Thats a good question, overall I'd definitely say I enjoy owning the Prius much more. Of course there are pros and cons to each. I sometimes miss the stick shift of the Matrix. It also had aftermarket springs and a aftermarket rear sway bar so it could handle very nicely. The Prius is a far cry from that. However, I so very rarely use that ability that I don't miss it much. The Prius really shines when it comes to driving the way I do day in and day out, ecodriving. The ease of which you can attain stunning mileage with the Prius is sooooo nice and easy. Its far less work than is necessary to P&G the Paseo down the road. Automated EOC (not having to bump start), the start/stop capability, the coolant thermos, the smart key... I love all the features.
