Worst Car Ever

I owned my 2011 Toyota Prius since October. The car is hardly worthy of its reputation. The car does not live up to the claimed MPG figures even under the most delicate driving. I average 16 city/29 highway. The car battery gets red hot after long drives. Rear hatch does not close properly allowing wind noise in cabin, results in severe draft for rear passengers. Seat and dash material showing wear. Drives like a boat. In a direct comparison with my grandfather's 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88, the 2011 Prius felt far more disconnected from the road. I plan on an immediate trade in for a Ford, Chevrolet, or Hyundai. Overall Grade: D+

2010 Prius II

50 miles + per gallon for real. Polorizing styling grows on you and it's reasonably quick for a highbrid. Climate controls on steering wheel are great. Seats could be more supportive and comfortable on long drives. Plastic wheel covers on alloy wheels seem pointless. No "real" smoked glass offered by Toyota.

DUMBEST LOOKING CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED

THIS CAR HAS THIS WEIRD FEATURE IN ITS HEADLIGHTS CALLED A DUMB PUPIL. IT MAKES THE PRIUS LOOK DUMB. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ISN'T SMART. IT ONLY SAYS "TURN" OR "GO".
