Hey, Irishowl, I really like the look of that little car. Is it worth it?

Hi Caly!

No bumper stickers but thanks to my ds there are a couple of racing stickers in back window. Rear view mirror holds a cross from when my grandmother had the car. She also had a guardian angel visor clip and a traveling motorists prayer that is still there. The car is 17 yrs old but has alot of sentimental value so I cant bring myself to change anything or get another car even though I really, really need to!. Oh, I did change one thing! She had a flag attached to the radio antenna so she could find it in the parking lot. I removed that! LOL

If something has sentimental value in the car, I wouldnt remove it either.

Hey Blue!

Every penny! I love my little Prius, although it looks deceptively small from the outside. I can carry my partner, 2 dogs and 4 suitcases without a problem. :lol: I get about 45-50 miles per gallon depending on how much in town driving vs freeway driving I do. We did buy the extended warranty and pre paid service plan. The battery that helps run the Prius is so expensive that we just wanted a little extra insurance and wanted to make sure we always keep up on our maintence. The bad thing about a Prius is that pretty much any accident beyond a fender bender is going to total your car because the engine components are so expensive.
It's a great car, it's a ton of fun to drive and if they are still making the Prius when this one dies, I plan to buy another. All my friends can't believe I don't want to buy a mini van when we have kids. But, the Prius is big enough for 2 car seats a stroller and diaper bag.......so I'm all set! It's nice to only fill my tank once every 2-3 weeks, especially when the cost of gas is so high.

I would love to have a Prius.
I have heard that they actually get better mileage in the city, because it's more stop & go, and the battery is used more than constant highway driving.
Do you find this to be true?
I also read that the 2008 may get up to 95 MPG...yes you read correctly! I think they are changing the battery type to a more powerful battery.
I read a lot about the Prius before I got my last car. I ended up getting something completely different because I needed dependability in snow, potentially lots of snow.

I'm one of those people who believes that our vehicles and how we choose to adorn them tell a lot about people.
