 I've had my Prius Prime for about 4 months now and I think I can safely say that it's my favorite car I've ever owned. The 25 mi EV range works very nicely for me, as my work commute is only a few miles and I can easily get there and back, with a couple of errands thrown in, and never burn any gas.  Only the occasional longer trip necessitates me ever filling up at all -- I'm average about 95 mpg since purchase and am visiting a gas station about once a month. But the thing that's been the most pleasant surprise is how fun it is to drive! I've become addicted to Power Mode, which, when one is all charged up and running EV, provides a highly satisfying quiet zoominess. Absolutely night and day compared to the 2nd Gen Prius it replaced. It's also quieter, more comfortable, and a good deal more stylish than my old Prius. None of the reviews I read prior to my purchase adequately conveyed how much better the performance is in EV mode relative to regular hybrid mode. Even if it wasn't saving me money, I'd probably religiously charge it up every night just because it makes it so much more gratifying to drive (I always feel a little crestfallen on the occasions when it settles into hybrid after I've used up my EV charge). It was also a screaming bargain, in that, with the combination of $6K in tax credits, a $3125 manufacturer rebate and a good deal from the dealer, it cost me under $20K.  The cons are all pretty minor, given my usage of the vehicle: only 2 rear seats (okay for us as empty-nesters); modest cargo room (we have larger car for big loads); and the somewhat dorky "high-tech" panel display with a bunch of mostly useless tech (seriously, you expect me to painstakingly hand-enter my nav destination while stationary, when I can just talk to my phone as I drive instead?).  On balance, a wonderful car for my lifestyle -- I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
