 Comments

 Favorite feature:

Everything

 Least favorite feature:

Slight limitations to vision on some in town corners (thick windshield pillar)

 Advice to buyer:

Order one! Mine took 9 1/2 months to arrive (group 4 options)

 Detailed review:

This is the most phenomenal car I've ever owned bar none. If you have any interest in a car that is flexible enough to be a good commuter, family car, utility carrier (up to logical limits) and is fun to drive, then go no further. With gas prices surely going up on a permanent basis, how could anyone consider anything else but a hybrid? The Prius is smooth, quiet, rides well (considering the horrid state of Michigan roads - not the fault of the Prius!) and of course, economical. I think that since I have vehicle stability control, that I'll be getting snow tires but I do this now for my wife's car, along with winter wipers.
