I'm mystified why Toyota Priuses aren't selling faster in the US. I have to do a lot of driving for my work. I bought a 2004 Prius three years ago, have over 108,000 miles on it, and have averaged better than 50 mpg on it. I received my $1500 extended warranty fee back because I hit 100,000 miles without needing ANY work on the car other than routine maintenance. It's comfortable, and roomy enough that when one side of the backseat is down, I can fit a fully inflated air mattress and sleeping bag in it. It has great pickup when entering a busy expressway, is silent when I stop--really, it's the most pleasant and easiest car I've ever had.
