I rented a 2002 Prius some years ago, when they looked like a Toyota Echo. Anyway, I had a blast driving it. Did some crazy stuff to get good mileage. In pure town driving, 90 miles took 1.77 gallons of gasoline. Big change from a SAAB. I live in Priusville - Portland, Oregon. Probably more Prius's here than any other part of the country. The car was just transportation but that's OK. Anything more is icing on the cake. Japanese cars for the most-part are generic transportation. I've been told by Prius owners that the maintenance costs most than expected. I love my SAAB but when going a long distance, I have to consider break-downs and where it can be fixed on the road. Most long trips, the SAAB stays home which is a total waste. We take the Mercury Mountaineer on all long ventures and it's a 1999 model year. Enjoy the Prius.
