The car is great for long road trips as it is not a gas guzzler. It has saved me an average of $4000 in gas savings alone. This car can comfortably fit a family of 4 for long day trips, but lacks storage space. I can still fit about 2 full golf bags in the trunk. It is just enough for a quick weekend getaway. Many mechanics know how to work on a Toyota Prius; thus, the maintenance and/or finding parts on the car is quick and cheap. However, there are some downsides. It's not fun to drive as there is no real acceleration. The interior is kind of dull and lifeless and some of the parts feel really flimsy and plastic like.

The Prius is quiet and a very easy drive. The gas mileage is everything you would hope for, and there is enough room for most things. The car is a comfortable ride and the computer system keeps you updated on all your car's needs. Easy enough to maintain and is going strong at close to 100,000 miles. It sits low to the ground, so sometimes you bottom out easily. It is not the fastest car and the pickup is low because it is a hybrid. The sound system is good enough. The seats are comfortable, and the keyless start is cool.
