I love mine. I bought a 2012 Prius (Toyota certified used) about 8 months ago, and I've had no issues at all. I went from paying about $60 per week in gas to about $15. The front seats are very roomy. I am 6'5" and I am very comfortable while driving, even for long distances. I average about 48 to the gallon, but that is because most of my driving is on the freeway. I did look into the issue of if the hybrid battery has to be replaced, and there are places that will sell reconditioned batteries, installed for $700. It sounds like a lot, but that costs way less than some of these unreliable cars where you are having to constantly fix or repair shit on a monthly basis.
Believe me, I am far from the stereotypical Prius driver, and I wasn't even seriously considering one until I actually test drove one. I have not regretted my decision.
