Stick with the Camry if you do lots of highway travel. Like "wolfgang"
said, if you do 90% city travel, then it might be worth it. The fuel
economy isn't much better than a Corolla out on the highway because it
constantly uses the gas engine. I believe the electric battery charges when
you stop or press the brakes, so when you're out on the highway - guess
what? You rarely touch the brakes. I would think the Prius would be fun to
drive, however. I've heard a hybrid is like a golf cart in how it drives -
my grandma has a golf cart and it's really fun to drive.
