    Did you trade anything in? Just on insurance alone, we are saving $128/month!

    No. I sold my old commuter private party last summer and needed to get a new one. Leasing right now but if I like it I'll probably buy it when the lease is up. Only extra I got is the excess wear and tear. Not sure I'll need it but seems to be a good option if I give back the car in 3 years. Body work can get expensive.

    Well done sir!:thumbsup:
    Maybe off topic, but my insurance dropped by almost half on my 18 Tundra vs my 16 due to the safety package. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

    So quick update:

    Last night, I got the opportunity to push the Camry some. I can tell you, she handles very, very well. It has some get up and go too for being a Camry.

    yep. I'm with you. handles very well, very smooth on bumps and has a good get up and go for a 4 cyl
    the XSE also looking really nice. Toyota hit a home run with it. Now if they could get Car Play in place of Entunes 3.0...
    so far I'm at 30/32 mpg in L.A. traffic and 39 /40 on highway.
