The reason I'm getting the Prius is cost, reliability, utility, safety, fun, in that order. The strengths in some areas make up for the weaknesses in others.

I can ask why you would get a Fiesta when a 250cc motorcycle would get double the MPG at a fraction of the cost, but the answer would be obvious.
No heater, no A/C. Way higher chance of death, gearing up for every single ride, no grocery shopping on anything but a small scale.

Advantages:
Better mpg
Lower insurance cost.
Less for maintenance.

Not worth it.


Anyway, screw the Prius, unless you live in New York, get a G2 insight. Hell, you can find good G1 insights that will knock the doors of a Prius in MPG for 1/4 the cost. And I'm talking about a low mile, pristine condition G1 insight. If you buy a junker like mine and fix it up, savings could be 1/6th the cost of a Prius.
