So used to that hybrid quiet... - GreenHybrid

My husband's Yaris was parked behind my TCH in the driveway, so when I had to make a quick run to the grocery store in the rain the other night I thought it would be easier to just take the Yaris. Well, I have discovered that I am totally spoiled by my TCH having the climate, audio and phone controls on the steering wheel.

And, I also discovered that I have grown so accustomed to my TCH's quietness that the Yaris, and several other ICE-only vehicles I have ridden in lately (including a Lexus SC) sound quite loud to me.

I just traded in my 2005 Prius to get my TCH. I can't believe how quiet the Camry is compared to the Prius.

I wish I had a nickle for every time a new passenger has commented "Gee this car is really quiet".
