That said - for those with adult size rear seat passengers the Camry has 10% more passenger room. The Prius has more cargo room and that useful hatch that makes it superior to a sedan but inferior to a wagon or a crossover as we now call wagons. 
For $1500 more than a Camry Hybrid I would buy a RAV4 Hybrid. I like the idea of a 40 mpg crossover. Even better would be a Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD for $30K or less.
The Prius Prime no longer qualifies for Federal incentives. |
Personally I like sedans. I had a friend who's sister died from loose cargo in the rear in a 25mph single car accident. Having cargo locked up in a trunk seems safer to me. A good net or other barrier would be a must for me, which is going to take up space. Last I checked, the RAV4 also had less legroom than the Camry. I also hate crossovers and am not sure why. I do like the Maverick though. Why I like the Maverick and hate the RAV4, I don't know.
If I need to take something big I hook up my little 4x8 flatbed trailer I have. I once hauled a piano with my Avalon for a guy with a RAV4 that showed up thinking he could just put the piano in his RAV4. Of course towing a trailer may be less safe than having stuff tied down real well in the back of a crossover. At any rate, this also brings up another thing with me anyhow. I'd have to get a model that there's a way to attach a tow hitch to.
