New 2026 Toyota Camry XLE

In Transit. Long known as a sensible and practical midsize sedan, the Toyota Camry looks a little spiffier in 2026. I like that it is a hybrid only, looks nice, is comfortable, has lots of safety features and drives smoothly. It gets better than the expected gas mileage if I don't use the AC and don't go over the speed limit and am not in stop and go traffic. The Camry isn't flashy. I would have preferred a Lexus, but didn't want to pay that much. I got a good deal on the Camry price, quite a bit under the MSRP, but should have gotten more on the trade of my relatively low mileage 2017 Camry. I like saving money on gasoline, having a capable car, and one that can last for a long time and not require much maintenance. But it's not an exciting car by any means. It's a good family sedan, but my family is all grown and moved away. Maybe I should have gotten a sports car. Or a truck. I also have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma that I bought new and which has more than 457,000 miles on it. New Toyota trucks don't get good gas mileage and I found they weren't very comfortable and were difficult to climb into at my old age and with joint problems.
