Guys I am looking forward to buying a new 2011 Toyota Prius but when looking at all the models that are available, I got confused and couldn't decide which model is the best, so could you guys please suggest me which model is the best.

I would be very grateful if you guys replied and if possible also give me a good advice on which model to buy.

Go for the 1.8 one, at least the S-LED edition. It has LED projector headlamps with built-in HIDs and headlight washers not present in the S-package one.
However, do not waste your money on a tampered vehicle, buy from a reliable source or get it imported yourself because most of the Prius available at showrooms are major accidental un-graded vehicles which will cause great troubles in future.
Do not buy a vehicle without getting its Auction Sheet verified from Japan, and if the sheet is not provided, leave the car no matter how good it looks.

I am myself using a 2010 S-Touring edition bought from one of very few reliable importers @sharabhi and believe me, the car speaks for itself.

a vehicle worth 5 million today will worth how much after 3 years with avg maintenance cost of 150000 or more per year. It will not be 25% of price you pay today.
Ask this question to yourself & choose wisely.

Thanks man, but, could you tell me that which model is "the top of the line"?

Prius comes in a lot of variants. The S-Touring edition that I have has more specs than the Civic other than a sunroof.
Contact @sharabhi for getting all details of different variants of Prius. His name is Shahzaib Rasheed and contact number is 0320 2197670.

@aliusman420: beautiful ride MASHA ALLAH. i have heard the average is not good for 5-10 km rides. it is true? not good means it does not give good average on short trips.

Thanks a lot
On short trips average is low because the battery does not get sufficiently charged, you mostly run the engine although it is simultaneously charging the battery. Driving a Prius is very different from driving other cars, I got used to it over a month of driving my car.

However, my monthly drive is around 1200 km and in mixed driving, which includes full time AC and calm and full throttle driving, still I easily cover a month in 2 fuel tanks which do not get completely used up, I get 600 km in 38 litres even though my car has 17" rims with 215 size tyres and I'm nowhere close to being a hypermiler.
On motorway I set its Cruise Control at 110 km/h, minimum average was 21.5 km/l and maximum went up to 24.5 km/l.
