Why the 2006 Toyota Prius?

Safety & braking

great traction on snow and ice, very good anti lock, lots of air bags. brakes charge the battery most of the time, little to no pad wear.

Discounts & incentives

we caught the maximum tax break, free registration, bank incentives for hybrids, all in all ~$5k in incentives

Brand reputation & image

I think Toyotas enjoy a good reputation. ours has been trouble free

Feature availability

good integration of stereo, blue tooth phone, computers, back up cameras, reasonable "premium" sound system. it is a cool car, full of gadgets.

Why Not the 2006 Toyota Prius?

Driving position & visibility

visibility through the windshield corners and blind spots in the mirrors is a draw back. in two years, I still have not gotten used to it and am sometimes still surprised by pedestrians or other cars. this was not evident in a test drive.

Front seat support & comfort

long drives are a pain the .... well, you know. the car is not a comfortable as I would like. limited range of adjustments. Not bad for a couple of hours or even on a easy road trip but, more than 10 hours in a day? not for me. too bad.
