Compact, Hatchback
2009 Toyota Prius
|
| It is no surprise to see the Toyota Prius honored as a winner of Vincentric’s Best Value in America award, as it earned top honors from Vincentric for the fourth time. The great fuel mileage of this hybrid combined with its strong residual values help create value for buyers and a strong seller for Toyota. With ownership costs almost 10% less than expected, the Prius was able to outscore the second place Nissan Versa and third place Volvo C30. |
