I don't spend a second worrying about it until I see their dinner-plate sized Ford F emblems gleaming through my back window as they chew their Cheetos and spit their tobaccy juice out their window.
If we're going to have a stereotyping contest I think I'll come out ahead of that crowd. I agree with your comment. Car itself had no fault. The fault is came from the driver. The driver in LA is so crazy. My Prius had never been driving slower than 55 mph due to people keep pushing in my back and I seldom drive in the fast lane because I am a reasonable person. I have been living in US for 40 years and I know today driver character is more aggressive than before.
Car design to help people having more than a choice so how to drive it is people decision. Please don't blame on car. I hate people who drive a BMW most of them is behaving likes a Jerk but the car itself is great.
So Prius is a Great car to save your budget. It is reliable, reasonable and economical. But when you are in this kind of car, please respect others on road.
The one who drive fast and pushing people on the back usually had an abnormal mental behavior. My message to the fast drivers on highway that: changing lane in order to make faster is a wrong thinking if the traffic is busy.
Driving fast on the weekend when no one needs to be hurry for work that is insane. So the problem here is human brain not car brain. Thanks so much. I got a Prius v a year and a half ago. It's the most squeaky, rattle-trap of a car I've ever had. But it does get 50mpg at 65mph. And it's pretty room inside. So it's hard to complain too much. But a solidly-built car, it's not. While I think that they could improve the ride of the Prius, my Prius has been well built in every other way and is a very solid car.
A couple friends have the Prius V and say the same about theirs. My guess is that you have a very rare exception or are yet another liberal-hating conservative that can't help but spew lies about a car stereotypically tied to people who are liberal in thought.
Funny how the Author links Hybrids to the Prius in absolute terms - Actually this is fantastic. We are talking about a car of which Toyota has managed to sell many - in Millions.
I live in Ireland. I drive a Prius which was first registered in the UK. My wife on the other hand drives a Toyota Yaris that was first registered in Japan. The speedo on this car always agrees with the TomTom and my phone satnav. It is therefore very easy to think you are driving on the speed limit, while enraging drivers behind you who think you are just dawdling along.
I think folks bash people who drive a Prius because they really wish they were driving a very fuel efficient and reliable vehicle that's practical with a lot of interior space, but they're too afraid of the negative peer pressure of buying one.
Basically they're like teenagers influenced by peer pressure, so they don't do what they want to do. I've found most Prius owners to be independent and intelligent thinkers who are confident enough to do the smart thing. Same with bashing those who eat organic food. People don't want to admit that organic food is better, so they'll bash them to make themselves feel better. Bottom line is that the more something is bashed on social media, probably the better it is.
That's cool. But I don't see any intelligent driving. Why in a passing lane going 55 mph in a 65 mph zone. I have nothing against the car. You can drive what you want, just drive properly. Today the Prius driver is the new mini-van.
What the writer omits is that the major source of the bashing comes from hateful conservatives that view the Prius as a car for the far left in political affiliation. They feel the need to rip on any and everything that liberals like, even if it actually falls in line with one of their beliefs - in this case, not being reckless with money since the Prius has one of the lowest operational costs of cars today.
The Prius can out accelerate the super duty to 60 because the super duty is an 8, pound truck. It might be able to beat the focus with the 1. Skip to Content Skip to Footer. In-depth reviews Home Toyota Prius. Engines, performance and drive - currently reading.

The speedometer went up to mph I know the top speed is supposed to be and he was getting about 20 mpg. Also, the battery was draining rapidly from what I remember. Thanks Tony! Massive eye-roll. I haven't gotten it up to but I have got it around 95MPH. I was in the 80's and I was very curious to see how fast I could get it.
I rarely speed. Janus Drug Pilot. I can get my other car up to in Good thing we bought the Prius for fuel efficiency, not performance! This car had a couple of modifications but still impressive. I saw a short story about this on TV not too long ago. Devil's Advocate Member. The Toyota Prius is one of the most popular hybrid vehicles available on the market today. This attractive sedan provides you with an environmentally friendly alternative to standard cars, and it was named the North American Car of the Year in So, how do you know what speed your Prius switches from electric to gas?
Read on to find out more. Hybrid cars use two different engines to operate: an electric motor and a gas-powered motor. The vehicle switches between these two motors depending on the speed at which it travels.
