Replying to: midnightcowboy (Mar 14, 2005 8:27 am) Any number of forums, and especially Edmunds, that have REAL live people giving their experiences with their vehicles. Not a nameless, faceless number purported to represent Real owners of real vehicles put out by CR, a company I consider suspect in their agenda. I have no opinion on JD Powers never have read one of their reports. I have said this before. I consider your opinion & the opinions of the other posters much better real time information than magazine and statistical data from people that get paid to present information. |

Real Opinions and experiences, such as the Edmunds forum, are good input. But,Consumer Reports is probably more accurate, only because it is a better overall statistically correct sample. I never buy anything based on only testimonial advertising; now those people are really paid and are really the exceptions. Biggest example that comes to mind is the bow-flex grandmother. Good luck everyone ! MidCow

Replying to: midnightcowboy (Mar 14, 2005 12:52 pm) Also Awards say quite abit about a car too. Prius has just about cleaned house in that department. Then there's the other websites that add to more info. to help a potential buyer decide on a purchase. Culliganman(the more ya know, the more ya know) P.S. MotorWeek is another avenue. |

Replying to: backy (Mar 10, 2005 1:54 pm) Prius: 10.2 secs. (full charge) Perhaps the Civic "feels" quicker because its smaller engine revs higher . Yeah well, that's what I said. Civic FEELS faster, and that's why I prefer it. I prefer manual shifting too. However, I dispute your numbers. Car&Driver tests (fully charged) show: Civic cvt = 11.0 Prius cvt = 11.3 Essentially Equal. Troy

I have an HCH 5-speed....Anyone in a Prius want to meet me somewhere in Phoenix for a 0-60 drag race? Bring It On, Hybrid Synergy Boys !!!

Thanks for pointing out Motor Trend. Look at their 0-60 figures for an empty battery: CIVIC = 12.8 PRIUS = 15.0 troy

Whatever. I said I prefer the manual shift. Prius doesn't have manual. So it's obvious I wouldn't pick it. troy

Replying to: backy (Mar 17, 2005 11:20 am) We should note that is a depleted battery, not empty. The Prius won't even start if the battery is below 20%. The HCH, of course, will just run more slowly.
