Consumer Reports has picked what it believes is the best family sedan: The 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid. According to USA Today, Consumer Reports found a lot of practical considerations. "The Camry has a nicer interior, more responsive handling, and better fuel economy than previous models," the magazine says in a statement. The gas mileage in the hybrid? An "amazing" 38 miles a gallon. The hybrid was the best of the three versions that the magazine tested. The other two were the standard four-cylinder and the V-6. Prices for the tested sedans ranged from $23,830 for the four-cylinder Camry LE to $33,720 to the V-6-powered Passat SEL Premium. The hybrid was $29,052. The Camry rides well and is quiet. Handling has improved, with quick steering and appropriate response and heft, but is not sporty, according to Consumer Reports. The magazine praises the stitched and padded dashboard but says some cheap details remain. Among other models, Consumer Reports wasn't as kind to the Volkswagen Passat, which it says has "grown larger and softer." The Passat is Motor Trend's Car of the Year and is a candidate for the coveted North American Car of the Year. For more of Consumer Reports' take on the 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid, click here. |
