Geez. I did a morning commute to LA with two people a couple weeks ago in a recent Prius, maybe a 2012 or 2013 or something. I thought it was quiet. And I looked around and thought it was nicely built too. About the same build quality as my wife's 2010 Subaru Forester. I like the Volt a lot too. I would agree used Prius is an overpriced car a lot of the time. Demand supports the price with good reasons though: the engineering and original quality of the build are awesome, there is something of an aftermarket, and parts are easy to acquire relatively cheaply.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
