What is the tow rating of the RAV4? Prius has a rating of 0 lbs, which might be a show stopper for some. For me, I'll tow 2,000 lbs with it.

The used Prius market has plummeted in price, so it's a great value while fuel prices are low, especially since the gen 4 release. Once Prime launches, the PiP will be extremely cheap.

I just took the Prius up Ed's trail to Silver Star mountain again. Only scraped 4 times on this drive. People laughed when they saw the Prius on the steep potholed logging road. It takes a lot of steering to keep the frame (mostly) off the washouts. Also, a willingness to use the paint on the encroaching vegetation.
