Really, are you surprised? The previous-generation Toyota Prius may not have achieved the cult status of the current Prius, but it was still a milestone in automotive fuel-saving technology. Besides, it was also a pretty decent compact sedan and makes a smart used car, with good passenger and cargo room. Throw in that outstanding gas mileage, and you have a winner.
