Hi Katz in Toronto,

I am on the West Coast, on the Lower Mainland, aka Lotus land, so dont face the freezing weather down east. But I do occasionally venture into sleet and snow and probably will retire to a place with more snow so am curious about needing to warm the Hybrid up. I have never heard of this. What is the issue?

As for the short km to work, public transit and walking arent possible for me and I also will retire to a place where I need a car.And I really want comfort in this car.

Yes, CGame,I agree. The Corolla is boring.Reliable,economical, but boring.

I want Green = TCH
I want SABs (thanks, gc77584) = TCH
I want a tech toy = TCH
I want some excitement = TCH
I want reliability = Corolla, maybe the TCH
I want a power seat = TCH
I want to test drive it = Corolla
I need it sooooon! = Corolla

In the TCH I dont like:
Small trunk
Its too big
the long accelerator worries me
Cant test drive it
Six weeks at least to wait


Sorry, everyone, I am really writing it all out for myself, trying to decide. I seem to have eliminated the ordinary camry, anyhow. I want to keep reading the posts in favour of the TCH which tells me that's where my dream is. I know if I get the Corolla for another15 years it will feel like yet another practical,boring choice, and an opportunity lost.

I'll just hang in and dither for a while yet- you can ignore me!
