When I purchased this vehicle, I was originally planning on getting a different car that didn't end up working out. When I found out the dealership had a Prius in my price range, I was ecstatic. My sister had a Prius, so I knew I liked the look, and I loved the gas mileage situation! When I use it to drive around town I hardly ever have to fill up my gas tank, and when I do, it's so much cheaper than what my husband's car takes. And when we travel to visit my parents (a 12-hour drive), we only have to stop two, maybe three times, and save so much money.

This car at first looked like a wonderful fit for me. I get about 46 miles to the gallon. This is important because I'm driving 60 miles per day. It has a touch screen navigation system. This touch screen also includes an interface to change the climate, radio, calendar, energy usage and consumption. This is also where the backup camera display is shown. This is probably one of my favorite features. The car also has a feature where when you put the car in reverse, it starts beeping, just like a large truck. The interior is nice. The seats are grey fabric. The seat movement is manual, so no automatic/power controls. This car has automatic windows and buttons to move the side mirrors. The rearview mirror dims when a cars with bright lights come up behind you. It also has controls that you can program to your garage door. Push button start is great. As long as your key is in the car, it will turn on. If you leave the car running and get out with the keys, it will beep until you put the keys back in the car. Another favorite feature of mine is if you leave your keys in the car, and lock the door manually, the doors will automatically unlock, so you never have to worry about locking your keys in the car. One last feature I enjoy is that I do not have to have my keys in hand to unlock the doors. As long as the key is within three feet of the car, if I touch the door handles they will automatically unlock.
