One of the reasons I wanted to buy the Prius was that it was a four door. My wife and I take my mom places fairly regularly, and I wanted a car we could do that in comfortably. My old car was a Honda Civic hatchback, and my wife drives an Acura CL. Both are two doors. We went out with Mom on Saturday. She loved the back seat. She was very comfortable. She also loved how easy it was go get in and out of. Just one more added plus to this great car. Jeff
