   I was a hater before I got this one - now I love it. I drive about 24,000 miles   
   a year in commute traffic. With 0% financing and 60+ blended electric/gas mpg,   
   I almost pay for the car in gas savings over the 2002 Camry it replaced.    
      
   I got one of the last ones before California paused its carpool lane sticker   
   program (electric and partial-electric vehicles get to use the carpool lanes)   
   and the stickers have saved me a ton of time getting to/from work.   
      
   I drove the Camry to work yesterday, I'm getting it ready to sell after sitting   
   for a while. My commute to work is a 2-lane freeway surrounded by redwood trees   
   over a 1700 foot pass or a windy country road surrounded by farms and trees. 6   
   cylinders, 190 HP and fatter, non low-rolling-resistance tires made for a much   
   more fun drive...
