Why the 2008 Toyota Prius?

Feature availability

The car has lots of storage space, an excellent a/c, a very good stereo and nav system, 6 CD changer, satellite radio and mp3 capability, tons of cargo room, heated mirrors, auto dim inside rear view mirror, and a super keyless entry and starting system.

Why Not the 2008 Toyota Prius?

Price or payments

There is the "hybrid premium" you pay because of the new technology, but the Prius is neither a small car not a cheap car. It is larger than a Camry inside and it is well built with tons of features not found on cars such as the Yaris, Corolla, Elantra...

Powertrain performance

The gas engine sounds raspy when pushed hard, and if your traction battery is low you are stuck with an anemic 1.5 engine. However, on stop and go traffic the Prius is on its best and feels terrific; quiet, smooth and easy on fuel.
