I'm Justin, I drive a Prius I like the cool stuff... BOOYA! It's not only the performance, it's the luxury..... Sorry, this post reminded me of this video for some reason. lol
For it's class it's very high quality, IMO. It has tons of features that some other models just don't have in its class, like a standard MFD, for example (even some luxury cars seem to lack this one) and electric power steering vice engine-driven power steering. Besides, it's cool knowing that I'm doing my part to save the environment by reducing my consumption of petroleum.
1. We already had a Nissan 4x4 truck (yes, we need it for kayaking and historical pursuits) and a Honda Element (yes, we need it for bicycle racing events and long road trips) and we needed a 4dr sedan to escort our 80+ year old mothers around in, shop with, short road trips, etc. 2. We have a "green" homestead and we recycle so the Prius fits nicely with that. 3. We were eligible for the full $3150 tax credit. 4. I like all things high tech. 5. It simply seemed like the right thing to do.
I think it was simply the mpg that motivated us. The "runner up" in consideration was $8000 less, the Nissan Versa. Roominess inside was a big factor as well as we have 4 in our family, all tall.
