As a daily driver, it meets and exceeds every single criteria needed:

-Acceptable fuel milage when driven reasonably.
-Decent passing power and handling(no, it is not an Ariel Atom, sorry).
-Reliablity? Think back to your 80' GM.

The hybrid drive is only a means to an end.
It can be geared towards power(like the 918), or millage(like the Insight).

In the end it's only a car.
I rode in a prius cab in NYC, I felt the leg room was crappy.
