My wife has one that she leased and then bought when the lease was up. I felt
very uncomfortable with it when I first drove it.  Actually it is the only
car that has ever distorted my vision when you combine my glasses Rx with the
curvature of the front windshield. It's too low for any kind of snow but I
did a tire search or tirerack and found her some all season tires that had
much better snow and slush grip than the OEM tires. This seems to be pretty
much true of most OEM tires. Yet I have to admit, the Prius is the VW beetle
for the new millenium.  When Toyota's stock went down due to the accelerator
pedal issue, I quickly bought stock in Toyota and sat on it for a couple of
years and made a nice little profit too :)
