2009 Toyota Prius Hatchback Review from Car and Driver

7/10
Consumer Appeal
1/10
Enthusiast Rating

Highs

Mid-40s mileage, quiet (especially when off) and well built, the green badge of honor.

Lows

Big money for a small car, you can get good mileage for less.

What's New: Redesigned for 2004; unchanged this year, but expect an all-new model and plug-in version for 2010.
