The Prius was a rare find when we were looking for a car. The gas mileage alone would have sold us on it but luckily the Prius had other features we were looking for. Fold down rear seats, a large cargo space with a hatchback, the ability to add a hitch to it for a bike rack were great. One difficulty we have is the overall clearance of the vehicle, it sits pretty low to the ground which is only noticeable when entering or exiting sloped surfaces, the bottom of the front bumper will scrape, and it will sound awful every single time. Despite that, I got to say it has been durable, just some scratches along the bottom from the scrapes versus any real structural damage. Being that it's a 2010 model, we weren't expecting a whole lot on the media connectivity front, and well it doesn't offer much. There's an aux port and a USB charging station which allows us to plug in a Bluetooth dongle to play music through the speakers. The radio kit and temperature control dashboard kit is pretty basic but it does the trick. The seats are comfy and easy to clean. The exterior doesn't look out of place now that hybrids are a familiarity but it definitely has that "I'm a hybrid car" shape. The split rear window is a little odd as when looking through the rear view mirror you can only really see through one at a time.

I got this car on a whim because I'd heard good things about electric models. It drives really well to this day. You do save a lot of money on gas.
