Comparo: Honda Fit vs. Toyota Prius - National Post
06.02.09
I must admit I was amazed by the fuel efficiency of the Toyota Prius: After nearly 600 kilometres of mostly city driving, I averaged an incredible 4.1 litres per 100 km, just less fuel efficient than the 4.0 L/100 km city fuel economy Transport Canada lists for the hybrid. It's not that I doubted the numbers; I just didn't think I could manage such a feat based on my conversations with my colleagues -- and my inability to drive very, ahem, fuel efficiently. One colleague warned me that I would have to stay at a speed limit of around 50 kilometres an hour, necessary, he said, to keep the engine from switching from electric to gas. Another bet I couldn't do it --and he was right for the most part. My hypermiling ways lasted all of one day. I hate being the slowest person on the road (although, believe me, in Toronto, I wasn't the slowest --but that's another story). It's just not in my nature to drive conservatively. So, I was quite surprised that, after more than 100 km of lead-footing it around the city, I still managed to keep all the little white squares on the fuel gauge intact. Same thing at 200. It wasn't until I was well past the 300-km mark that the squares started disappearing. Still, after driving the Prius for close to 600 km at my normal speed (translation: just fast enough not to get caught), I managed to use only half a tank of gas.

toyota prius?
Aug 07, 2007 by fershurr123 | Posted in Toyota
so ya i like the toyota prius.
but i was wondering if people who have them like them or not.
and tell why or why not.
k thankssss
I recently bought a 2007 Prius and so for its great. The gas mileage ranges at 50 to 55 mpg . has tons of available features and options, drives good, rides good, handles great, easy to manuever, tight turning radius, back up camera. smart key stsyem enables u not to have put key in long as its on u such as pocket /purse etc. u can go up and touch the door handle and it unlocks, the hatch back sorta gives wife that suv feeling, very fun car to drive. and its a great Hybird. i done lots of reveiwes and asked tons questions before i decided but i am glad i did. its the car of the future unless gas prices fall tremdously and dont see that happening, and even if they do produce a better option on a greener car for the envronemt and a alterntive on fuel prices you will save tons on gas while they r doing so. and u do get a tax incentive . I love our prius and I am a guy who has always been a pickupman, i still have my full size truck but i do enjoy driving the prius. great car. iw ould suggest getting the extra mile warranty which is 6 yrs/100,000 miles. this covers everyhting except brake pads , tires oilcages etc. but anything that goes wrong on the car is covered free rental car assitance and no deductibles etc. well hope this helps u make ur decision ..

What's the difference between Toyota Prius packages?

I want to buy a used Toyota Prius and I need to find some information on the packages.
How long does it take to order a Toyota Prius?
Aug 26, 2007 by Ab S | Posted in Toyota
My lease is up in mid September and ordered a Jeep Patriot, but they have no idea when the vehicle will be in. I am coming down to the wire. Do Toyota dealerships typically can a wide array of Toyota Prius models? I obviously dont have 5-8 weeks..
Funny how all the VW fans come out of the woodwork whenever anyone asks about the Prius.
By the way: Fuel economy for the 2007 Prius is 48 city / 45 highway (regular unleaded), and for the 2006 VW TDI New Beetle it is 31 city / 40 highway (diesel). Identically the same numbers for the 2006 VW Golf TDI. That's using the *NEW* mileage test results from the EPA. So the gasoline Prius still beats the diesel TDI, both in city and on the open highway. [There are no 2007 VW TDI models, that's why I listed 2006.]
Ignoring that -- most Toyota dealers have a good selection of Prius cars these days, just waiting for you to walk in and buy one. If you want a specific color and specific options, you may have to look around to more than your closest dealer, or push your dealer to trade with another dealer. But if you start looking now, you shouldn't have any problem getting a Prius you'll be happy with by mid-September.
