Easily one of the best cars I've ever owned or driven. The amazing gas mileage saved me a ton of money over the years. This, in addition to the smooth, quiet ride! I'd recommend this car to anyone and literally have! Excellent car for the elderly, parents or even a teenagers first vehicle. In the short time I've owned it, three of my family members have also went out and brought a Prius. If you're looking for reliability, safety and good gas mileage I can think of no car more practical. The only small issue I've ever had with it is performance on unpaved back country roads, which you really wouldn't expect it to handle well in.
