2007 Toyota Prius Hatchback 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
first impression
 I've owned the car for a month and will review again but for now I love it.  At current gas prices ($2.60) I save $1,300 and was surprised to find it is $250 cheaper to insure than a 2003 forester worth a 1/3 the price of an 07 prius.  As far as I am concerned it will save me $1500 plus a year x 5 years = $7500 of the $16,000 I paid.  I do not consider myself a tree hugger type.  If it were an uncomfortable econobox I would not have bought it.  That said I do feel good about cutting my gasoline consumption in half.
