My parents got a 2008 Prius! I might've influenced the decision a little.
My mother will be the primary driver, it's replacing a 1997 Isuzu Oasis (Honda Odyssey). Instant 50% reduction in fuel usage!
Driving back the ~50 miles from the dealer, I averaged 65 MPG. So far, I can't beat the mileage I get in the Civic. But I'll try every chance I get!
I might do a few mods to it, if I'm allowed! Upper grill block and wheel covers are first on my list. The EV switch is tempting. And so is a switch to make coasting (no arrows) easier. Basically mimic the throttle position that enables coasting. Of course tire pressure is up already.
