Am I the only person that is bummed because he wants to talk **** about the Prius, but can't because the debate is so horribly one sided?


**** it...

I have come to the conclusion that, a Prius is not much different then a Vespa. you get awesome fuel economy if you are driving around in the city. But, once you get on the freeway (Vespa is too slow for freeway travel) the Prius becomes a rather inefficient car. With a Prius at highway speeds, you are lucky to get more than 23MPG where as a WRX can easily get 25+ at highway speeds.


Source: My mom owns a Prius.

Furthermore, a Prius goes through tires like no tomorrow. My mom is about to get her 5th set at just a little over 100,000 miles.

You know because all Prius drivers drive very little.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Your commute length is your commute length, regardless of what kind of car you are in. 35,000 miles in a prius definitely is worse than 10,000 miles in a wrx, but if you have to drive 35,000 miles then you have to drive 35,000 miles, and a prius is a better alternative than a wrx for that.

I'm not going to comment on this because frankly I haven't seen enough evidence on either side regarding the recycling/disposal/effects of the batteries. The point I was going after was really gas consumption.

****ing prius.
The cars that you are referring to, like a CRX, or something, are insanely fuel efficient, but not even comparable to a prius in terms of creature comforts, capacity, or pickup.

shamefully, i dont care how much damage the prius does to the environment.

i have always been a fan of diesel and going catless.

if i had to do a TON of city driving, i would get a prius or a civic but i dont have to so own a wrx.

Turbo diesels FTW!

My buddy has a 6mt Jetta TDI wagon and regularly gets 40+ mpg on the freeway. IIRC, he's averaging around 38 mpg.
