I have never before had a hybrid car - so this was a new experience and it take some getting use to, as the car works a little bit differently in that basically everything is electronic including having a key to open the doors and for the car to start by the press of a button. But it gets great gas mileage which every person needs these days with the high price of gas and the car rides very smoothly. When we went to the car dealer and looked at the car from the outside it looks to be very small as it is a compact but when you are inside it has all the room you need for comfortable sitting and plenty of room in the hatchback trunk to store items. I also like that it has blue tooth for our phone so that we can make calls in the car and speak and hear via the internal speakers. Plus the radio system and DVD system is very good with good speakers. Also via our phone or an mp3 player you can play music or audio files as well and even the Google gps system will speak through the car speakers. All in all it feels like a space age car. We see many Prius here around the Seattle area and we have heard it is the most popular car around, what is there not to like? We feel safe driving in the car, the car is fun to drive and performs well - the breaking seems we have to do a little bit extra and the acceleration takes a bit more. I don't like the way they designed the back window, when you look through it there is a divider that takes a while to get use. Its almost a year old and we have not had any problems with it and the shape has a unique and futuristic look.

Well this car which is a hybrid gets unbelievable gas mileage - over 50 miles per gallon in the city - plus we have never had any problems with the car and via Toyota for just about the first 2 years, the cost of preventive maintenance has been free. The cars drives well and it comes with all the modern conveniences such as a great radio and speakers. We are able to connect our cell phone to the car to speak to people via the internal car systems. In essence, if you need a small car to get around this is the car you want to have. It might be a bit expensive but it will last you for a vey long time. We rate it totally at the top.
