MPG, all controls on stearing wheel, maintenance reminder calendar
Least favorite feature:
Rear window divides and too small rear wiper. Stearing wheel control lights too dim at night
Advice to buyer:
Go and test drive one. Then realize that rabbit starts and stops must end to maximize mpg
Detailed review:
I bought my Prius in Jan. 2005 and have almost 20,000 miles on it. It has surpassed my expectations. In warmer weather I average anywhere from 50 to 55mpg and in the colder months around 48mpg. I have passing power even going up steep inclines. You do have to lose the rabbit starts and stops to maximize the gas mileage but it is well worth it. Smooth ride and very quite and quite comfortable. The rear window will take some getting used to. I'm sold and am waiting for the hybrid van line up for my next family vehical purchase.
