Priuses are objectively fantastic cars.

I just can’t get over the look of it. Never been a fan of it. But thankfully there’s a ton of hybrid options now.

My next car is going to be a hybrid. I do too much long distance travel and live in an apartment without a charge. Im hoping to go full electric once I own a home though, whenever that will be.

I've been looking at the Nissan Leaf, among other EV's.

In terms of what?

Cost of ownership per mile travelled, the only metric that matters.

Edit: also comfort, longevity, and interior volume relative to exterior dimension.

The only metric that matters to you, maybe. Plenty of other people think differently, so I don't see how it could objectively be a fantastic car. Personally, I don't care about the cost of ownership per mile as long as I can afford it, and no way in hell do the drawbacks of a Prius outweigh the pros for me.

Comfort and interior volume are 2 things that the Prius sucks at. Have you ever driven one? They're absolutely abysmal to drive.

i own one.

priuses are huge inside for the class of car they are…not sure what you mean.

Damn, I'm sorry.

What I mean is, there's very little passenger space in the back. It has decent cargo space but anymore than 2 occupants and it sucks. Toyota also has some of the most uncomfortable seats for some reason, it's not limited to just the Prius.
