To all the car enthusiasts around the globe: Want good things to happen in your life?
For every hybrid car that you disable, by any means possible, good things will happen to you, and the other car enthusiasts you love. Do your self, and your fellow car enthusiast a favour today, and help us get rid of the evil umongst us called HYBRID, PRIUS, etc... Mail this to 10 other people and something good will happen to you in the next 24 hours
I'll be the first to admit that driving something like a Prius doesn't quiet show off the gear-headness all of us gear-heads want to show off...but with prices the way they are, I'd be willing to drive this to work so I can have the money to play with my toy on the weekends.
at least toyota have already moved on to the future unlike other automakers which are still stuck on gas/diesel-powered engines. So haters, wake up & feel free to join us in 2012.
Compare to a Sonata hybrid. Full size vs. compact. 200hp vs 99. Lithium battery vs nickel hydrate. $26000 vs $26000. Beautiful vs fugly. Soft touch vs plastic. Hell, go get yourself a Hyundai!
@djkasdjkasdjdjdj I think you forgot what Jeremy Clarkson said at the end of that video: "it's not what you drive, it's how you drive it". If you put your foot down and try to drive a hybrid like a race car, of course you'll get poor gas mileage. But that kind of defeats the point of getting a hybrid. It's not just about saving money on fuel, but also about being patriotic and doing your part to reduce America's demand for oil, since most major oil producers are America's enemies
Remote Button Away Start is worth it you guys!! One push of a button and your car starts. You can warm-up your engine on cold mornings. On cold days you can leave your hot air on warms your entire vehicle. On hot days you leave your cold air on to cool inside. I had mine installed for $350.00 + alarm!
Some people have said that the Prius Hybrid saves you more money than the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. This is because the Plug-in Hybrid costs $35,000 while the Prius Hybrid only costs $25,000. It would take 10 years to eve then money. By then your Plug-in battery is already dead. Both cars are great however.
DOES THIS CAR IS AUTOMATIC? MANUAL? OR SOME SORT OF NEW COMMAND? HOW DOES IT WORK? JUST WITH GASOLINE? GASOLINE AND ELECTRICITY? DOES IT NEED TO BE CHARGED? IS IT LIKE A BATTERY? DOES IT CHARGE WITH THE SUN? SOMEBODY PLEAASE HELP ME!
@galletoxis Turn off the caps lock, get you head out your ass, and do a quick google search. You are literally sitting in front of the internet, the most massive collection of knowledge in the history of mankind. Use it.
Nice! This is gonna be my first collage car! A 2011 Toyota Prius but i'm gonna get the gps navigation and solar roof air conditioning package! Sweet! Really good for a car that costs $25,000+ Better than the Honda hybrid! Honda sucks!
@unchartedfan818 well i'm sort of a fan of powerful cars, and i don't care about the environment that much. I really like the car because of the technology it has and trust me the looks are very nice. people of all types can drive it, it can suit almost anyone. its economical. but i prefer fast cars like the camaro and any mid size bmw. but if dont let my comment keep you from buying this car, its an amazing car. just not so for me
@tven99 Wow dude! you don't give a crap about the environment do you!? That's sad because we're all gonna die soon if we don't pollute! P.S. muscle cars suck! I'd rather have a car that at least got me around somewhere and that was friendly to the environment!
I recently test drove a Toyota Prius. My critique of the Prius is that its a fuel efficient car. It gets 50 miles to the gallon. That's twice the regular gasoline car. Plus you can go electric vehicle mode for a short while. Toyota did a good job.
I think green, which is why I drive a Full size Truck. Well maintained it will last 50 years. A well maintained prius will be lucky to make it 10.. Like I said. I think green.
I opted to rent this one while my car was getting a dent repaired. Prius is actually a pretty cool car that saves alot of gas. One of my favorite parts was the 'EV' mode which you drive in purely electric mode up to 25mph. The new 2012 version will have a 'Plug-In' option that you can drive 12 miles on purely electric power.
The 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid gets 50 mpg. That's twice as much as a regular gasoline car of the 90's. The 2012 Plug-in Prius can get 13 miles on pure electric mode before getting that 50 mpg. EPA rating of 100 mpg.
@rwomble1 i dont have a big ego i just dont wanna look like i drive a car made by gooks for modern day hippies, homosexuals, and pencil pushers. you know what i call people who drive foreign cars?.. Country killers! American made all the way. you would kill me before i would buy a foreign car. i drive a truck because, Im gonna be one of the few proud Americans left who know that this country depends on real men who go to work and WORK.
