Do you research before purchasing
This is a great car, but it's not quite like a Prius. The transmission often slips as it slows causing a small jerk. Their is a few second delay from reverse to drive. Sometimes if you turn the car on and shift into gear too quick the car freezes and you have to shift into park, turn it off, back on, wait and then shift into gear. It's gas milage is not what it says, no matter how slow I drive and how slow I take off, I can not get better than 44-49mpg. Everyone passes me and I stress out trying to "drive better" and break more. I do live in a hilly area. It's cute, but there's not much space or storage. I bought the top of the line, the features are very nice. I don't think the cost, compared to it's competitors in it's class is worth the total package. I was a previous Prius owner and I wish I could go back.
