Nothing.
The Prius so far has met all my expectations of an everyday driving automobile.
We bought this car last week, and it's performing well. I look at this automobile as an interest in life, and an investment into the future and future technology. And just like all technologies, such as microprocessors and batteries, everything will go down in price, and soon you will see transmission driven cars will be more expensive and outdated to fix.
The Prius is leading the way for the future, and I am proud to have one now.
The pick up is fine; it's not like I spend my days racing around town, especially in traffic. As long as it can reach 100mph, it's all good.
I have put 220 miles on it so far, and I average 42mpg.
Your mileage will continue to increase as you get closer to 1000 miles. Our break-in period lasted until 1000 miles and we're getting 46 mpg regularly in city traffic now. It increased about 10 mpg in the first 1000 miles.
"and soon you will see transmission driven cars"
What the hell does this mean? aren't ALL cars driven by a transmission?
I really think he meant to say hybrid cars.
