For the record: I did buy the Prius, and I am very happy with it. It is full of geeky features provided by the alleged 14 on-board computers. Some of them - like the electronic stability control - are invisible, while lots of others are visible in the multiple cockpit displays on the dashboard and on the entertainment/navigation screen. To help me make sense of it all, a 400-page general user manual and another 300-page addendum for the entertainment/navigation system sit unread in the second glove compartment.
My MPG average is still climbing with each tank of gas: On the last one I ended up with 46.2 MPG, on the current one I'm bubbling in the range from 46.5 to 47.0; for a long time it drifted down to 45 when I drove on the freeway to and from work, but I am getting better at using the "hybrid system indicator" display to smoothe out the power draw.
And after 11 years in the convertible, I love the cargo capacity of the hatchback, which also gives the dogs a proper place to ride without muddying up the passenger area.
