2005 Toyota Prius Hatchback 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Blue Bell
 My husband first had his Prius arrive in 11/05, I signed on the list and received my Prius in 4/06.  I got rid of a Mercury Grand Marquis to get this car, and was pleased to find how comfortable and useful it is.   The space in the car is amazing.  We camp, and find we can fit all of our equipment easily into a Prius.  The ride is pretty hard, but you get used to it.  Handling is very tight, there is no play in the steering wheel.  There is plenty of power for passing, with both the gas and electric engines engaged.  We get about 47 miles to the gallon overall; we live in an area where there are hills and ski slopes. When stuck in a traffic jam, it is calming to hear your gas engine go off.
