When I needed a new car 3 years ago, I also very seriously considered a Prius 
and test drove one, also lightly used (1 year old). I hesitated a bit for two 
reasons: the slow acceleration AG mentions, and the fact that we tend to take 
long drives, and I was wondering about the reliability of the whole battery 
setup and the ability to get it fixed in the middle of nowhere. While I was 
thinking about it for a few days, the car I had test driven was sold to someone 
else, so that made my decision--I got a diesel Toyota Avensis instead, and I am 
very pleased with it.

Cheers,
Nathan
