The HAH replaces a Volvo S70 1998. We wanted a road car. Drove the Civic, it was noisy and the long front window struts blocked the view, I felt as though I was sitting in the back seat and driving. The Prius, drives like a Camry, soft and squishy. One should drive and not be distracted. The Prius has to many distractions. A Prius with all the bells and whistles cost almost as much as a HAH. We drove 3500 miles on our first road trip, through the mountains of the west and into Canada. We averaged 32.5 mpg, the high tank 36 the low 29. I highly recommend the HAH to anyone who wants a comfortable car that handles well, and can go when you need it to go.
