Default Re: New Toyota Camry Hybrid Review in PCMAG

I think for computer magazine this review is not bad, better than some I saw in car dedicated magazines lately and they seem to have more balanced, objective look at the car. I think they missed driver's side knee airbag. I have no problems with PRO list, except how the "easy to negotiate site" is related to evaluating the car itself, are they talking about Toyota website??? CONs, again how did the website issues got there and why I don't know. Shudder during engine start is much, much less than in any standard car I've ever seen, even at the worst times (yes, sometimes its worse than others) and the only difference is that it can happen at any time, I never notice it anymore, once I got used to it. I also don't understand their complain about noises, there is some electric whining which I hear when the radio is off, ICE is off and my windows are open, but I think rolling tires are actually louder than electric motor and if the ICE is running I can't hear it no more, so how is that bad and as comparing to what? Since they say it's common to all hybrids, they're not suggesting that this little sound is louder than the engine in regular car?
