Deciding between Sonata/Fusion hybrid and Prius. Noise levels?

thanks. trying to find some meaningful real world mpg data.

i think one seat folds like the hycam with a small passthrough.

 

Could not see any folding seats online.

 

i read a car and driver review that said 'while the seats still fold, the battery mostly blocks the passthrough'. but who knows?

 

Big hit item on the Camry and Avalon. More usable space in the Prius. But are you better protected against a big hit in those cars?

 

prius seems pretty safe according to most reports. airbags are amazing replacements for steel.
