... I like the Honda but when I opened the trunk the fun ended. It is tiny and the rear seats don't even fold down. ...

A tiny trunk is a death sentance

My husband and I both traded bigger cars for hybrids. He traded his Acura for the Honda Civic and I traded my Lexus for the Prius. Both cars are great! We drove the Honda to CA, up to WA and back to TX - seats were extremely comfortable, lots of pep, temperature gauge and oil info on dashboard, cool blue dashboard lighting, truck just big enough for luggage; gas mileage a little disappointing, but car was brand new, so maybe it'll get better.
The Prius has many more options: phone, back up screen, leather, hatchback, fold down seats, plus better gas mileage so far. We're both happy with our choices.

Too bad the Toyota in their infinite wisdom had the Camry Hybrid practically copy the Civic Hybrid.

At least the seat folds.. albeit a tiny hole but big enough for skis/snowboards
