Are you in the market for an affordable midsize car?  The 2010 Toyota Prius brings its competition to their knees.  Standing out in the best way possible is what this vehicle does for you, with its easily recognizable spectacular design. It carries a high rating in every area of this newly designed car, including safety.

The 2010 Prius has a new cutting edge design that improves both the performance and appearance of the vehicle greatly.  The new Prius now has the trademark hood bulge that is found on the other Toyota sedans.  This bulge is not just attractive to onlookers it actually serves a greater purpose.  The sloped bulging hood leads into the windshield which is also slanted at a similar angle allowing the vehicle to experience the greatest amount of aerodynamics possible.  This feature is easily noticeable when you hit the road on a windy day as the Prius easily cuts through the wind reducing drag considerably, thus resulting in a non-jerky enjoyable ride.  Along with its front end set up, the Prius has poignant lines that begin at the headlights and stretch back to the tail lights, sloping at a slight upward angle.  This effect gives it that sporty look you are looking for.  Reviewers are calling this car the best looking vehicle in its class.

When it comes to safety, this car performed brilliantly.  The prius scored four out of five stars in protection of the driver and passengers in three areas.  It scored those four stars in protecting both driver and front passenger in a frontal-impact crash, protecting the rear-seat passenger in a side-impact crash, and it was given a four-star roller rating.  It scored a perfect five out five stars for protecting the driver in a side-impact crash.  These high ratings are due to the strategically placed airbags in the front and sides of the vehicle, anti-whiplash headrests in the front seats, and stability and traction control.  Toyota has added even more safety devices for an additional price if you are looking for even more safety protection.

Now that you realize that the 2010 Prius is an excellent vehicle, it’s time to find a Toyota Dealer.  See your local Spirit Toyota dealer today to see for yourself, just why the 2010 Prius is rated so high.
