    Anyone here own a Toyota PRIUS or thinking of buying one?

    What are your thoughts re owning one of these fuel-efficient vehicles? Any features you wish it had or areas for improvement?

        btw smart cars are getting pretty good colision ratings unlike we would think... and it goes pretty fast too... the miles per galon is insane.


        I'm just too big to ride in one of theses cars.

          I drove one for a while, freaky cool car, but a bit like getting into a video game. Nothing happens when you get in... it is pretty freaky to deal with.

          Good car, great mileage, and runs fine in traffic no BS.

                My dad bought one. He lives in Norway where 1gallon of gas is about 8-9 dollars. Go figure...

                  I'd love to drive a Toyota Prius, maybe the next car I buy, after several years, if another better one doesn't show up ...

                      I've been thinking of getting one. I really want to go test drive one though I have ridden in one. Takes some getting used to when the car starts moving and it is dead silent.


                      Is there still a waiting list at most dealers to pick up one of these?

                          A lot of Aussies are dumping their typical family sized 6/8 cyl cars and going for smaller ones, but many are losing money by selling too soon in the car's life - before the depreciation losses taper off. No point selling off your "gas guzzler" at a $5k loss when it's going to take 3 years to recoup that in petrol savings with your smaller car... which will also have depreciated significantly in that time!

                              I don't think you actually save much by buying a car like that, unless you drive a lot and gas prices are $10/gallon or something...

                                  You see them a lot here since we have 2k gov tax deduction on them.

                                  They look shit imho plus every test they do here tells that a TDI engine (injected diesel fuel) is even more enviromental friendly.

                                  Plus look at service intervals and costs. Theyre huge.

                                  If you go for a hybride check out the RX300 one or I belief Ford has one too in the US.

                                      I can't wait till we get Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered cars on the market.
                                      Hydrogen is a much more powerfull than fuel and it's made out of plain water.

                                          They are the future for sure...i thought i heard they were recalled in recent years or a similar model...i am sure that they can run perfect and they have had the technology for year; however, the oil leaders have been holding this product back..

                                            A friend of mine just bought one a few days back. I got to take a drive in it Friday night and was impressed.

                                            Spend you some brain.

                                                I hope it gets even more miles per gallon in the future. A more powerful engine would surely help as well.

                                                      They are ugly as hell.. try one of the new rabits from VW if you want a small car..

                                                          Hydrogen is a much more powerfull than fuel and it's made out of plain water.
                                                          How are these coming along?

                                                            Yea, I wish it had a better price tag.

                                                            Those cars are pricey.

                                                              i saw holes on polish roads that easily make a Smart disappear


                                                              besides that - i know some heterosexual guys that drive a Smart and are quite happy with it.

                                                              personally i don't like the plastic interior and this evil automatic shifting that makes you nod with every shift - but you get used to it
