2012 Prius II - 3 year 51,000 mile review
 I purchased this car brand new in March 2013'.  I have now driven it for 3 years and 51,000 miles.  The Good:  No mechanical problems, excellent gas mileage (I average 45 mpg overall), large cargo space with rear seats folded down (I can put my road bicycle in without taking the wheels off), inexpensive to maintain and seats 4 adults comfortably.  The Bad: Noisy ride, plastic interior rattles, not good in snow on stock tires (I'll elaborate next sentence) and boring to drive (I knew it would be though because it's a Prius).  I live in Pittsburgh which is hilly and gets lots of wet snowy days.  I have stock tires and this car struggles to go up steep hills, slips a lot during acceleration/braking and traction control works funny.  There is an odd procedure of pressing the brake pedal and turning the car on/off multiple times to temporarily disable  the traction control but it is not something you can do in a tricky situation.  It's nice to be able to turn traction control on and off because sometimes it makes driving in the snow harder.  Overall this is a great car getting good gas mileage and its a great highway and city commuter.  I plan to keep this car several more years despite some of the negative aspects.
