2005 Toyota Prius Hatchback 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Love My Prius
 Others can give technical reviews - I will just say I drive a LOT (36k/yr) and switched from a GS300 Lexus (sports sedan) to the Prius, and it has been wonderful!   Excellent mileage is a given (45-47 on all roads, all weather).  I drive faster than I should so slowing down would eke out 3-4 more mpg.    Interior is very well-designed.  Displays are different from American cars, much more efficient and user- friendly, and the display info is amazing.   NO REPAIRS YET at 105,000 miles!!  I have had many cars and all needd repairs before 100k miles, except the Prius.  Of course I needed new tires, oil changes, maintenance.    Handles well, easy to turn/park, love the hatchback.
