2004 Toyota Prius Hatchback 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl CVT)
No 60 mpg; has some bugs, but good car
 Our Prius averages 44 mpg, not the 51-60 EPA mpg in the ads.  It has been in the shop three times now on recalls.  The GPS-controls and display software needs some upgrades to be competitive with other makes.  BUT, despite these short comings, my next new car will likely be a Prius. It is a work horse, I can pile more stuff in it than in my Avalon, which is a much bigger car on the outside. Interior head and leg room is also better than my Avalon. Prius style is true 21st century; not some makeover of a 20th century design.  It has great voice interaction capability and blue tooth connectivity.  And despite being hard to navigate around, the GPS does an excellent tracking job.
