I lived in Southern California for almost ten years and there seemed to be more and more Prius' on the road each year.   It's a state where you have to drive for almost everything, and with the Prius, single commuters were able to take the carpool lane, which made the difference between getting to work on time, or if lucky, getting there by lunch time.  Well I don't live there anymore, but any reason is a good reason to own a Prius.  They look cool, and I know it's cute, but sleek appearance reflects my personality.  I wanted a stand out car with out...

The Prius is a great car. It's got all the comforts of modern luxury cars - particularly with the option to include a built-in navigation system - without the cost OR damage to the environment. My favorite things about the Prius include: super quiet operation, very comfortable to sit in and drive, hands free keyless entry system, and only having to get gas every 2 weeks or so. However, there are a few things about the Prius that I'm not crazy about, including: the design of the car (its shape is designed to be aerodynamic but actually creates larger blindspots than most cards have),...

I recently was given the opportunity to ride for quite a distance in a 2006 Toyota Prius Hybrid 4 Door. I was taken aback by the fact that at 6'5" tall, I fit perfectly into the . . .BACK SEAT. I just knew I had to pass this information on.Many tall consumers think they will only be able to buy large cars. On the contrary, the 2006 Toyota Prius Hybrid 4 Door offers a plethora of headspace and leg room even in the back of the car. That is not to mention the fact that when switched into alternative fuel mode, the car registered more than 100 miles to the gallon. The clear screens and...

I have used this car for more than 4 years. I bought it used because when buying it new, the demand was so great that there was a wait line, and the wait could take up to 4 months. Anyhow, whenever I got the Prius, I was surprised to find out how silent the engine ran. Whenever you start the car, you can barely hear it. I know the newer models are practically silent, but in the 2001 model (the first one), you can still hear the engine. The performance on the car is great. It acts well with your feet and your actions, and it also has great gas mileage. Considering gas is so expensive these d...

If you want a good deal on a 2008 Prius - in any color - you should wait until the big lot sales next year. The line is being redesigned, and dealers will be eager to get these babies (whichever ones are remaining) out of the way. The Prius wasn't the first mainstream hybrid car, but it quickly became the most popular. It's sleek design, even back in 2000, made drivers take notice. The redesign in 2004 gave an incredible boost to the car's reputation.Previously EPA ratings put this car's fuel efficiency in the 60's. Those standards have since been revised, and now it'...
