Three people can sit in the back. I have hauled both grand and upright
actions in the rear with the rear seats folded down - lots of room to spare.
We've had it for 2-1/2 years now and love it. I have kept track of all fuel
purchases and we have averaged 53 mpg over the course of ownership.</span></font><font

How roomy is the Prius? Is it a good kid hauler like a minivan although
not quite as big,but how does it do with hauling families and can one fit a
piano action in it both grand or vertical? Our Taurus is eating gas like
crazy and I cannot figure out why. We had the fuel injectors cleaned not
too long ago. Have a great rest of the night!<br>
