Prius for Piano Tech?

[pianolover 88]

If you don't mind the fact that you'll be shelling out 4-6 thousand for a 
new battery pack every 6-7 years!

List,
The Volvo wagon has 165K and is eating too much money between gas and 
maintenance. BTW, you better be charging at least as much as your mechanic. 
I'm researching my next vehicle and wondering if a Toyota Prius could 
actually work. Naturally, critical is the ability to transport a grand or 
upright action. I would be so grateful for any techs using one to let me 
know how they like it, can you fit an action in there on top of your tools?  
I've looked in them and they seem pretty big, not like my Volvo wagon. But, 
I am willing to scale down some and I sure could dig 45 MPG. Or, any other 
vehicles that get high mileage, second choice for me right now is a Subaru 
Outback, great car but more dough and only mid 20's MPG.
