What is the average age of the Prius owner?

Nice thread revival... the poll was in 2005, and it may also indicate more the overlap between prius owners and internet users then.

I'm 22. The Prius is the first car I bought on my own. I love it and am totally proud to own one.

It sure beats the crappy civics, subarus, and mazdas that my friends think are cool.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I'm probably the youngest at 17.

I couldn't agree with you more. This is precisely the reason more young people don't drive Prius(es/i) is because they think Honda or Mazda is cooler when in fact, the Prius is probably one of the coolest car out there. It's a shame.

I'm 26 in Los Angeles. I had a bmw but was never as excited to be in that car than the Prius

On any occasion that needs a car, grocery, work, family visits, I'm just Sooo much more happier.

Agreed! 17 when I traded in my lifted wrangler and got mine...friends have BMW, trucks, or some acura or mazda........I still like my car more!

Prius is a cool car!!!...........I'm 60, living in a college town and I see plenty of "younger" people driving it...

I am now 75. Owned a Civic Hybrid for almost 5 years before getting the Prius in 07.

mostly the 30's and up will own a prius because of it saving money. the younger crowd would most likely not care about that as they would rather have a nice sports car

25 here. Just traded my sports car for a Prius. I outgrew the need for all the horsepower.

Prius is a cool car for each age level. In the area where I live, most prius owners are 20s and up.
