If you didn't buy a prius...

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid.

 

Toyota Camry... it is what we were originaly going to buy.

 

I was buying a vehicle for use by my late wife's caregivers to transport her to cancer treatments. Other possible choices were the Fit and Mazda5.

 

Model S
2013 Volt
Maybe a Rav4ev if they were sold in Minnesota

 

A Volt and two years later I did.

 

Most likely a small SUV or crossover although I don't really like them. After having the hatch in the Prius, I can't live without it, it is too versatile. And most sedans are boring and don't have the space of the hatch.

 

I would have bought a Volt but only seating 4 passengers was a deal breaker for me. That said, I love our Prius. No regrets whatsoever. In about 5 years I'll give it to one of my kids and buy a 2nd or 3rd gen PIP or Volt.

 

My 2009 Prius was recently sat on by an 18 wheeler.

I considered 3 cars:

A) a new 2011 Prius liftback still on my dealers lot. They showed no interest in selling it. ($1000 off list is not going to move a two year old car)

B) a 2012 PiP. Ms Whitmore would ship it to MS from CA for $750 I just could not buy a car sight unseen.

C) a 2012 Prius V. I like the cargo room, and I use a car as a cargo carrier most often.

So if I had not purchased the Prius, I would have purchased some other Prius.

 

Honda Insight - Lower cost, though substantially less refined hybrid system & lower mileage.
Ford C-Max - Similar cost, but isn't really available at dealers yet.

 

If not the prius would probably be driving a Honda fit

 

A Volt. Model S or X in 2015.

 

After having a new Camry Hybrid loaner, possibly one of those. I loved it. I wanted my wife to try out other options such as Honda hybrids and the Volt, but she has wanted a Prius for a long time. Truthfully if she hadn't gotten the 2012 Prius it probably would've been another Sienna!

 

Looking back, even though I needed a car right away, I should have gotten a bearer for a year and ordered a BR-Z.

In 2001, we looked at:

• 2001 Prius - 1.5L, no cruise control, hideous green, GPS navigation, $22,000
• 2001 Echo - 1.5L, cruise control (after market), silver, electric locks, no GPS, $14,250

We bought the 2001 Echo but we sold it for $3,000 to buy my wife's 2010 Prius and never looked back.

I was on the way to buy a Mini when wife said she would rather have a Prius. This was her first Prius in '05, she's now on her second, a gen 3, and I'm driving the gen 2.

 

I did not buy the Prius C after the test drive. I ended up buying the Prius GenIII.

 

Dodge Charger SE with the 8 speed auto. They are down to $21k in my area for the 2012

 

If I didnt buy the greatest car in the world? Probably a lambo..

 

Is that new or used?
