The Toyota Prius has won many fans for its environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency, but not necessarily the best solution for a person with a family. Now, the gas-conscious buyers with their children to reflect on the 2012 Toyota Prius V ("V" stands for "versatile", is a Roman five). This load is based on the Prius sedan, and offers similar fuel efficiency and cargo capacity by 60 percent.

But none of these models can not touch the Prius in terms of energy efficiency is the best bet for family-minded buyers looking for a more frugal.
