Better than my BMW

Having lived in Los Angeles for 10 years before heading to NYC, I was familiar with the Prius before many people out on the east coast. I got one of the first 2004 models in New England in 2003 and I was actually surprised by the power, handling and roominess of this car. I bought it to do my part for the environment and I was fully prepared to make sacrifices in those areas. I never had too. The technology was bleeding edge as well with voice commands and BlueTooth (only car that had it at the time). I owned a Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover, Porsche and Jaguar in the decade before I bought this and this is my favorite out of all of them.

I have not reached the MPG rating by Toyota yet. It may be the cold weather or break in period. The best I have done is 50 mpg on highway and city.

I love this car. I was expecting sluggish pickup and was pleasantly surprised that it accelerates fine and I routinely find myself surprised that I'm moving along at 80MPH without realizing it. I've driven it on the highway and even in the Appalachian mountains it was fine.

The Toyota Prius has the most seamless powerband I have ever had the opportunity to own. The second generation of Prius is the best yet! I have been averaging 51.5 mpg, with my first tank ! A little tip for getting better mpg... is to get up to speed and then let it go into electric mode. (for city driving under 40mph) I feel so lucky to own this Hybrid.

Nice car. Styling is great, I can finally win an ugly car contest. Everyone I know that has looked at it likes it. This car has definately been worth it.
