The Prius is an excellent car. It has given me no problems and it has 110,000 miles on it. It has better gas mileage than anyone else's car that I know of. It looks nice and it surprises people with how large it is inside. People used to think eco-friendly cars were small but now they do not once they ride in my car. The trunk opens so large that I have been able to fit furniture in it while moving a number of times.

When looking for a used car, I could never have guessed that I would be able to find a hybrid in great condition on our small budget. We were very lucky to find a seven-year-old Prius for under $7,000 with very little wear and tear and no major issues. Fuel economy was a big concern for us. We don't drive much, but we don't want to be driving a gas guzzler when we do.
