Ok I have been a Prius skeptic ever since they came out. Last Thursday as a joke my wife and I went to go look at one at the dealership. I went from laughing to "holy crap" in a matter of 1.5 hours. The car is pretty big on the inside for a car that small. I am 6' 3" and can sit in the back seat with the front seat all the way back and I still had 2 inches in front of my knees. The car drove nice and the trip computer showed 55MPG for our mixed 10 mile drive. Before I get reamed we drive about 60,000 miles a year and the fuel savings would be huge. The experience has changed my opinion on the car.
