I have a 2014 Camry hybrid and love it. I get from 450 to 625 miles per tank (depends on summer and winter mix). During the winter the MPG goes down to 38 MPG since the battery system will not kick on until the car warms up. The car does warm up quick and handles great in all weather. I use the car for all my long distance trips and it saves me money. I did a two week trip to Cal and only spend 350 dollars on gas. Torque on the Camry is great. It did not skip a beat going up and down the hills of Cal. If any of you ever travel in Cal you will understand what I mean by the hills.

Warning about the Prius for the winter state of MN. I would only buy a 2010 Prius and newer for the fact that you can turn off traction control. They are lower to the ground than most cars and will get stuck on heavy snow days. You will learn to hate traction control when the car's tires will not spin because of traction control.
