Used Priuses, especially the Generation 2 that were made from 2004 to 2009 are becoming a bargain to buy, especially for the MPG and features you get in return. I’ve never seen climate controls in any other car that were placed on the steering wheel for easy control. And how does a family end up with four Priuses to start with?
