Once you get Camry you never go back

I've always leaned toward big trucks and V8s, but late last year I picked up a 2021 Camry with around 18,000 miles on it as a second car. Didn't expect much... I just needed something comfortable and better on gas for longer trips.

Fast forward to now and I'm blown away. Took it on a road trip from Denver to Santa Fe and back. The car handled mountain roads, crosswinds, and semis like the winner that it is. I filled up before leaving and didn't need to stop for gas until halfway home. It averaged 35+ mpg without even trying.

Everything about it... the comfort, road manners, fuel economy... ALL OF THOSE. The Camry makes me wonder why I didn't get something like this sooner. Even the family prefers riding in it over the SUV.

That sounds great! The 2021 Camry is pretty good on gas and handles well. Getting over 35 MPG on a mountain road trip seems about right. Did you have it in Eco mode or just driving normally?

@boats.boats.boats It's wild how a car can totally surprise you, especially coming from big V8s. 35+ MPG on a mountain road trip is seriously impressive.
What do you think was the biggest 'aha!' moment that made you wonder why you didn't grab something like this sooner? Was it the comfort, the gas stops, or just how chill it was overall?
