Would you buy a Prius again?

Speedracer · 07-24-2005, 11:04 PM

After 1yr relationship with my Prius, I love it so far.
For me this is ultimate commuting car :mrgreen: (I commute 70miles round trip everyday)

I can not wait next gen Prius.

[font=Comic Sans MS:20f6e55420]I only have 5K miles on my Silver Cloud. My wife sure has Prius envy! We have big dogs, so she's sticking with her Sienna for now, but when the time comes, if she doesn't get a hybrid Sienna, she's getting a Prius. I plan to keep my Prius forever, but when the fuel-cell model comes out, maybe I'll get that one.[/font:20f6e55420]

)

Hmmmm...would I buy a Prius again? If only Toyota addresses the crappy stereo system, rough ride and high NVH levels. I would definately buy another hybrid car for sure, though. The GS hybrid or next generation Accord Hybrid is potentially a winner.

I most definitely would buy another one. Hopefully in 10 years or so once my current one is due for replacement they have a PHEV Prius out that gets 150+ mpg.

And if, God forbid, something were to happen to Priuscilla in the meantime, I would not hesitate to replace her with another Prius, and it will be another Package #6 (or equivalent 2006+) with gray interior.

Yes...and it's on order right now! An '05 Silver AM to join ranks with our '04 Seaside AM, probably within 2 weeks now.

Toyota is so far ahead of the competition right now. HSD is better than anything out there. Prius is the best car out there, bar none. This fourm proves it, the sales figures prove it, the wait lists prove it.

My wife is currently driving an '03 Regal. She loves that car. Because it's an '03, because we pretty much just got it, and because she likes the size of the vehicle, she's in no hurry to give it up for a Prius.

But when she heard that the HyCam would be coming out, she offered, "I think I could be convinced to get one of those."

So the question was "Would you" and I said yes without hesitation. However, if the question were "Will you" I would have to say no because our next car will be a HyCam.

Absolutely...however, if I continue at ~7Kmiles/year, I'll be at least 100 years old when my 2005 Pkg 6 Seaside Pearl starts to show its age.... 8)

NO!! I'D NEVER BUY ONE!!! aka I want someone to GIVE me one

geminirat · 07-25-2005, 07:23 PM

Yes was the one best answer for me but if we (the car and I) treat each other well would I ever need another car? I love this car.

When I need another one what will be out there? Who would have known I would be part of a Prius gang now? This is progressive stuff. And if humanity doesn't wipe itself out somehow, more amazing things will come.

What bothers me is the proliferation of all vehicles, more people, more drivers, more places to go, and all those damn brakelights in front of us.
