   My wife has one that she leased and then bought when the lease was up. I felt   
   very uncomfortable with it when I first drove it.  Actually it is the only   
   car that has ever distorted my vision when you combine my glasses Rx with the   
   curvature of the front windshield. It's too low for any kind of snow but I   
   did a tire search or tirerack and found her some all season tires that had   
   much better snow and slush grip than the OEM tires. This seems to be pretty   
   much true of most OEM tires. Yet I have to admit, the Prius is the VW beetle   
   for the new millenium.  When Toyota's stock went down due to the accelerator   
   pedal issue, I quickly bought stock in Toyota and sat on it for a couple of   
   years and made a nice little profit too :)
