Prius owners: Speak up!

I just took a ride in a co-worker’s brand new, souped-up, charcoal-grey Prius.
Wow.
Yes, it’s just a car, a mere Toyota.
But it’s a hybrid, which is still something of a novelty to me.
What impressed me most, of course, were all the bells and whistles, namely the master computer planted in the dashboard, featuring everything from touch-screen heating controls to GPS navigation. One setting even displays cool graphics that show when the car is using gas or just battery.
If you’re lucky enough to buy a new green car, you might check out the Prius options here.
I did.
They start at $21,100, which is less than I would have thought. And with biodiesel prices soaring to more than $4 in some areas, maybe it’s the right choice for right now.
I’m wondering, however: What are the pluses and minuses of Priuses? Everything, even awesome green things, especially awesome green things, have pros and cons.
