I believe the Camry can be driven in a fuel-efficient manner in any environment, hilly or not. However, it is EASIEST to drive in a fuel-efficient manner on flat terrain. Many people are getting good fuel economy in hilly areas, and it just takes more patience to learn the techniques for maximizing gas consumption in that environment. You will not likely be disappointed with power, and the Camry Hybrid has received strong owner accolades with few complaints. Certain complaints must be taken with a grain of salt (no offense to anyone)... for example, I had the identical Bluetooth problem that Billy reported, and it proved to be my mobile phone that was the problem, not the Camry. The metal-on-metal sound must certainly be the regenerative braking system... while it's not at all loud, it is a distinctive sound that might make any new owner wonder. And so on. If you live in a hilly area, drive one and see for yourself. Personally, I'm extremely happy with the Camry Hybrid. Good luck with your decision.
