IMO, the Prius just another boring car but it gets amazing MPG. If speaking strictly from a financial perspective, buying a brand new Prius doesn't make sense.

If you got tired of your BRZ, then you'll get tired of a Prius. Sounds like you just want a new car for the sake of buying a new car.
I can get a brand new plug in prius for about 22k after credits, a little more than the value of my trade in. Uber requires that the car be newer than 2005 and has 4 doors. My friends are pulling in over 500 a week on Uber. I'm currently renting out my winter beater 2002 outback on relay rides and I want MORE MONEY. Only in the Bay area you can pull in low six figure income and still feel poor.
