With fuel at $2.00 plus this is the only car to have. We get 52.3 mpg and even higher when we take longer trips. This car is way ahead of it's time and we're happy to be part of the Prius generation. The room in the back is fantastic as the back seats fold flat making for a lot of storage. The AC is great and all electric as is the power steering. Using AC motors we know the car will be in the junk yard way before those electric motors will give out. We can't wait until the Camry is out in hybrid especially if it's the same set up as the Prius.
Best car I've ever owned!!!

It's a great car throughout. Everything works perfectly and it drives far better than turbo-powered Passat I used own. It's very roomy for a small car. I live in New England and it has great winter traction. It's comfortable cruising at 70+ as well (though the gas mileage goes down to "just" 40). I have the GPS/NAV system and keyless entry. It's required no maintenance so far and the drive train is actually simpler than a typical automatic transmission.

A great car if gas mileage and practicality are your primary considerations. You'll sacrifice a some luxury and performance if you are converting from a similarly priced conventional sedan like Accord or Camry.

We have been v. pleased both aesthetically and environmentally. People stop us and ask questions so that we can educate others as to the advantages of a hybrid. Save the earth and save money on gas. The sticker gas mileages are not accurate. We generally get about 40-45 mpg on the highway and in the mid-30s in the city. It does not have to be plugged in as driving and braking recharge the battery.

I only had to wait a week for this vehicle, but it was the longest week of my life! I love cruising along on the highway or at low speeds through town between stop signs with my monitor showing 99 mpg! After 500 miles, the car is averaging 50.9 mpg, not bad considering all the hilly areas I have to traverse. This car has changed how I drive, though. If you have a lead foot, don't expect to get great mileage. You may have to *gasp* start letting people pass you! I love using a POWER button to start the car, and creeping up on unwitting cyclists is hilarious! I love how the car looks, it isn't like anything else out there. I can't say enough good things about my new Prius! Get one!
