Working for a pharmaceutical company that is just starting to grow our drivers are using toyota prius's. We also have a cargo van, and rent UD's and 20' straight jobs from Penski as we need them.

I have driven the Prius for a week or so delivering, and they are nice cars. I drove about 240-260 miles each day that I drove. The Prius averaged 40.5 to 45 miles to the gallon. Other driver got a little more at times, maybe I have lead foot.

Not to mention it's quiet, handles pretty well, has plenty of back seat and trunk space. and a very nice center screen display for trip info, radio, climate control etc.

0 to 60 is not to impressive, but switching lanes on the highways it has nice pickup.
Front seats could also be a bit more comfy. The steering wheel feeling solid but could still could use a little leather wrap.
We also got green stickers for the prius's that allow us to drive in the HOV lanes.
