got my daughter a well used
got my daughter a well used 2014 Prius about 3-4 years ago - and guess who drives it all the time ? me... my other cars are 14 BMW 528i and 07 Acura MDX, but between the phenomenal gas mileage (44+ vs 18-22), quiet at light and around town, and all the room to put all my windsurfing or bikes, I take it all the time (she's in college now too). car has 185k now.
I was very close to getting a used Rav4 Hybrid 2 years ago to replace the MDX (need 4x for snow trips) but wife wanted a bigger car (MDX can fit 7, or 5 with lots of gear we need when skiing... too bad as I really liked test driving it an would rather get 2x the mpg. hybrid for sure, maybe electric soon... ICE no way...
