I'd take a Prius over a Volt. It's has more utility and better highway MPG. The whole point of having a larger battery and electric motor is to eliminate the complexity and expense of an ICE. No way would I own something that is compromised as an EV, and compromised as an ICE.

My combo would be a Leaf for around town, and a Prius for the highway. I'm doing all of my hauling these days with my Prius and a trailer.
