I may have mentioned a few months ago that I was looking into buying a new car. (My current car is 16 years old!) So I finally made some decisions, at least preliminarily.



I'm looking into buying a Toyota Prius. I feel comfortable buying a hybrid now that the technology has been available for a while. Rising gas prices is certainly a factor as well. (The Prius gets nearly twice the mileage as my current car!) It may be too small of a car if my circumstances change, but for now, it's the right size for what I like to drive. And at least it's a four-door which is more than I can say now.



I test drove a Prius today and I like it just fine. I could procrastinate on this forever (which I am notorious for), so I want to move things along. I feel pretty comfortable with the decision as far as being happy with driving it, so I'm going to go about checking numbers to see what options I want and what sort of deal I can get.



But before I go through with this, I thought I'd check with you guys to see if you had any input   either positive or negative   regarding the Toyota Prius.



Thanks!