@FDD2012 You'll be happy to hear that many of the Hondas and Toyotas you see on the road are built in the US at factories employing Americans. There's the tired, old argument that the profits go overseas. Profits from GM, Ford, and Chrysler go overseas as well since their US operations support their global efforts. Chrysler has a new marketing slogan for the Chrysler 300 that says "Imported from Detroit". That's cool until you realize the car is 100% built in Canada.
@renefern I would rather have the fake one :P. And VW rates the TDI Jetta at 30/42. You could get a Chevy Cruze Eco for less money with 28/42 mpg that runs on cheaper regular gas. Oh yeah, the VW still needs a battery, just a much smaller one.
@lawnmowerdude True it does need a battery but not to power the drivetrain like a hybrid, instead you have a powerful diesel engine with a 236 lbs of torque. VW rates the jetta TDI at 42 mpg but I am getting 48-50mpg highway miles and a combined City/Highway of 41mpg. Just drive one and you will understand what I am saying.
@renefern and what?...be left stranded on the side of the road because of volks poor reliability history?....sounds fun sitting in a "real car" while broken down in it lmao...
@renefern Nor really, I have owned VW's for 20 years now and not a single time I have been stranded on the road like you mention. But it looks you are one of those that believe everything you read or hear. Currently I own a 2009 Jetta TDi with 70,000 miles and have not failed one single time. Do some research on VW TDI's and you will find that these cars are really great,
@h5liu please quote your source, because I've heard this is far from true. wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/03/toyota-engineers-flowers-to-offset-production-pollution/
@inuderf83 This is actually untrue. I just read an article last night comparing all hybrids, and how many years each takes to pay for itself (for the gas savings.) The prius won by a LONG shot. It only took 3 years to pay off, whereas others took 6, 8, 9 and even 10 years to pay off. Also, it's got the lowest price tag. We have one from 2003, and it's been utterly fantastic. It's much bigger inside than you think, and we've had literally 0 issues with it at near 50 mpg. NO complaints here.
One more thing- I hear people say that the battery is covered under their warranty. NO it's NOT. You know why? Because it won't likely fail under the warranty. It'll fail right AFTER the warranty is up (unless you get an awesome lifetime FULL replacement warranty). Then there are those that say they'll just sell it right before or after the warranty is up. Now tell me who the hell is going to want to buy that car with a battery that's about to need replacing????
It is NOT cost effective to purchase one of these hybrids. Not right now anyway. Please tell me why you would pay over TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND dollars PLUS tax, title and license, just so you can get 48 miles to the gallon. Besides that, think of the THOUSANDS of dollars you'll pay for the battery if it blows after the warranty is up (and it will). Well there goes all that savings on gas hahaha! Right now it still makes better sense to get a small non-hybrid compact that gets in the 30's MPG.
@mine1username It depends on your driving. You have to calculate how long you will own the car, how many miles you put on it and get an "average" price for gasoline. As for the battery...it has been proven to be very reliable. Most 00' Priuses running around still have the original battery, and most 98' Priuses running around in Japan still have the original battery as well. I appreciate your opinion, but it'd be nice if you could do some research first before you start to talk out your ass.
Nice car. But how does it get slightly higher mpg in the city than the highway? Also the only thing holding me back from buying a hybrid is I do not know how reliable electric engines are. Im sure they cost a lot more if you have to make a trip to the mechanic for something because they are such new technology.
@BobbyHaet It gets better in the city due to all the braking which increases how long you can go on a battery. You'll have more petro on the freeway. Honda does worse in the city because the hybrid system isn't as effective as the Toyota or Ford system. You won't be at a mechanic because the Prius is a reliable car (which you can read about in Consumer Reports). Strictly price the Prius is the second cheapest car for ownership, the first is the Toyota Yaris.
Lets not forgetthe nickel to make the batteries are mined in Canada, shipped to Spain where it is further processed using massive amounts of energy to refine, then shipped to china to make it into a foam-type substance and finally assembled in Japan. From Japan it is shipped back around the planet to some stupid green, leaf eating fucking hippy in California or London who thinks he has the moral high ground but in reality he driving the biggest hypocritical "green" car ever made.
