Hi Marc,
A wise choice to go with the TCH. Although I got much better mileage with the Prius, the suspension did not handle the bumps too well and I would feel every one of them. Also, because the car is so light, it was not a comfortable ride in the wind. I was out in a dust storm with 45
mph winds and it was not pleasant. One test drive of the TCH and I knew I had to have that car. SMMMOOOOOTH almost seems like an understatement. Really, REALLY nice. I once owned a Benz and the TCH has the same ride as a Benz. Toyota really did this car right.
