I'm a "chick" of a certain age, and I would think good things about a guy driving either of these. As opposed to a Miata or any of those p*nis-mobiles guys seem to drive after 50.
Totally agree here. I was able to cop a couple of rides in a Prius this past week and have fallen in love with this car. 50 miles per gallon and much roomier on the inside that I would have guessed.

I don't think it's roomy enough for a bike in the back seat, however, which tips the scale toward the Element if that's important to you. The ideal car might just be a hybrid Element. Do they make those? If they do, I'm gonna start rolling all my pennies...
