Well, I've had my '09 Prius for about a month now. I really love this car. Much more than I thought I would. Just took a 6 hour (each way) trip this past week, and got better than expected mileage. Best was 54mpg on the highway. I put some fuel system cleaner in at the beginning of the trip, so that cut the mileage a little, but the engine runs even better now. The car is way more comfortable than I thought it would be. The seats aren't too bad. I've said this before, but I wish the road noise was a little less, but it's really not too bad. As far as living with the car on a day to day basis in a big city, I just don't think you can beat it. Tight radius, great mileage, easy to park in tight spots, and comfortable. What more could you ask for?
Ryan's post pretty much says it all. Great car's and happy owners. What better can you say! Welcome to Prius Chat Ryan. Ron
Ryan welcome to PC. The road noise can be caused by the tyres fitted on the car, the OEM Bridgestones on the UK/EU version were very noisy. Fitting sound deadening panels in the doors does also improve matters.
