"It's all about the Prius's dash-mounted shifter. Of course, other cars offer column shifters, but few are as easy to use as the nifty little nub you'll find in the Prius. There's nothing to grip, no buttons to press. A gentle nudge is all it takes to get you from "park" to "drive."

Our 2004 Toyota Prius is no high priest of performance, but I still enjoy my time spent with it, because of little touches like this," wrote Clarke.
