This is a practical vehicle. It is reliable and cheap to operate. It looks like a car. Nothing else. It is not stylish nor fun nor zippy. It will start, get you where you going with only modest gas consumption. It is fairly close to a hybrid in terms of gas consumption, but with far less initial expenses.

This Prius is 6 years old and still running strong! The mileage is great and it is a very comfortable car for a family of 4. It's compact size is fabulous for parking and navigating busy city streets. It has not needed any maintenance beyond changing the oil. Some may not like its design in terms of its "look". It is functional in its look but it's performance outfights its look/style.
