Great New Prius V Model — Good family car with a ton of space… We're averaging about 44 mpg… We picked the car up for about 2K under MSRP… I'm 6'1 tall and it's a lot more room than our old Prius… Mileage in town is outstanding.

Pros

Incredible mpg while handling like a sports car.

Cons

I don't get to stop at the gas station to buy donuts every 3 days like I do with my SUV.

My New Blizzard Pearl Prius — Awesome handling, quiet ride, 50+ mpg, stellar looks, doesn't kill your wallet at the pump. Build quality is first rate. Why can't US manufacturers build cars like the imports do? The Prius with the Plus Performance package is an incredible car to drive. It handles like it is on rails yet will get well over 50 mpg. What more could a person say? If you can afford to buy one, do it. It will be in your family for many years to come and pay for itself many times in that period. Today's performance is not about running 105 octane trick gas and getting less than 10 mpg while collecting tickets. It's about spending as little on gas as you can so you are not funding those crazy oil producing countries so much.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Everything is awesome on this car.

Cons

Nothing, it is an amazing car to own.

The Prius Everyone Would Want To Own. — Not as quick as a Prius with 15" wheels but ample power to accelerate onto highways. Zero rattles. Stellar appearance. Cost of ownership is very low. The car handles incredible. Excellent and super fun to drive on twisty roads. Not a race car but enough acceleration to have fun yet get around 50 mpg.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
