2016 Toyota Prius Hatchback Two 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Comfy & Economical
 I have always driven a hatchback because I prefer the cargo functionality.  The Cargo space in the 2016 Prius is adequate but not larger than my old Honda Fit (and obviously does not have the "magic seats" of the Fit).  However it works.  What I am most impressed by is the smooth and relatively quiet ride of the Prius.  I almost feel like I am in a luxury car.  I find the performance and handling to be quite good.      Obviously, it does not have the same pick-up power, but they provide a button to give you extra power.  Problem with that is that it needs to be more easily accessible - like on the steering wheel.  Who is going to remember where the powerboost button is in the moment of need?!    I have owned the car now for 1 1/2 years.  The controls and buttons are definitely confusing and not intuitive.  Unfortunately, the way the to controls are designed makes for distracted driving.  The control panel may look sleek, but you have to look down at them too much in order to operate them.  The WORST Feature:  the beeping sound when in reverse will drive you crazy!!  Does not make any sense to have this as an internal sound (rather than external).  It is very unsafe because it is so distracting and annoying to the driver.  I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THIS DISABLED BY THE DEALERSHIP!!  What a relief!!!!!What I wish was different:  As with virtually all cars - the the headrest that pushes your head forward and the bucket seats are AWFUL for your posture and comfort.   Just the same, this car is very comfortable.  Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and glad to be doing my part to reduce fossil fuel consumption.
