For six months it was fun watching the display, drafting semi's, learning to flip it into electric-only mode, etc. Then I grew really tired of the lack of driving pleasure. The Prius is a "transportation appliance". Very good in an urban environment, but a handful in crosswinds, with no road feel or handling. The exact opposite of the term "enthusiast's car" - a car for those who actually don't enjoy driving. I sold it and haven't looked back but if I lived in San Francisco or some other hilly, congested place I would probably buy another. Well, no, maybe a Mini...
