With regards to the Prius, it's more practical than you might think.  It 
has a fairly large cargo area under the hatch (or trunk, for 2001-2003).

You can buy a receiver hitch for one inexpensively 
(http://www.coastaletech.com/04hitch.htm), and then install a hitch 
mounted cargo carrier - there are several kinds.  It's not intended to 
pull a trailer of course, but it's also great for hauling bicycles.  And 
since the car has a full size back seat, you can load that area up too.

The trunk on the 2002 is not tiny either.  Before I bought my receiver 
hitch, I traveled with my bicycle in there (wheels removed) and still 
had room for suitcases.
