Thumbs up Re: Sold my '06 HCH after 12400 miles. Final thoughts...

Clyde, I totally agree with your observations. We now have 2 HCH'06s at home and have never been happier with any other cars.

I would not pump-up my tires to 50 PSI and then drive it 88 miles per hour ... and then complain that the steering is "woobly".

There is some feed-back from the car, but I actually like it.

I am not concerned about how many times it goes into auto-stop or if the 2 spark plugs on each cylinder are firing, or if the valves are closing to reduce drag when they should.

I now get 4 L/100km, instead of 11.7 L/100km. I used to pay $65cdn to fill my tank, for the same distance I now pay around $25. That and the comfortable ride is all I wanted and got.

I feel safer in my new car, mainly because I drive safer now.

Good look CGameProgrammer with your new Camry !

Best Tank = 54.2 mpg (Sep. 9'06)
