 The 4th generation Prius is a quiet, smooth riding car. It feels tight and cushions bumps well. It cruises nicely at 75 mph and still gets 50+ mpg overall. It requires little regular maintenance, just oil changes every 10,000 miles and new plugs every 120,000 miles. It has no belts to replace.  It should remain a trouble-free car for 300,000+ miles that costs little to operate. Its 11.3 gallon tank costs little to fill and provides a 550+ mile range. The big hatchback easily holds a bicycle, or two with a blanket between them.
