My Prius saved my life!
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Excellent mileage and it saved my life!
Cons: No power seat but I'm over that!
The Bottom Line:
Great step in stopping global warning without taking away the great driving experience!
A couple weeks after buying my new Prius, I was hit from behind by a drunk driver on the way home. Not so bad but there was a semi-truck coming up right behind me as well that didn't have time to do anything other than hit me again and send me flying into the cement wall. My side airbags deployed (good, because otherwise my head would have gone through the driver's side window) and I walked away from that crash with a scrape on my arm and a couple "goose-eggs" on my head. I have no doubt that had I been driving mt last car (Ford Escape Hybrid) I would have just been sent over the side of the road into the swamp. The very next day I was in the dealership ordering another Prius!
For the couple weeks that I had it, it was a GREAT car! I can not rave enough! I was getting 51.1 mpg and had gone 646 miles on my last tank of gas! Amazing! Much better that the Ford Hybrid! It is clear to me that Toyota has taken the time to listen to customer feedback as well as ensure maximum safety! I was sold on the car when I bought it but I can assure you that I am now sold on if for life!
