Yeah, that’s a new Toyota ad campaign. I’m going with Prii (pre aye).
I got myself a Prius last summer and so far I’m loving it. And it doesn’t drive any worse in the snow than my Corolla did. I get great gas mileage (although not as great in the winter as when it was warm). It’s comfortable. I didn’t get all the bells and whistles, just a basic model. The only extra I sometimes wish I’d gotten was the leather heated seats. But I only wish that on really cold days.
There are a few things I would change that all are design flaws but wouldn’t make me not buy the car again. I find it hard to back up straight. I don’t know why (I had a hatchback long ago as my first car and had no problem) but I’m thinking it has to do with the location of the back windshield wiper. It creates a false center for the back window. I’d fix that if it were up to me.
I can’t see the front of the car so I never know if I’m going to run into the wall in the parking garage when I’m parking. I stop right before I’m sure I’m going to run into it. Then find I’m a good foot and a half away. It’s also hard to judge the back of the car, but not as bad as the front.
There’s no place to store change. Truly I find this the most annoying design flaw since my Corolla had at least 3 places to store change, two of which were designed for change. What gives Toyota?
But on the whole I like it.
Now. Sing along … what do you call one when it turns into more …
