I have had several Prius's. This new Prime Plug in is fantastic. On a full charge the car can get at least 20 miles before the gas engine kicks in. If you can recharge it at your destination you won't be buying much gas.

An electric car for 90% of my driving

I had read one review that said the car wouldn't stay in electric-vehicle mode, but that hasn't been my experience at all. For almost all of my driving, I can keep it in EV mode (no gas use). I only used gas once last week, for 3 1/2 hr round trip highway travel. It's very nice to drive, great visibility and handling.

Awesome car, styling, comforts, love the instant acceleration of the plug in power (first 23 miles) since I only get that much of electric only I often race other vehicles that think I am economy Prius. Surprisingly a lot of plastic, for the money you pay, yet more options, technology, than I know how to operate. Adaptive cruise control is a game changer for highway driving, ease and safety, 2020 has a 3rd seat in the back, which I am looking at replacing this vehicle for that reason only. Yes first 20 to 23 miles free, electric only, than a good 56 mpg after that. 450 miles on fill up, 11.5 gallon capacity tank, I believe. Very comfortable, ride, leather seats, heads up display, jbl sound, rocks. Otherwise Love It! UPDATE: Great ride, looks, acceleration from stop line, reliability, build, unique vehicle,not many on the road, jbl sound. Cons, only really get 39 mpg on the highway, get unending paint chips on front of vehicle, hood, had to replace speakers, after a couple of years, could not handle the heat of Arizona, tore.
