In Conclusion

The 2004 Prius is a big improvement in every way over the previous model. The 2004 Prius offers a good ride, comfortable interior, reasonable performance and because of the level of content, it is a good value for the money. Its now a mainstream economy vehicle â€' and then some â€' and you’ll sleep better at night knowing you’ve done something good for the environment and helped the United Stated reduce its dependence on foreign oil.

This car is the darling of some of the Hollywood elite; those who are environmentally conscious. The old Prius repeatedly won NewCarBuyingGuide.com’s award for best Eco car. We are are quite sure it will be again this year. Next year may be a different story however as several new hybrids come on the market from other manufacturers. Our only regret: we wish the exterior design was a tad more mainstream.

Pros: Good value for the money. As good gas mileage as you’re going to get unless you drive a GEM, or a golf cart. Good interior appointments for an economy car.

Cons: Still a little goofy looking.
