What category car did your Prius replace?

13' Civic Si for a 14' Prius C3

 

2001 Porsche Boxster and 2001 Honda CRV. We keep cars 10-11 years.

Consider "other" and "2-cars (explain)" categories.

 

Coming from an 06 Civic Hybrid.

 

I came from a trouble free 2006 Civic LX. I drive a lot so I remember hypermiling to 45 mpg to try to make the tank last 1 week. Now with the PiP, the tank lasts 8 or 9 days. It's a constant bother as it disrupts my weekly fuel up cadence.

Gotta love first world problems.

 

My 2004 replaced the Royal Barge when we got the 2010.

I selected "Other" since my 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 did not get 32 mpg or greater.

 

Sadly, I selected another Prius, as I failed to miss a semi who ran a red light.

 

1-My Persona replaced a 2014 Dodge Charger RT Plus.

2-My v (wife's car) replaced a 2014 Toyota Rav4.

 

I drove TDIs and replaced the last one with a Prius.

 

The Prius v replaced (for most purposes but the last few infrequently used seats and cubic feet) a Dodge Grand Caravan.

 

45 mpg is damn good for a regular Civic. More like Civic Hybrid territory.

 

my 2014 prius two replaced my 05 SRT-4. reason I changed was because I had a new baby and needed to save money on gas and needed something more safe.

My first Prius replaced a 10 year old Honda Civic that was running great and getting 40 MPG.
Naive, I didn't expect to ever buy a car. But after Medical School I took a job too far away for public transport and bought my first car when I was 29 years old.

Nowadays I can appreciate great engineering, but I still look forward to every day that the car stays parked.

 

I used to point and laugh at hybrid drivers for driving their ugly cars with no power. I was getting the same fuel economy as them. Now I realized without plugging in, I get 66 mpg and with plugging in up to 100 mpg according to the read out anyway. Now I point and laugh at fools idling away cash in non carpool lanes.

 

My gen 3 Prius liftback replaced a Mopar minivan. I thought we would miss the cargo room of the van. It has not been the case so far, I did not realize how much room a hatchback with folding rear seats has. Recently hauled a large 4 drawer dresser and 4 bags of groceries with no problems making it all fit. Mini van 25 mpg, Prius 50+ mpg.

 

My 2010 Prius replaced a 1986 Honda Accord Hatchback, which was still very efficient even by then-2009 non-hybrid standards, but was obsolete for safety reasons.

That Accord reappeared in my neighborhood a couple years later, just six blocks away. Last I talked to its owner, about two months ago, it was still running reasonably well and was close to rolling over 300k miles.

That Prius also displaced about 50% of the use of a '97 Subaru wagon.
