When I bought an electrical car, I was expecting something very high-tech. The Prius isn't that. Despite the computerized dashboard and the optional GPS, the Prius is just pretty much like every other car. The gas mileage is fantastic, as with most hybrids, and as someone who travels a lot, that was mostly what I bought it for. I also liked the high trunk space, since I'm a musician, which means I can put instruments back there.

I purchased this car in 2009, trading in a gas guzzling Jeep Wrangler. We knew that we were going to be starting a family soon, and wanted a car that was more family friendly, as well as easier on the pocketbook at the pump. It is of great quality (as are most Toyotas) and we have not needed to do many repairs on it. We have been incredibly happy with the car.
