My mother bought a Prius. I was very impressed when I drove it. Very roomy inside (similar cubic footage to a Camry), acceptable acceleration, very quiet in town, a useful hatchback design, and I averaged 54 mpg. Not bad for $21k.

It's a really great design, my only regret is that it's a tight fit for our 2 dogs. Too bad the enviro-wackos have stigmatized it (by liking it), but who cares about them? it is a really nice car and the built in extras for the display I opted for (GPS map, Bluetooth handsfree phone) is stuff I really find handy.
Even if the carpool privileges are revoked I'll still like it, but the g. d. govt. should have TOLD us they were thinking of this move before I defaced my car with stickers.
