Is buying a COROLLA a better deal than a PRIUS?

    Do you know the difference between a Savings Bond and a man? The Bond is guaranteed to mature in 30 years.


    Nice!

    Then pray tell, ski.dive. Why did you buy not one...but two Prius? Why not a Corolla, since its the absolute God's gift to the motoring public?

    I own a Prius(04) as well as a Corolla(03). The difference in the cars is fairly large. The Prius does have a more spacious cabin, better ride (handling) and is more like a luxury vehicle.

    I will say the Corolla is a good car and mine gets about 33-35 MPG. I am thinking about replacing the Corolla with another Prius. That tells you my vote.

    lol... don't put god's gift and Corolla in the same sentence. The Corolla is a great car (I wanted one before the Prius came along) esp. in Canada as you can load it up fairly close to the level of our 2002 Camry XLE (minus leather, heated front seats, power passenger seat, rear sunshade and rear vents but add SKS, LED 3rd brake light, TRAC, VSC, Brake Assist, tyre pressure monitoring system, foglights, MP3 CD, AUX, electroluminescent gauges, power driver's side lumbar support and slightly narrower tyres - 205 vs. 215mm)

    but it's not exciting to drive. The Prius at least gives you a game (mpg) to play.
