Least favorite feature:	Upright Seating Position/Utilitarian interior
Advice to buyer:	Dont buy this car if you intend on taking long trips.
Detailed review:	The car drives as advertised; just like a regular economy vehicle, the Prius is not going to win any awards for its ability on the track but as a commute car is performs well. The car is a little bit fidgety when the winds top 30 mph and at highway speeds. This car is better suited for in town driving. The seating arrangement is functional if not spartan, dont take too long of a trip. Also, I was involved in a minor (5 MPH)) accident and the damage to the front of the car was substantial ($2,000). The thin and light material used in the body was esentially inpossible to repair perfectly even though the speed involved was so low.
Also considered:	2001 Honda Insight 2001 Toyota RAV4
Vehicle purchased:	2001 Toyota Prius
