One of the "Founding Fathers" of the hybrid car market, the Toyota Prius remains the best selling hybrid, by far, and for good reason. It combines amazing fuel economy with mid-sized car roominess and it's pleasant to drive, too. A Power mode button even makes it fun, at the cost of a little more gas, of course.
