I drive on LA freeways, and I do not overdo the acceleration and braking. I watch the traffic and anticipate trends. I do not use the brakes a whole lot, and gently accelerate. I'm not driving a hybrid, just being efficient.
Just for reference, when I put "QUOTES" in the post, it means I am quoting another post. You replied to something that I didn't originate.
That's odd, aftermarket Michelins have mileage warranties. The pair I bought had 80K miles (prorated, of course).
I forgot about that. Yes, the Camry Hybrid should definitely have memory seats.
My new, loaded, '07 TCH has almost everything... but not memory seats! Though I just added Xenon headlights which my Toyota mechanic told me could void the warranty! I'll use them until they burn out... but what a difference... easier to see the deer at dusk and dawn.
I'm sorry but I don't think you have a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. I have a fully-loaded version, there is not a factory option offered that I don't have, and I do not have memory seats.
The alternative was fog lights... Toyota told me that the fog lights would cost around $1,000 as the car was not set up for them. After market would require some drilling and only save me a few dollars over the xenon.
The only down side is that it technically voids our warranty with Toyota... so I have my old lights if I need to switch them out. I am no longer squinting and driving in the dark is much easier.
The "ONLY" downside? Doesn't sound like you place much value on that. If I believed that I think I would rather take my chances with the deer.
I live in deer country too. However just replaced my front bumper cover ($650) but it was a large dog instead of a deer. Lights would not have helped me.
If something like frying your wiring happens and you put your old lights back in don't you think maybe Toyota might question that?
Do they mean your entire warranty or just where the lights are concerned.
Im starting to wonder if I made a mistake going with Toyota.
Ther should be a site where you can ask Toyota a question.
It seems reasonable to me that they warranty their work, not yours or the work of a 3rd party.
As for making a mistake with a TCH... I love my car. I have had other cars that have better design features... controls on the steering wheel, seats, navigation, etc. But I would still trade them all in for my TCH. It's a great car with great mpg.
Increase mileage per tank like doubled? Engineers will shoot this idea down. Nice to fantasize.
battery pack that would allow me to go the 7 miles to the highway on battery only. This would greatly enhance my enjoyment of this car.
It's a great car already, but that would be a good addition.
I want to improve my lighting and radio reception without voiding the warranty.
Ps fe seems to run between 34 and 37. Anyone else experiencing this. Would synthetic oil help?
Does anyone know about the Shark fin antennas on the high end cars?. I would assume they would get great radio reception. All I have now is what Toyota calls a multidirectional window antenna. They say its a fibreoptic cable and aftermarket shops say they cant do anything with it.
I love the car but my wife only gets about 34 mpg. Would synthetic oil help?
Ive been trying to pene
trate the armor of Toyota Corp to get real answers to my questions. The customer service number seems to be for easy to answer questions only and they bounce you back to the dealer.
I contacted JBL about the stereo and they said Toyota OEM manufactures their own JBL stereos.
Between learning how to drive the car and the 3,000 mile mark... I started to get better mpg's. Found little difference in the oils... I use a blend. My mpg's went from 32-34 to 38-41. It takes time and practice and sometimes annoys my wife.
My auto specialty store is great at evaluating radios. With my Saab they said there is no point in trying to switch speakers.. so before you do anything take it to someone who knows and find out if and what you could replace it with, otherwise just do a Sirius or XM add on... easier and cheaper. Hope this helps.
I wonder if they could tie in to the 120 amp power outlet in the console?
I have no other use for it.
I have the box the lights came in, if you need more info I can get it for you.
I sent this question as a reply today and my mail program returned it so here it is as a new thread.
Also does anyone have a problem with brake squeal?
