Among hybrids, Prius is the best. Unless you need an SUV/truck for more room. The Prius gets excellent mileage and has plenty of power. However, the cost of replacing the batteries will eat up anything you save on gas. The technology just ain’t there yet.
Is there any avaliable record yet that documents how many miles people have gone before having to change the batteries out? My understanding is they are guaranteed for 150k, and about 7 grand for new ones. Yah, I think even at 150,000 miles that 7k will eat up most if not all of the gas savings. However, maybe at 200 or 300k? Or, better yet, just sell the car at 149k...:)
I had one for a week when ford kicked me out of my van for a recall. It musta been broken because it had zip, zero, modda for power.
I got honked at trying to get on the highway.
Come to think of it. I honk AT THEM when they are trying to get on the highway.
So I dispute your claim that they have plenty of power. Unless you mean in the battery.
