Buy a brand new 2009 Hyundai Accent GS hatchback for 10K dollars and get a lot more product for your money. I know what I’m talking about as I am a professional car shopper. The Accent GS hatchback has the best warranty anywhere and a good looking little car.

How exciting for you. I would love to get a hybrid but we have two solid, paid-for cars and four kids (which means no Prius for me.)

One of the things that we liked about what we found was that it had a pricing mistake — we checked NADA and BlueBook, and we got our car for right around $5,000 below its “value.” The pricing was great! Anyway, with the Prius as my husband’s commuter car, and as our trip car, we should be in good shape to save on gas.
