 Don't get me wrong, the Prius is a great car to get from A to B.But it has so many faults, mostly in the way it drives, that I had to get rid of it after 30,000 miles.For efficiency of fuel and space, it's unmatched.It's roomy and gets great mileage.But... The auto on/off of the engine is choppy, the brake feel is eneven, rock hard seats, the steering is numb, the ride is harsh, there are a ton of rattles throughout the car, and the car feels like it weighs twice what it does.Just a terrible driving experience.I was getting about 39 mpg consistently.No reliability issues whatsoever.But in the end, life is too short to drive a car like this.That's why I got rid of it.
