I finally picked up my Desert Sand Mica TCH on Wednesday (1/10/2007). They drove the car in from Indiana to the dealer in Richmond, KY. I live in Lexington. The car had a couple hundred miles on it from the trip but so far no problems. So far I love the car. 33.4MPG tank average so far. Not too bad I guess since it is cold here in Lexington, KY and I am just learning how to drive the car for max MPG. The car has all the options so I am still learning about the gadgets and gizmo's. I want to get my address book loaded next.

Welcome aboard! There's enough Whiz-Bangs in these cars to keep the gadget freak busy for a long time...

Best tank was 44.2 MPG - traded in on 2013 Mustang V6

Congrat's.

I made the move from a HCH to the TCH within 10 months of buying the Honda. This car is MUCH more of a comfort car. I felt like I was in a little "can" in the Honda. This Camry is a sweet ride with all the bells & whistles. I'm sure you'll enjoy it

The TCH is a great compromise between luxury and economy. I have to hand it to Toyota for getting the mix of the two right.

I got my first compliment from the car itself yesterday. After driving around town I turned the car off and the multi-function display said "Excellent!" to comment on my ECO driving. Pretty funny stuff. The car gives you positive feedback if you are a good "ECO Driver".

Hola!

Brand new TCH owner here as well.

I bought the TCH because I realized it was the only luxury (ish) vehicle with high mpg and low emissions.

Car manufacturers don't make luxury cars that have good fuel economy, they just get bigger engines.

I should know but what does ECO stand for?

ECO is short for Economy, ie good fuel economy.

The TCH also has an ECO button. ECO is Economy mode for the Heat and AC. It disables the air vent electric heating element when the engine is cold, and runs the electric AC in an economy mode to improve gas mileage.

If you set the defroster on, or the temp to MIN or MAX, ECO is disabled.
