I won't add to the goods and bads of owning a Prius. I would never own one because I don't like driving appliances and that is what they are to me (no offense to anyone who owns one). The 2010s do look darn good though. I bought an 09 Yaris back in August and couldn't be happier with my purchase. It has no power options, handles really well with some suspension tweaks, gets darn near 40 mpg and can haul quite a bit of stuff. I was looking at getting a used Focus hatchback but I couldn't find it in decent condition that didn't have power options and that was decently priced for mileage on the clock. I ended up test driving an 07 Yaris and the clutch and shifter felt so bad to me that it turned the rest of the car off for me. I test drove an 09 next and it was night and day and the rest is history.
