Prius for Piano Tech?

Fenton,
Take a look at the Pontiac Vibe. I recently purchased one and it big enough
for a Grand or Upright action and than some. Both back seats fold down and
so does the front passenger seat. The sticker says it will get 36 miles to
the gallon but of course that is on ideal situations. I am averaging around
32 miles to the gallon.

List,
The Volvo wagon has 165K and is eating too much money between gas and
maintenance. BTW, you better be charging at least as much as your mechanic.
I'm researching my next vehicle and wondering if a Toyota Prius could
actually work. Naturally, critical is the ability to transport a grand or
upright action. I would be so grateful for any techs using one to let me
know how they like it, can you fit an action in there on top of your tools?
I've looked in them and they seem pretty big, not like my Volvo wagon. But,
I am willing to scale down some and I sure could dig 45 MPG. Or, any other
vehicles that get high mileage, second choice for me right now is a Subaru
Outback, great car but more dough and only mid 20's MPG.
