Nothing is more important these days than the versatility of your daily driver so when you go to purchase a car, keep in mind these 3 versatile ways that the 2014 Toyota Camry is a great fit.
1. It's great for getting around town.
Not only does it zip in and out of parking spots with ease, but it's super easy to parallel park. The windows give you plenty of room to see your surroundings but you won't even need to turn your head thanks to the in dash- back up camera.
The handling of the 2014 Toyota Camry is fantastic! It did a great job with sharp curves and surprisingly, my shopping bags in the back seat didn't go spilling out onto the seats and floor. And when you need to accelerate quickly or hit the brakes at a moment's notice, the Camry responded very well!
2. You'll enjoy the technology!
At least I did! The sound system is fantastic and it's very easy to use the simple LED screen. Of course you can control
And not only will the passengers in the back seat feel comfortable but they'll enjoy the quality sound as well. In fact, the seats are so comfy, it put some of my friends to sleep, despite the volume of the music!
3. It's budget-friendly.
You're wallet will thank you after each ride because the 2014 Toyota Camry was great on gas. I even did half highway and half city driving and it still impressed me.
It was so spacious that it's easy to carpool in a vehicle such as this one, and once again that saves you money.
So those reasons are just some of the many that this is a great everyday car for the everyday person!

I'm so happy that Spring is here and that means it's time for outdoor fun! I decided to put together 5 reasons why the 2014 Toyota RAV4 is a great pick as a vehicle for people who love the outdoors.
1. It can handle rough terrain.
The 2014 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD has 4-wheel independent suspension and dynamic torque control so it's great with roads that may have bumps and bends. It handled rocky terrain when I took it down near the creek to watch the sunset. Even though it can handle the bumps, you won't notice because it's got such a smooth ride for the passengers!
Plus the Power Steering System and 6-speed automatic transmission will keep it moving efficiently and easily. I love how this SUV handled around turns too. I wasn't clenching my hands on the steering wheel like I do in my car.
2. It's comfortable in hot AND cold climates.
The dual zone Climate Control was amazing. This SUV heats up fast and cools down quickly and it really made it nice with the bipolar Pennsylvania weather. No need to wait for the vehicle to cool down or heat up, you only need a few seconds! The passengers in the backseat will enjoy it as well, not to mention the fact that backseats recline!
3. It's safe and comfortable for long road trips or group getaways.
To ensure safety, there are eight standard airbags and Driver and Front Passenger Whiplash-Injury-Lessening Seats. You won't have to worry about your tires thanks to the tire pressure monitoring system and of course there is enhanced vehicle stability control, brake assist, traction control, and anti lock brakes.
There is a great sound system with 6 speakers so everyone can listen to music if they get stir crazy. There is also an ECO and Sport mode option which does great on the wallet when it's being fuel efficient.
4. It's roomy and efficient.
Whether it's a long road trip or a monthly excursion, the seating in the 2014 Toyota RAV4 is comfortable and spacious with plenty of room for seating adjustments. The gas mileage is great and the navigation system is on point! This is great when you map out your random excursions or when you want a dependable set of directions for your kayak trip.
5. There's plenty of storage space.
If you like fishing, throw the rods in the back! And if you like camping, you'll have no issue fitting all of your survival goods into the trunk. The backseats fold flat which gives you even more room!

You hear the term "hybrid" all the time but do you really know what the big deal is with them? Well, I'm about to tell you because I got to drive a hybrid vehicle - the 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid.
But what makes a hybrid so wonderful? Well I got to learn first-hand what some of the benefits are of this car! Way to go Toyota!
1. Great Gas Mileage
The 2014 Toyota Avalon hybrid technology uses both gas and electric motors in combination or alone to power the vehicle. When the gas engine is running it charges the battery and when the vehicle brakes the energy is recovered and charges the batteries. No need to plug this vehicle in for a charge. This sophisticated management system allows the electric and gas motor work together and provide clean and quiet ride while using the bare minimum of fuel necessary to accomplish this while retaining optimum performance.
2. It's the Most Quiet Ride I Ever Had.
Not only does the engine start with a whisper, but even when you hit bumps, it barely disturbs your concentration when driving. I drive through the city for work and there are TONS of potholes (ugh!) but I didn't have to worry with the Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited because I barely even noticed.
It does a great job of absorbing the shock and the sounds of driving on rougher roads.
3. There's So Much Room for Activities!
The 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited is so spacious inside! The 10-way power seats let me adjust it perfectly so I don't feel cramped or overwhelmed when I prepare for a drive.
The beautiful thing (besides the leather seating) about the 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited is that there is three-zone climate control and rear seat vents. I love the fact that the seats have a heating/cooling option which makes it great to avoid sticky leather in the Summer and freezing hard leather in the Winter!
It was so easy to transport my groceries in the spacious trunk, carry my nice Winter coats when I needed to hang them and take them to drycleaner, and it was very spacious when I had guests ride in the back!
Normally backseats are uncomfortable but since there's so much space inside you shouldn't have a problem.
4. There's Great Technology without being Overwhelming.
I've driven vehicles that beep and blip when I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, so I was relieved to find that the 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited had just enough technology to benefit me without overwhelming and irritating me.
The backup camera was a huge help when parallel parking, and the Navigationand touch screen was such a luxury.
There's even a wireless charging capability option! Seriously, it doesn't get much better than that especially in this day and age!
5. It's Stylish!
I love the wide grinning grill and the color of this car. I love the modern look of the headlights and taillights and I am totally loving the sport edge and the sunroof!
So as you can see, this is a gorgeous, luxurious, fuel efficient car perfect for those of you that are in the suburbs (a little back road driving and some city treks as well) and who want to make their driving experience a pleasant relaxing time.
Thanks to the reliable GPS system I was able to find exactly where I needed to go and the first stop was next to the Harrisburg International Airport runway in Middletown, PA. It was a Friday afternoon so traffic was pretty heavy. 
Luckily, the safety features like the Blind Spot Monitor with Cross Traffic Alert helped me on the highway when I had to maneuver my way through traffic. 
It was a comfortable ride thanks to the heated/cooled seats, the amazingly enjoyable climate control and the comfortable seating. There was so much space in the Highlander so I had no problem bringing along snacks, my camera tripod, and some other goodies. 
The fact that there is seating for 7 and a 2nd row that folds down is great for anyone who likes to travel a lot or who has big dogs and brings them along. With a 6 speed automatic transmission and a V6 Engine, this SUV has a 5,000 lb towing capacity. Despite the sleek and stylish exterior, this SUV has SO much room inside. 
Here I am driving around waiting for the planes to take off. 
And here I am enjoying the HUGE panoramic sunroof.
