Exterior

A Prius is unique looking; some might say it looks goofy or weird. I personally think it looks like an almond, but some people want their car to look like a car. But the Prius has become more ubiquitous in our automotive landscape, so people are getting used to them now and can identify them readily. My daughter was in a “Slug Bug” drought one day and asked if we could play “Prius” instead.

Maybe its looks aren’t your cup of tea, and maybe you just can’t commit to a goofy-looking car. I recommend that you drive it before completely ruling it out, and perhaps the Prius will sway you. How? It’s fun to drive and has some pep in its four-cylinder engine. The Prius disproves the idea that a hybrid is slow and boring. Granted, you won’t get the greatest mileage when you’re leadfooting around, but that’s just common knowledge, right?
