Happy Prius Owner 
2009 Toyota Prius Hatchback Touring 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Value for Money Finally
 We purchased our new Prius in Dec 08 and promptly drove from Florida to CA and back.  5900 miles with no problems and $125 in gas costs for the entire trip.  Since then we have put another 17000 miles on it with NO problems mechanical or otherwise.  I am looking forward to purchasing another in the not to distant future.  Excellent value for money.  Gas mileage after the first 6000 miles went from 47 highway and 49 city to 48 highway and 51 around town. Got to love the savings. Cruising speed is comfortably up to 80 interstate with no significant loss of economy.  A pleasure passing the clunkers going over the great divide.
