I still care about the fuel economy, but the Camry will still do well in the cold. I had a 95 corolla that started on the coldest day in 35 years in ND (sometime in January 2013, it was -56 air temp) after ten hours outside not plugged in. Many of my coworkers spent the day going out every two hours to let their cars run for ten minutes in the hopes they would start at quitting time, some of them didn't. It's tough to match a Toyota I4 for reliability, and the rest of the car is nearly as bulletproof. Well, except the hateful automatic transmission, but I'm sure it's better than most.
