I drive a prius several times a month ,
whenever I have to leave town for work.
It's pretty well laid out inside once you get used to it,
and it performs well - of course it seems sluggish
when compared to the 9kt.
It really does get 50+ mpg on the highway, and
has room for me - I am 6'1".
BUT, it has crappy visibility -
you cant seee the front of the car, and
rear visibility is extremely poor.
It is quiet though, I can barely tell
it's running when inside - the guages are
your best bet to know it's on -
it just says "ready".
As for something that compares to the
Saab, I drove a Mercedes Kompressor(c230?),
the interior is a little smaller, but it can move
with that supercharged engine - 'course it comes
witha super charged price too.
