Skeptics are wrong
 I did a lot of research before deciding on a Prius, and found that, though there are plenty of raving fans, there are also a lot of detractors.I read reviews about unbearable seats, terrible road noise, lack of power, and poor driving experience.After test drives, I decided to take a chance, and bought a new Persona model, which is basically an appearance package with a few upgrades, like the 17" wheels, navigation, and leather.I've driven it enough now to comment:the driver seat is as comfortable as any I've ever seen.The ride and road noise are typical for any vehicle of similar class.The power is great in Power Mode, the sound system is great, and the overall sense is great!
