Best cold weather car I've ever driven
Cold weather operation was my biggest concern about a hybrid, but now I think one of the best arguments for getting a Prius is its performance in cold weather. We have had ours for 3 weeks with temps ranging from minus 20 to 25 above. Nearly instant starts every morning (parked in driveway). Doesn't get as hot as quickly as our last car, but it starts heating sooner, and is very comfortable after 10 minutes or so. Mileage has been great for a Maine winter (39-48). So far, the perfect car.
