I don't mind that you drive that way, but put the pedal to the floor to get out of harm's way when you need to, then coast in the right lane at your leisure to take advantage of that fuel savings. I don't even think the fact that it's underpowered is the only issue, I think most Prius owners are too busy watching that fuel economy screen and they don't accelerate to even the Prius' maximum ability when entering a highway.

Most prius drivers will say this isn't an issue - "but I'm being green and it's a Toyota product isn't this car perfect? - but it is for those of us around you.

BOTH parties are wrong - the Prius for being in a passing lane, and the truck driver for being a moron. I like to picture an F150 barrelling down 95 at 85MPH, tailgating a Prius - oh, and a New Hampshire plate on the truck gets you a gold star - as the typical image of my commute. a-hole driving with always be a balance never attained by most. Until there's some kind of better solution - like less drivers on our crumbling, crowded roads - adequate merging/acceleration vs. We all know the reality of Massachusetts driving. TCD, standing on the soapbox only discourages honest debate. It's a sub-Corolla with additional weight due to the battery nothing more. WVW is right on all fronts w/ the factual data presented. Posted by Broken Down New Prius December 15, 08 08:46 PM The mystique of Toyota's quality record also seems to be in question. Needless to say this experience has tainted any interest in buying a Prius with this lemon. A virtually new car with 1500 miles on it bearing the badge of the leading quality auto manufacturer in the world breaks down? Inexcusable. Yes, all you folks that had to get around me between the mass pike and 128, a Toyota Prius broke down and did not run out of gas. The second day, however, the car completely lost power and broke down on the side of the highway. The first day I found it to be a capable car, both quiet and efficient at ~45mpg.

I rented a Toyota Prius with 1500 miles & an almost full tank while my car was being serviced as I was potentially interested in getting one. Working so hard had its consequences as the next day it completely died with a major system failure.
Prius was fine accelerating the first day I rented it and was able to muster enough power to handle more than the speed limit. (For more Prius envy, check out this Globe video of the state's modified plug-in Prius that claims 100 miles per gallon). Surely buyers could sacrifice a few miles for greater driving confidence. Toyota has promised more power for the next Prius, due late 2009. But there's no getting around a 1.5 liter gas engine in a car this size, even with electric assist. Even with my eager foot, I still averaged 40 miles per gallon around Boston, where its whisper-quiet operation helped it feel light on its feet. Indeed, the Prius is admirable as a city car. speed limits require reaching highway speeds of 70 and 75 m.p.h. Today's economy cars get to sixty in around eight seconds, family sedans average in the sixes and sevens, and today's 65 m.p.h. ( Read Car Lust's fantastic take on a 350,000-mile 240). That car boasted 114 horsepower and a 3,000-pound curb weight (about the same as a Prius), and couldn't keep up with traffic 10 years ago. Now I know how my mother used to feel when she roared her 1987 Volvo 240 DL at full song, her body leaning forward as if she was coaxing a horse. That's not adrenaline kicking in - it's instinct telling you that zero to 60 in 10 seconds can be flat-out dangerous. But I'll bet their hearts pump faster when they're about to enter I-93 North during rush hour - as I did - with the pedal floored, the engine groaning like a lawnmower, and a train of cars rushing past as the lane ends right about NOW. Prius drivers are too busy bragging about mileage and keeping up with the latest Barack Obama bumper stickers to be concerned about speed.
Without a stopwatch, no one can tell the difference between bombing to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds versus 4.1, and everyday situations don't require a Bugatti Veyron to merge on the turnpike. The Prius saves fuel like it's 2020, but drives like it came from 1987.Īcceleration numbers may seem like the quibbles of car enthusiasts, and for the most part they are. Big, grateful tears stream down your cheek, the white-knuckle fear of 110 horsepower on a freeway entrance ramp gone. Jumping into traffic in a Prius makes any regular car seem like a slingshot.
