YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 I WANT A SUNROOF!!! I want a better stereo. see full Toyota Prius review
2007 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 The feature set is limited. In 2007 there was no option for leather seats or moon roof, both of whicxh I like. The sound system is no match for the Boss system in the Infiniti. But the Nav package with backup camera are actually better. see full Toyota Prius review
2007 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Traction control makes "shooting the gap" hazardous. If a wheel slips, it takes a second to recover. Should you really have to spend $25 for an audio isolating x-former on a $24k car? Without it, car powered audio players get tons of ignition noise. see full Toyota Prius review
2005 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Lack of leather (2007 model), basic sound system, no "upscale" model. see full Toyota Prius review
