2009 Prius owner here with
2009 Prius owner here with 160K miles. I've owned a '76 Comet, '84 Subaru, '90 Escort, 2001 Chevy Malibu, '94 F150 and 2002 BMW. Loved the power of the BMW, the use of the F150 (hauled stuff when I flipped properties) but hands down the Prius is the best car I've owned and continue to own. The last 3 vehicle, including the Prius were bought used and with cash. I average 53mpg with the Prius in the summer and it gets be from point A to point B. Why do I say that? Well after averaging 23 miles per hour with my commute to work in the BMW and its lack of gas mileage, I decided the Prius could get the same miles per hour with much better gas mileage. Oh yeah. I eat steaks, make my own beer, might have a shot of bourbon tonight and I turn pens.
