Safety
The Toyota Prius comes with driver and passenger front-impact, side-impact and side curtain airbags. She has traction control, antilock braking and even a tire pressure monitoring system. While I don’t think about most of these safety items on a daily basis, one thing that really makes me feel good is how solid this car feels. The doors aren’t tinny, and the fit and finish is clean and tight.
The visibility out the back of the Prius is excellent. There’s a lower window below the rear end’s spoiler that allows for a terrific view out the back. The design of many smaller cars these days employs a rear end that sits up high, making visibility a problem. Our fair Prius has no such issue. Say what you will about its odd shape, but there’s a method to the madness. In case the Prius’ lower window doesn’t offer enough visibility for you, there’s also a rearview camera.
