So what features do you like the most after the road test? Maybe this will convince you to get a hybrid. Hmm, let's see after you get back there for the second run.Nicole Vickershttp://www.rayskillman.com/vehicle/search/en/used/any/any/0-2010/0-5000000/desc/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-50502183881392818952011-08-12T19:08:03.049-05:002011-08-12T19:08:03.049-05:00We rented a Prius on a trip to New Mexico two year...We rented a Prius on a trip to New Mexico two years ago. Great gas mileage, liked the camera for backing up, but hated the back window. It is not easy to see out of the back. I'm used to my huge window in my Forester. We were definitely not impressed enough that we would buy one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-49270918837267067362011-08-12T06:58:41.137-05:002011-08-12T06:58:41.137-05:00We have a Toyota Highlander hybrid (SUV), and love...We have a Toyota Highlander hybrid (SUV), and love it. It gets far better gas mielage than our second car--a Honda Accord. <br /><br />The key thing is really handy. I don't have to fish it out of my purse to start the car, just have the purse in the car. Same thing with locking/unlocking the doors. The car knows whether I have the key or not. If my hands are full, all I have to do is touch the outside door handle and it unlocks for me. <br /><br />I would have to play with it, but I think its kind of hard to lock the keys into the car. Not sure if it would actually lock you out permanently with the key inside unless you're using the lock button on the second key.

I found it annoying that when you started it, it took a while to go through all of it's diagnostics to be ready to drive. I joked that no one would ever choose a Prius to rob a bank because they would have to wait too long to start! LOL<br /><br />It did seem roomy though.labbie1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03300554678932160244noreply@blogger.com
