Just got it yesterday,,the best car I have ever own by far, it drives beautifully, feels more solid like those German cars, and the low cost of use is icing on the cake. This one is a keeper. GAS are going up..and Prius are getting a better look,,more the reason to buy one. Also,,it's faster than you think. Just step on it,,you'll see.

@taitai90711 жыл бұрын
When looking at the Prius, there's really very little to complain about. It's comfortable, easy to drive, has decent space for cargo and passenger, and, of course, fuel efficient. However, it is an absolute bore to drive. With it's comfortable seats and no thrills, one can easily fall asleep at the wheel.

I use EV mode for traffic snarls and like that. If you're moving why burn any gas at all? Put it EV mode and move along. Don't overuse it, the car isn't really made for being driven constantly in EV. Eco mode is the standard and it works beautifully.

I do agree that this generation looks better than the previous. However, when I tried one in a dealer last week, the steeling wheel is way too low. I have to flatten my wrist, which got pain in 5 minutes. Also, I am confused that the prius V doesn;t have the solar panel roof option.

It's not that hard; the EV mode doesn't work unless you're driving really, really slow anyway. So your choices are really the ECO mode, which is the default, probably best for all-around use. The Power mode favors the gasoline engine for quicker acceleration.

I think this is a car that's simply designed to sip fuel, and I would prefer a diesel powered vehicle over a hybrid for the time being. Current diesels have more usable torque, and lower sticker prices with less compromises than hybrids. There are cars in the European and Asian market than get much better fuel economy like the Volkswagen Polo Diesel.

Actually the best way to go is buying a VW with a TDI motor is the way to go for now. Hybrid is well intentioned but it's still not efficient to manufacture and the longevity of those cars are unknown. TDIs will go for a long, long time and still get amazing fuel economy. On top of that the TDI can be serviced anywhere and for cheap, the same can't be said for any hybrid.

Also the electric motors that they have produce CO2. And not to mention the polution is created to make one of these pointless vehicles.

@krtbossman I drive a prius and do so because I drive in the city about 17000 miles a year. I save $1100 a year on fuel. It is a great car to drive and I save A LOT of fuel. I think if everyone drove one, we would be able to increase our national security by not relying on outside sources for oil. I really think you have been listening to airheads like Rush Limbaugh who don't need to worry about the cost of fuel and also don't worry about how many soldiers die to fight the next oil war.

Your gas bill might be cut but wait until the repair bills come in or when you break down in a rural/remote area. Who will service your car and how much will it cost you then? BTW I love when people who try to defend themselves always call their opponents "haters" or associate them with the "can't afford" crowd. FWIW I'm in the market for an MBZ C300 4MATIC or BMW 328i XDrive, I'll take smooth and quiet power along with solid build quality over a stupid Prius tin can.
