The dash layout and the middle arm really annoyed me. The trip computer was dead center of the dash, not the place I want my eyes while driving down the road.
The Prius was initially the hybrid that I wanted to buy. When I drove the Prius, the get-up-and-go was entirely missing, like it had a Star Trek Enterprise Inertia dampening system on. There was zero feel of the road, like driving a microwave oven.
Bare minimum at the 21k price point. I'm surprised they didn't charge extra for the seat belts.
Sad, sad, sad excuse for a stock radio. I think I saw the saleperson flinch when I turned it on.
Getting any hybrid new in 2010 for 21k was not a bad deal, but Toyota broke out the Prius into several different models, and for 21k you get a pat on the back and the little paper in the floorboard.
