As was noted, this is not a political forum...   To keep things for spinning completely of topic, I'm removing the off topic posts.   This discussion is for new Prius owners to give us their first reports about their new vehicles.
#45 of 541 Prius is not fast, but it's fun by ck90211 Oct 02, 2006 (5:32 pm)
Midcow, I am serious about Prius fun-to-drive. Can't argue with S2000's performance, but fun (for me at least) is about nearing a car's limit (and pushing the limit of your handling skills). That is why fun (even sporting) is defined differently in every era, in different car class, in different terrains, etc..   You probably get a lot of fun darting around traffic, putting S2000's shifter, suspension, redline, brakes to work. For me, I will be putting the Prius's electric motor to work, hoping I can cover the same trip by using the electric motor as much as I can, still keep up with the traffic. Your fun probably comes from how little time you use for your trip, my fun comes from how little gas I use for the same trip.   But if your trip is so "FUN", why are you trying to shave time off it?

Car drives smooth and tracks perfectly. Gas mileage is overall 45-48 mpg, wow! What a change from my old Tahoe and SS Camaro. Paid regular msrp, no extra or up charges. Sierra Toyota in Lancaster, Ca. was great! Surprises? Yeah, I am surprised how much I enjoy the Navagation system, too much fun! The sound system in the opt.5 is outstanding.

Replying to: priusman2007 (Oct 09, 2006 11:14 am) Okay let me try this again. How do you like your Prius compared to the SS Camero? The SS Camaro has always been one of my favorite muscle cars nice tire spinning power and a sweet exhaust note. I am sure you like the much,much better mileage of the Prius, but don't you miss the power just a littel?   MidCow Replies to this message: quasar4 (Oct 12, 2006 9:31 pm) midnightcowboy (Oct 13, 2006 5:06 am) quasar4 (Oct 13, 2006 5:23 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: midnightcowboy (Oct 10, 2006 8:11 am) How do you like apples compared to oranges?   Why not accept that fact that when someone says they have fun driving a Prius, they are telling the truth? Do you think that people are just saying they love driving the car when secretly they hate it? Who cares what the reason is? If it's fun, it's fun. I love chocolate cake and I love sushi. Is is unbelievable that I can love both?   I love driving my Prius. It's fun to drive. Your opinion may differ.
