I'm really leaning toward the Prius over the HCH-II...

Having rented Priuses on 3 different occasions and the new Civic a time or 2, I know that I really like the Toyota:

5-Door/Hatch Design
More engaging to drive
Better FE / HSD over IMA

I'm finding most in the '05-06 range with about 40K miles for around $15K.

Since we're keeping cars for a longer duration, the next step is to get some advice on battery pack life, things to look for (or watch out for) in a used hybrid, etc.
