I don't own one, but the Prius is actually just an excellent car. Aside from its fuel efficiency, it has lots of interior space, has an outstanding service life measured in hundreds of thousands of miles with no major services, and is priced very competitively. There's a reason tons of taxi cabs are Priuses. The stereotype that the Prius is bought by snooty people is completely undeserved. If you're just shopping for a simple commuter car, it's really hard to beat the Prius.
