L.B.
We recently bought a Toyota Prius plug in - I absolutely love it, the gas mileage is fantastic, because it runs on both battery and gas we hardly ever need to fill up. Charging the battery uses about as much electricity as charging a cell phone. we went to the Toyota dealership we did not plan on buying a Prius, I was thinking more of an SUV but after test driving it and learning about the gas mileage we went with it and I am glad that we did. It is hatchback. We live in New England and get a lot of snow, I was worried about it's performance in the snow because it is not 4 wheel drive, it pleasantly surprised me during the last 2 snow storms, I did not have any problems with it in the snow.
So, if you like going to the gas station this car is not for you!
