I have a 2006 Prius-18,000 miles,almost 2 years.The only dislike is the rear view.We do have the rear view camera, but I'm 57 yo,the wrong generation,so I don't really use it.I have pivot around 180 degrees to get a good rear view(just like any other car, but even when pivoting and looking backwards the view is partially obstructed). It is perfect other than the rear view.It gets better mpg(esp city) than the HCH 2 ,has more room, is easier to get in and out if you are older,accelerates faster.and is a hatchback so you can put in some larger items, and you sit more upright in the front seats.The HCH 2 is its only competition,and it is better than it in most ways you can measure,so it wasn't a hard choice.
Honda folks will disagree, of course.The Honda does have a more sporty feel,and the braking is a little better.
