Toyota’s funky hybrid steps deeper into the mainstream.

#1. Though not perfect, the Toyota Prius is still the hybrid to beat.

Safety recalls. Real-world fuel economy that doesn't measure up to EPA estimates. Boxy styling. We could go on and on with reasons to discount the 2010 Toyota Prius, but the fact remains that this model retains its ranking as the hybrid king. Even with our as-tested average of 45.3 mpg, the Prius is uber-efficient, and behind that boxy shape is a spacious and comfortable interior with enough nooks and crannies to store an entire year's worth of organic nuts. Sure, the gearhead in us longs for quicker acceleration and more agile handling, but try carpooling to work with four overgrown adults in a Mustang. Morning breath in a confined space is not a pleasant thought, people. After ensuring that any safety recalls have been addressed, we'd suggest checking out the Prius III, which delivers desirable amenities like XM satellite radio and Bluetooth capability at the best price.
