Reliable and comfortable. Never had any problems
with it. Has a great ride. Not that much power, but I
am not really interested in that. It is a great car to
drive - very smooth and quiet. Would highly
recommend it.

Pros: Great quality and gas milage.
Cons: No hatchback.

The original model Prius was a huge gamble for Toyota that paid off big.  It was such an innovative car for the time, and looked pretty cool then (now it' just kind of ho-hum).  In only owned it for a year, so I can't speak much to reliability, but the gas mileage was great!  I loved getting all the data from the in-dash screen.  I loved the battery-only mode which let you creep up on people and surprise them.  :)  I once got from Kent to Seattle using no gas at all!  It is a super fun car to drive, though performance-wise it's not much of a "car" as a "transportation device."  

Pros: build quality, cost of ownership, fun factor, hybrid!!!
Cons: performance, lack of options

When the city car I normally drive was in the shop, I borrowed Code Enforcement's Prius.  I liked the digital speedometer, it gave me a much better idea of how fast I was going.  Buick Regals had them up to 1992, and I don't know why they quit making them that way.  But there's not enough middle ground between taking my foot of the gas and pressing on the brake.  The brake slows down way too fast, I'm lucky I didn't get rear-ended.  Worst of all, the doors lock by themselves and when I tried to unlock the door to get out and check something, the horn went off for no reason!  I hope the Prius has been improved.

Pros: Digital speedometer
Cons: Too hard to figure out!
