barcelona Red and looked beautiful.

Anyway I discovered more about the car. For one thing, there appears to be no average MPG display besides the tank MPG, which was annoying. No trip MPG at all. For some reason there's something that tells you how far you've driven since turning the engine on, and your average speed, but not your average mileage??

Good news is, there is a battery display. You have to press a button up to 10 times to toggle through the display modes to see it, but it's there if you're curious. I'm talking about the non-navigation cars.

Electric mode is actually easy to get into once the engine is warmed, and I had no trouble staying in electric mode at 42 miles per hour for a good while, which was nice.

The car has a nice tight turning radius, definitely better than the 2006 HCH. Not quite as good as the 2005- HCH or the Prius though.

The car is pretty noisy, definitely more so than the 2006 HCH. I don't really care but Camrys are supposed to be very quiet I thought.

I had a chance to look at the interior lighting since the car was initially parked in the shade.
