I know several people with them from first gen to 3rd gen. and they've had no problems with them at all (even Highlander hybrid). The first gen has over 250,000km on it with the original battery. So don't worry about that. The newer cars have better batteries that only currently cost around 3k to replace, not 20K. And just like any piece of technology will only come down in price as time moves on. I suggest you test drive one and decide on it based on you needs as you've described. |

And most all the Prius I've seen on the road are driven moderately so the abuse factor usually doesn't enter into it.

I don't think echo ever came with fold down seats. On top of it, I have body reinforcements behind the back seats of our echos so this is not really an option

I would go with the Prius. Speaking from experience, I never had any aches and pain on long drives and comfort is all that matters for me.

Tough call. A 5 door Yaris hatch would be a great bet. My 3DR would swallow up those 2 bikes no prob. I thought 5DR since there's a child on the way.
The Prius is definitly a lot nicer and cozy inside , and it's real quiet too. Prius may be more child friendly and safer too. I'd rather have a brand spankin' new car who's history I know because "I" will be creating it!
