I'm about ready to trade in my 2007 Prius for a newer used car. I love Toyota and would like to stick with that make if possible, but I'm open to any quality make and my criteria are fairly simple. I'm hoping you guys can help me narrow down the list of years/models, and then I'll do my comparison/price shopping with a much smaller list in hand.

• 3rd row seats either fold down or remove leaving a flat cargo area

• combined with the above, that cargo area should be at least 6 feet long (front to back, I don't care that much about cubic size)

• Hybrid

If it helps to know, I'll be using it as a daily driver (no commuting, just errands) and also for hauling dogs and booth equipment merchandise to small tradeshow-type events.