@peanuts2105 Even with the nickel metal or lithium ion it is more environmentally friendly by far then a regular petro car. Your argument has been debunked over, and over, and over again. It's amazing you people are still hucking the same old shit. A number of factors are involved to asses a green car, not one.
unless you give me specs on how bad diesels pollute im tempted to believe they are still better for the environment. you have to mine the minerals for the battery which come from canada then its shipped to china and then to be refined and then shipped to japan and then the us and then in 10 years or less and im sure a lot less in very cold climates you have to through out the batteries and spend 2000 more on new ones
i like what the prius is but im sick to death of this hybrid crap. i say crap because we should just adopt diesel engine and add atleast 10-20mpg to everything. case in point you can get 50 mpg with a awd subaru outback diesel.id rather have one of those.avant garde or ugly
U. S. Hybrid car sales figures are in for December, 2010. Fusion:1,438, Insight:1,637, Prius:15,639. That's roughly a 10 to one ratio against the competition.
And what happened to the Volt? Don't hear crap on it now. Toyota is kicking butt.
I bought this piece of shit months before it hit the dealers, without seeing the actual car. The photos looked great. I confess, the gas mileage is absolutely awesome, but that's where the good stops. The interior is all plastic--thin, brittle, hard with no soft touch to be found anywhere. The shit won't climb hills, and I piss my pants every time I merge onto the freeway. The seats are horrific, and a one hour ride wil leave your back and ass sore. Don't be fooled. Stay away. Try a Ford or VW.
to the people bitching about how this crap is better than the insight (honda), and honda's archaeic technology. the insight still has similar mileage for "archaeic hybrid technology", and i still dont see toyota being the worlds greenest automaker.
can someone send me a pm if this is a highest rated comment
@piano1324 Not the prettiest looking thing but greater mpg 50/48 compared to 41/36 and starting price of Prius $22,800 vs Fusion $28,100. If you go for looks.. then Fusion > Prius but Tesla>Fusion.
When are we americans gonna get real fuel efficient cars with small diesel engines like Eurpoe?
The prius is a overhyped piece of shit and doesnt even get good gas mileage IMO. This car is only good for environmental douche bags. Fuck all of you bitches!
@Mik5OO No thanks sir, Im perfectly happy with 3.5l vq35, 6mt, rwd sedan that gets me around 19mpg. It looks good, have enough power to make me smile.
I drive a lot and I could save cash with the Prius... but the pro-environment- bullshit image this car has... scares me away. It would be embarrassing to be lumped into the same crowd as the idiots who actually believe in global-warming.
@label1877 I kinda see where you're coming from. If I were to get the car though, I wouldn't feel lumped into the crowd who believes in global warming as I would feel lumped into the crowd of people who want a car with good gas mileage, which would be one of the reasons that I'd get this car.
@mydnyt Same with me The reason I would consider this car is because its reliable, roomy and is alot better on gas then my current car that gets 15 MPG. I don't buy into the environment stuff{there are alot of buses, and big trucks around here, sure they aren't good for the environment but no ones talks about them} and would have no factor on me choosing this vehicle.
What makes a car "gay" exactly? So, to avoid appearing to be "gay" on the road, let's all drive a Corvette or an Escalade? Talk about sheep that fall for automobile advertising and can't think for themselves. I put it to everyone that it's exactly the opposite. Some drivers, not all, buy flashy sports cars and huge SUV's because of an inferiority complex, and NEED such a vehicle to boost their self esteem. Sorry, but the truth hurts. Why not just live and let live? Jeez!
you may also want this vehicle if you dont want to stick your head out and scream your homosexuality on the highway. with this car you dont have to tell people your gay, the car says it for you
No, better. The Ford Fiesta with the automatic transmission gets 40 MPG highway. If you use the same engine and combine it with a hybrid engine and hybrid battery packs not to mention a different transmission, it'd probably get around 55 MPG highway, 60 MPG city with a combined of around 57 MPG.
I bought a 2010 Prius II for 22,800 bucks back in September and now have 19k miles on it. I've got no complaints, everything still works as new and getting 48-52 mpg depending on conditions. I recommend this car highly.
you talk about the pro-enviroment image. so ugly is the new image of eco-friendlyness? and did i hear somone say sleek look? it takes styling cues from a pontiac aztec.
didn't the old fieros get 40 mph? i'd rather have one of them.

