It has AC, cruise control, Bluetooth with an awesome stereo, keyless entry/ignition, power windows and mirrors, and enough airbags to turn the inside into a giant marshmallow if I ever get in a wreck. It has plenty of head and leg room for 4 adults to sit comfortably. Unlike the "economy" cars of years back that got great mileage at the expense of comfort, safety and performance, my Prius is a genuinely nice car to drive. I dont feel like I am making any sacrifices at all to get great mileage.</blockquote>
