The Ultimate Winner
Thank you for exemplifying why I don't like Toyota Pious owners. It's like buying a Chihuahua for your purse as a status symbol or adopting a child from a third world nation.Bought a Prius last week. Still have half a tank of gas + (11.5 Gal tank) and have 285 miles on it as of this morning. We'll be taking a ride this morning to Half Moon Bay (near where the Maverick's big wave contest is held) for a Dungeness Crab lunch. I expect we will have plenty of gas after the round trip of around 120 miles.
Battery, BTW, has a 150,000 warranty, drive train 100,000 and the first two years include all maintenance.
We would have bought the Volt, but at $42,500 or so it was nearly $20,000 more than we paid for the Prius.
That said, they are good for urban stop/start driving, if you don't suck at driving. For long distance driving, you should have gotten a VW GTI/Golf Diesel. That's about the best there is for hiway miles... just don't get to excited about the room you have in it.
I'd never own another VW, to many electrical issues, just my experience and yes, Prius owners are annoying.
We had a cab company, a few years ago they open and bought all Prius', the company is no longer, it drives like it's size.
