First Toyota;  Hybrid
 I bought this thing after renting a Nissan Altima Hybrid by mistake.  I was supposed to have gotten a Chevy Malibu, I wanted to compare it to my Chevy Impala.  I'd been nudged in the Malibu direction by a salesman at the Chevy dealer where I bought my Impala, the Malibu had just been redesigned, but I was suspicious.  I'd had a Honda Civic for years, and was leery of American cars, so I bought the Impala instead. I had a 2003 Mercedes E320, I traded my 2004 Impala on that, and after 9 moths, the transmission was needing attention, so I decided to buy, first a Honda insight, since I was a Honda guy at that time, but then drove a Prius, and liked it much better.  More expensive, but bigger, and quieter inside.  The increased gas milage would offset the increased price, was my reasoning for a hybrid, plus my experience with the Altima rental.  It was neat, good in the snow, 41mpg in the Pennsylvania winter with the heater on, but 50-ish when it got warm.  I only had it for 4 months, due to not liking the driver's seat positioning, and some cheap plastics inside, plus it wasn't fun to drive.  Got a 2010 VW Golf.