One more thing- I hear people say that the battery is covered under their warranty. NO it's NOT. You know why? Because it won't likely fail under the warranty. It'll fail right AFTER the warranty is up (unless you get an awesome lifetime FULL replacement warranty). Then there are those that say they'll just sell it right before or after the warranty is up. Now tell me who the hell is going to want to buy that car with a battery that's about to need replacing????

It is NOT cost effective to purchase one of these hybrids. Not right now anyway. Please tell me why you would pay over TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND dollars PLUS tax, title and license, just so you can get 48 miles to the gallon. Besides that, think of the THOUSANDS of dollars you'll pay for the battery if it blows after the warranty is up (and it will). Well there goes all that savings on gas hahaha! Right now it still makes better sense to get a small non-hybrid compact that gets in the 30's MPG.
mine1username 1 year ago
@mine1username It depends on your driving. You have to calculate how long you will own the car, how many miles you put on it and get an "average" price for gasoline. As for the battery...it has been proven to be very reliable. Most 00' Priuses running around still have the original battery, and most 98' Priuses running around in Japan still have the original battery as well. I appreciate your opinion, but it'd be nice if you could do some research first before you start to talk out your ass.

@TitanSubZero15 2010- Civc Hybrid = 40-45, Insight = 40-43, Prius = 51-48. How is it worse then Honda on mpg?
60SecondAssassin1 11 months ago
Nice car. But how does it get slightly higher mpg in the city than the highway? Also the only thing holding me back from buying a hybrid is I do not know how reliable electric engines are. Im sure they cost a lot more if you have to make a trip to the mechanic for something because they are such new technology.

@BobbyHaet because it idles when not moving unlike others. When on the highway it gives full power.
inuderf83 1 year ago
@BobbyHaet It gets better in the city due to all the braking which increases how long you can go on a battery. You'll have more petro on the freeway. Honda does worse in the city because the hybrid system isn't as effective as the Toyota or Ford system. You won't be at a mechanic because the Prius is a reliable car (which you can read about in Consumer Reports). Strictly price the Prius is the second cheapest car for ownership, the first is the Toyota Yaris.

Lets not forgetthe nickel to make the batteries are mined in Canada, shipped to Spain where it is further processed using massive amounts of energy to refine, then shipped to china to make it into a foam-type substance and finally assembled in Japan. From Japan it is shipped back around the planet to some stupid green, leaf eating fucking hippy in California or London who thinks he has the moral high ground but in reality he driving the biggest hypocritical "green" car ever made.

@peanuts2105 Even with the nickel metal or lithium ion it is more environmentally friendly by far then a regular petro car. Your argument has been debunked over, and over, and over again. It's amazing you people are still hucking the same old shit. A number of factors are involved to asses a green car, not one.

unless you give me specs on how bad diesels pollute im tempted to believe they are still better for the environment. you have to mine the minerals for the battery which come from canada then its shipped to china and then to be refined and then shipped to japan and then the us and then in 10 years or less and im sure a lot less in very cold climates you have to through out the batteries and spend 2000 more on new ones

i like what the prius is but im sick to death of this hybrid crap. i say crap because we should just adopt diesel engine and add atleast 10-20mpg to everything. case in point you can get 50 mpg with a awd subaru outback diesel.id rather have one of those.avant garde or ugly
toyota420xp 1 year ago
U. S. Hybrid car sales figures are in for December, 2010. Fusion:1,438, Insight:1,637, Prius:15,639. That's roughly a 10 to one ratio against the competition.
And what happened to the Volt? Don't hear crap on it now. Toyota is kicking butt.

I bought this piece of shit months before it hit the dealers, without seeing the actual car. The photos looked great. I confess, the gas mileage is absolutely awesome, but that's where the good stops. The interior is all plastic--thin, brittle, hard with no soft touch to be found anywhere. The shit won't climb hills, and I piss my pants every time I merge onto the freeway. The seats are horrific, and a one hour ride wil leave your back and ass sore. Don't be fooled. Stay away. Try a Ford or VW.

@label1877 I kinda see where you're coming from. If I were to get the car though, I wouldn't feel lumped into the crowd who believes in global warming as I would feel lumped into the crowd of people who want a car with good gas mileage, which would be one of the reasons that I'd get this car.

@mydnyt Same with me The reason I would consider this car is because its reliable, roomy and is alot better on gas then my current car that gets 15 MPG. I don't buy into the environment stuff{there are alot of buses, and big trucks around here, sure they aren't good for the environment but no ones talks about them} and would have no factor on me choosing this vehicle.

What makes a car "gay" exactly? So, to avoid appearing to be "gay" on the road, let's all drive a Corvette or an Escalade? Talk about sheep that fall for automobile advertising and can't think for themselves. I put it to everyone that it's exactly the opposite. Some drivers, not all, buy flashy sports cars and huge SUV's because of an inferiority complex, and NEED such a vehicle to boost their self esteem. Sorry, but the truth hurts. Why not just live and let live? Jeez!

YourPowerStation 1 year ago
@YourPowerStation
No, better. The Ford Fiesta with the automatic transmission gets 40 MPG highway. If you use the same engine and combine it with a hybrid engine and hybrid battery packs not to mention a different transmission, it'd probably get around 55 MPG highway, 60 MPG city with a combined of around 57 MPG.
