Since this thread started about AWD wagons, I'll point out that in my unscientific subjective experience, I believe I see a disproportionate number of Priuses (Prii?) spun out on the median strip in wet weather.

Good on ya, Will. I am guessing you were going to get full coverage anyway rather than just liability?
That is the only down-side of financing: comprehensive insurance.
Great rate, either way. Cheers!

My fantasy right now would be a Sienna with a mattress frame in back. Gear underneath and crashing on top

Prius
A piece of sh!t car.
Overpriced garbage.
Try and fix something on them and the parts cost a fortune.
Has blind spots all around it. Can't see out the rear worth sh!t.
We have two of them here.
Toyota donated them.
I hate those dumb ass cars so much I've never driven them further than just in the lot when repairing some bullsh!t on them .....
have always wondered how many people buy the car to save on gas mileage, or are they concerned about the environment?

Having been in the 1st Generation Prius (which was Corolla sized inside and out). Having owned a 2nd Generation which was substantially bigger inside and out (almost a mid-size inside fit). And, currently driving a 3rd Generation which is even bigger inside -- definitely mid-size sedan space (though visibility is somewhat less), your comment makes no sense.
As far as visibility is concerned, not only do"you have to check your mirrors...just the side of your eye, side of your eye" , but actually turning your head to look is always advisable...
And for those Prius haters out there "Don't drive angry."
Skip ahead to about 1:12 for Phil giving Phil these sage driving instructions.

A former girlfriend owned a first generation prius. We did a number of road trips in it. My friend owns a 3rd generation. I have driven that multiple times. I just fit better in the first generation and it was easier to see out of.
But whatever. If you are happy, then thats cool. I just have a different preference. I never liked the small sports cars with poor visibility either. I'm happiest in a big SUV. Though I really liked the first generation prius and I use to own a mazda glc that I liked for visibility.
