Absolutely not. The Camry would be a better vehicle for comparison.

It's rather subjective, but they're not very comparable. Test drive
them and see.

My college roommate was all ready to buy a Prius until he sat down with
the salesman. The Prius was going to cost him $0,000 more to buy that
the Corolla LE he eventually did buy.
As he said $0,000 buys A LOT of gas.

If he was happy with a lesser vehicle, more power to him. I personally feel
like I got a well-sized 30,000+ car for 26,000 ... and with gas trending
upward again... I'm content...

My friend can afford any car he wants, but a car is just an appliance to
him. Just him or maybe one other person in the car 99% of the time.
Corolla works just fine for him.
