I think it was 5-7 years ago that I was in NYC and it seemed that most taxis were Priuses or a small hybrid minivan (don't remember the model). I have to assume that if a Prius works as a taxi in NYC that it must be an amazing vehicle. I've ridden in one once, a colleague's wife got one and he brought it to work one day and drove me to lunch in it. My other experience with a prius was when one had an impromptu race (probably only up to 40-45mph) with me in my turbo miata. I won easily, but it put in a decent performance all things considered. If I had still be driving my NA miata, I'm not sure how it would have turned out.
A prius is not for me, but I suspect they are great appliance vehicles.
