Adding TCH to Hybrid Fleet :-)

dbermanmd · 06-06-2008, 11:48 AM

I am adding a TCH to the 2006 Prius in the driveway tonight

I am curious how many of you guys have the Prius in addition to the TCH and how you like it.

I have 50,000 miles on my Prius and average about 56mpg - currently since the winter broke. My only modification is inflating the tires 42/40.

I do not own a TCH but I could see that being the car i'd buy as well if I were to get a second car down the road

I had a TCH refuse to let me merge into traffic about 2 hours ago. I just love it when you put your signal on and someone purposely speeds up. Her hands went up when I jerked over anyway. I hate inconsiderate drivers.

We've had one for a couple months, replacing my wife's 2004 Prius. It is a much quieter and much more comfortable car than the Prius. The seats are far better than those in the Prius, the ride is not as busy on imperfect roads, and the traction control doesn't shut down the car when the slightest bit of slip is detected, unlike my Prius.

Considering the deep discounts that were available on the Camry hybrid recently, the TCH is much more car for the money than the Prius. I prefer to drive something the size of a Prius, and like the additional 10mpg, but the Camry is more enjoyable to drive. Oh yeah, the trunk is kind of small on the Camry already, even before sacrificing space to the battery.

what are dealers letting these go for? a couple of months ago you could get them under invoice...like the prius. but, not anymore. i am thinking about going the tch route since the prius wait is so long.
