TCC’s Bottom Line

Whether you're looking for a comfy commuter in the $20,000 range or a luxurious, powerful $30,000 family sedan, the newly redesigned 2008 Honda Accord should be on your shortlist.

The 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid melds the automaker's proven, hybrid system into America's bread-and-butter sedan. What's not to like?

TCC Likes

Very quiet and well-isolated cabin
Tight-as-a-drum build quality
Big-sedan poise and good roadholding

Adequate acceleration and great fuel economy
Smooth, well-controlled ride
Very quiet cabin

TCC Dislikes

Exterior styling looks derivative
Rear headroom limited by swooping roofline
Fuel efficiency is good, but not improved

Conservative styling, with little to differentiate the Hybrid
Doesn't handle as well as other Camrys
Difficult to maintain steady speed without cruise control
