2006 Toyota Prius from North America - Comments

The Prius is homelier and has much less horsepower than the Cobalt SS. The higher initial purchase price of the Prius would take years of ownership to justify the alleged increased gas mileage. Because the Prius is so slow, there is a safety consideration when performing accident avoidance maneuvers, which require maximum horsepower.

I drive about 15,000 miles a year, and even if gas rose to $10.00 per gallon, it would still consume less than one percent of my income, so who cares about gas mileage anyway?!

My wife's Prius recently needed a new battery...$4000.00 installed! I recently replaced the battery on my gas guzzling Chevy Suburban...$70.00 installed. I can buy a heck of a lot of gas for the difference!
