Come for the fuel economy, stay for the features
 Prius is synonymous for hybrid, and the Prius Prime is the next step forward. The plug-in battery has worked better than I expected. Since most of my driving is within the 25-mile battery-only range (and I've been able to get the range up to 27.5 miles), I can go for weeks without buying gas. I'm glad that I splurged for the Advanced trim level, because I appreciate features like the heads-up display, rear cross-traffic sensors, and lane departure warnings. The SofTex heated seats with electrical adjustments are comfortable. I also like the Entune app that enables monitor my car charging and turn on climate control remotely. Be aware that you are losing trunk space and a third passenger seat in the back because of the extra batteries. Navigation is large and readable, but you have to update maps through your dealer. CarPlay support would have been nice. I hope that Toyota will make it available as an upgrade. Overall, I'm happy with my Prius Prime.
