I bought one of these to save money and it's working. My old car got 25 mpg, not bad, but this thing gets 50. At 3 dollars a gallon, I'm paying $1800 less than I did last year with the old car. That's $150 a month, half my car payment! True, it's not a sports car, but she's comfortable and reliable. Try one, I say.
The fool,dortmundpls, is penny wise-pound foolish. To save $1800 at Mobil, he had to give Toyota $7,000 more than Ford wants for a same-sized Focus. All while giving Canadians cancer. Must be great to be so smug.
More B.S. from autostream. Does the Focus have the same 50 mpg as the Prius? Not even close. Toyota's also have a better resale value when compared to Ford. The Prius has only 32 pounds of nickel in its battery. Nickel is a major component in stainless steel, which in turn is used to make cookware, and tableware you eat with. It's also 100 percent recyclable. Two thirds of the Sudbury's plant nickel output is for stainless steel production. Got any videos about how we should boycott SS? B.S.
He also says center council or counsel. It is a center Console, not a center council or counsel. Why don't they people who can speak correctly to do these reviews?
One thing I never understood is why do companies add power and engine size for their newer models... With the Prius if they can achieve a better MPG with 1.8 why not stick with the 1.5 and make that number even better? Is it just because consumers always want something bigger or more powerful to feel like it's better?
Its the American way I guess. In Europe, where the tiny VW Polo BlueMotion is sold, it gets American-gallon equivalent of like 60 mpg. However, (all car ppl nowadays watch TG, so I'm preaching to the choir) it has 3 cylinders and is very slow.
How would the old 1.5L get better MPG in the new slightly heavier Gen III Prius when it gets less MPG than the new Gen III Prius with the 1.8L? The old 1.5L was underpowered for the Gen II Prius and was working harder than it should to move the car so it used more fuel. By upgrading the engine to the 1.8L it now doesn't have to work as hard and turns lower RPMs and in result gets better MPG than the old Gen II Prius. What I never understand is why people post things that they know nothing about.
I wasn't tired when I started watching this video, but the narrator's tone and speed of delivery put me to sleep. ...but, he was talking about a Prius. Maybe his delivery was appropriate for the subject matter.

I thought RT always maintained that they weren't CD-type consumer people, that they were sports car people.
