I bought this car as a part of my effort to live a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. I frequently drove from Los Angeles to San Diego to visit family, and this car saved me a lot of money in gas. I also enjoy the hatchback, which makes me feel like I have a larger rear window to look out of when I drive.

I bought the Prius on sale. My beloved Volkswagen was totaled in an accident and I needed a new car. The Prius is known for its gas mileage but I didn't realize how much this would expand my world. With my previous vehicle, I limited the amount of driving I did but with the Prius I've been able to drive everywhere! I've taken long driving trips to visit family and friends more in the last three months than I had in the last 3 years! It is a blast to drive and the MPG display is like a mini video game; I'm always trying to drive to get the best MPG. The interior is roomy, I can fit 4 passengers comfortably. There are plenty of cup holders. The Bluetooth is amazing, hands free driving for the win! The speakers could be better, it's difficult to hear them over the air vent. But my biggest regret with this car is that I only got the base model and didn't go in for the extras.
