Camry or Prius?

The Prius gives the highest mileage but the Camry is an excellent ride. Also, you have options for used Prius to reduce the cost.

The Prius is an overall amazing car in that it maximizes fuel economy while providing a very nice car that's surprisingly big inside--virtually the size of a Camry--and that acts and drives and feels like any other car. The whole "hybrid-ness" of it is completely hidden from the driver.

If you don't mind a hatchback, take a very serious look at the Prius.

The Camry hybrid is kind of a pig, from what I've heard.

This has been discussed previously at some length, in this group and elsewhere. Suggest you search the archives.

It depends on what you want your car for. The Camry is a very nice midsize car, and the hybrid gives it better oomph than you would get with the 4 cyl model, as well as 12 more mpg in city driving, but not as much oomph as a V6 Camry (but 16 more mpg in city driving). The Prius was specifically designed with gas mileage in mind, the Camry hybrid was designed with additional power available to the 4 cyl in mind.

This is a purely personal decision. What prevents you from deciding between the Camry Hybrid and the Prius?
