Either they didn't drive both cars or i don't know what happened.

In the chart it shows 0-60 8 sec for the Honda... which every other source says it is 12 sec.

The writer also points out how much faster the civic is ...

Something is wrong about this article... making the entire magazine unreliable.

All you need is to give it a fake info ... including email ... it doesn't verify.

Why not provide us the fake info here so that we can reuse it rather than fill their database with false individuals?

Their spec on the Prius is totally wrong. It said HP is 76 at 5000 RPM. That's just the gas engine, combine with the motor, it's 110 HP at 5000 RPM.

They should do more research before writing an article.

I visit another board called www.greenhybrid.com
The founder owns a prius, but alot of Honda owners frequent the board and do a lot of model comparisons and lean heavly towards the Hybrid Hondas..
But there are a few of us Prius owners trying to keep the truths going lol... <_<

Is that an invitation to support prius owners on greenhybrid.com with facts?

I also visit that site occasionally. But not a member.

I for one don't find it funny. It's one thing of Honda owner to be biased, but this is article is supposedly written by professionals.

A car is the 2nd biggest purchase most people do in their life.

I think these so called professional magazines take more responsibility to what they write.
