  • There is a seal that must be broken to move the odometer back. However, it's pretty hard to disguise a car with substantially more miles than shown. My concern with any car of that age with that few miles on it is that it has been sitting for a long time. Cars... Read More
  • I don't know for sure but I believe the odometer would be very difficult to tamper with, unless a computer swap or similar were performed. That mileage is lower than average but not out of the question. My parents' 2007 has about 26k miles on it. My 2007 is a... Read More

Why should I also consider these?

Take one look at the Honda Insight and you'll see why it's perhaps the top rival to the 2011 Toyota Prius; it has nearly the same, swept-back aero-body roofline; however the Insight has Honda's IMA mild-hybrid system and disappointing mileage compared to the Prius.

The Prius is roomier than the Insight as well.

More noteworthy is the Fusion Hybrid, a roomy mid-size sedan that gets 41 mpg in city driving, with a very smooth hybrid system and a better ride-and-handling balance than the Prius.

Left-brain thinkers will opt for the VW Jetta TDI diesel, which costs more than gas-engined Jettas but delivers fuel economy in the 40-mpg range and a reputation for durability—as well as great handling and a suave interior.

Two other rival models are technically from the same automaker as the Prius, though they probably wouldn't like you to think about it that way: The HS 250h is a small luxury sedan based on the new Prius but incorporating a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a variation of the Prius' hybrid system.

Overall, the HS feels somewhat cramped inside and isn't much more responsive than the Prius, while getting lower mileage.

The new Lexus CT 200h hatchback is a better choice for most who want a sportier, more distinctive hybrid; it has a roomy interior as well as improved handling and plenty of nice details.

2011 Lexus CT 200h
The 2011 Lexus CT 200h is an iconic, stylish, and actually quite fun-to-drive car, with Lexus levels of refinement;, and it's a strong value—both as a way of entering the Lexus brand and as an exciting new green icon.
 
2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan
The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta steps back in tech time and lowers its German street cred—but still delivers a better driving feel and more back-seat room than many other compact sedans.
