My wife has a 09 and I have a 10. Between the two, I like my best but I have to say, I do like the iconic look of the Gen II. The Gen III feels like a larger car but they are so close. The spaceship cockpit look of the Gen III is so nice. I change her oil but I will probably take mine to the dealer as I do not want to buy ramps and mess with a door and a open oil filter. I dislike that part a lot as I like to change my own oil. My wife is a little jealous that I get better mileage and have more power. That part is amazing. Funny thing also is my son has a Yaris and I really like that car also. If I did not have my Prius it would be a Yaris.
