2006 Toyota Prius Hatchback 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Super saver Prius
 We purchased the Prius in March 2006 trading in a Toyota Avalon.  Was concerned about the ride and handling compared to the Avalon.  We find that the Prius is equal or better.  Love the gas mileage.  Now have 18000 miles and not one problem.  It's a great car.
