    Prius is around 3-4k, Yaris automatic is about the same price. Looking at cars around this price range.

    Pruis is roomier but possible worn out hv battery.
    Yaris is less roomy, features, worse mpg, but less to maintain.

    If I had to replace the Prius hybrid battery would it last a long time? 5-10 years?

    I'm currently driving a 2006 Citroen C1 (like Toyota Aygo). Really great car, but I want to upgrade.
