Well, I bought a Prius and I’m not stupid. It has cut my gas bill in half...that’s smart.
However, the thing DOES drive like a truck and I find it uncomfortable to drive. Also has a terrible blind spot because of the way it’s built, and quite frankly, it’s ugly as sin! But I’m certainly happy having an extra $200 a month in my wallet every month.
true, not everybody but there must be a lot of them, hence the article... that's why they only buy the first one and don't buy another one i was speaking in generalities, you prolly bought it to save gas, not the planet like the ones i was referring too
my Hyundai gets 40mpg on a regular gas engine without a turbo and only cost $17,600 loaded, handles well all the time, drives like a sportscar when ask to and looks great
ya don't need a to spend a lot of money on a hybrid to get great mileage
We have an 05 and an 08 Prius. They are not stylish, but I think they drive great and they have been very dependable. The 05 has about 160K miles and the 08 over 100K. The batteries show no sign of weakening.
Only problem— people think we are liberals.
Could have bought a nice VW Jetta/Golf TDI diesel with a 6 speed manual and got the same or better fuel milage and had a heck of a lot more fun driving.
I’ve got 280,000 miles on my 2003 and its still going strong.
