I loved the fuel economy aspect of the car. The average mpg is above 50. Mpg is especially great for city drivers. There is a barometer that tells you how much your travel cost in a dollar amount. The car is relatively inexpensive and very quiet and comfortable. I have seen many Prius' being driven until 200k+. Maintenance cost is relatively inexpensive, and the car is reliable in general. The design is not top-notch.

I absolutely love my Prius. When I bought it, it was already eight years old with about 75,000 miles, but two years and 30,000 miles later, I still haven't had any significant problems. The gas mileage remains exceptional, the ride smooth, and it has all the features I need. I'm not a "car guy," my vehicles just need to get me from A to B, and for those purposes this car has been perfect.
