I've been driving my girlfriend's Prius around for about a week now until I get my Yaris back. It is a smoother ride, although I think the Yaris is more fun to actually drive. The thing that really surprised me though was that I've been making a game out of hypermiling in the Prius to see the best mpgs I could get, and I havent noticed a significant difference between mine and hers.

Hers is a broken in Prius with about 50,000 miles on it, getting an average of 49 mpg. In my Yaris, I found I averaged about 44 mpg driving the same way. Seems like a pretty hefty price difference for a tiny improvement to me.
