What was your previous car?

I traded in my 2000 Red Corvette for my 2010 Blizzard Pearl Prius.

Sadly, my spouse decided to divorce me and I needed one good all around daily driver as I moved into a condo. The Corvette was a great high performance car (everyone should own one once in their life!) but I am enjoying my Prius and it's high fuel mileage and spacious interior (compared to my coupe).

 

Infiniti G37S, one of the best GT cars on the road today. Fast, comfortable, every creature comfort imagineable and a beautiful car to boot. Small trunk and so/so gas mileage.

 

I'm trading in my 2005 C6 Corvette when the 2012 Prius I ordered (or as "ordered" as you can do with Toyota's distribution system) arrives. May get another "fun" car when the lease on my current daily driver is up in 2012.

Lesson learned: buy the daily driver, lease the toy you won't put many miles on.

 

I traded in my Nissan 2010 370z 40th Anniversary for my 2011 Prius. I love the prius so much.

 

Bought my wife's 06 Prius from my brother gave me a great deal. She was driving a mini van. I was driving a focus when I found my 2010 Prius. With my focus I was getting 30 mpg now I get 47 to 55 mpg. We r very happy Prius owners!

 

My previous fuel efficient vehicle was a 2000 Volkswagen TDI Golf. (It's still in the family, my sister is enjoying the turbo rush.) The Prius is easier for me to enter/exit and it was time for an auto transmission.

 

I did not see this thread until now. I had posted my own topic two to three weeks ago about my totaled 2009 Prius. I now have a 2011 Prius Three (w/ nav). Just got it Monday! Here's the thread:

Prior car was a 99 Acura CL with 187,000 miles.

I really liked that car and miss the sunroof. I could have gotten more out of the car but I really wanted a reliable and fuel efficient car for my daily commute which takes me through highly congested areas of NJ and NYC.

 

2005 Prius II. My wife wanted a newer Prius and she is the principal driver.

 

2007 Nissan Pathfinder LE - MPG 15 City / 21 Hwy... Don't miss it at all

 

I traded a 2007 Tacoma. Great truck and I miss it but not enough to go back.

 

I had a 2003 Toyota Corolla that was a really great car, but can't really compare to my 2010 Prius.

 

I traded a 2008 Camry hybrid.I liked the hybrid experience and thought the Prius would be the best one available.

 

2001 Toyota Sienna van (the last in a line of several Toyota vans which transported my growing family). It got around 17 MPG. As I'm an Air Force Reservist, I'd sooner buy LESS
fuel from people who like to shoot at us.

 

mine was Honda civic loved that car i had some special flngs for that car, now my wife using that one as it it is not in a good condition to drive she often takes it out

 

my previous car was a 2005 Subaru Outback XT. Nice car, but too thirsty and costly to own for what was mainly a work commute car. My Prius is just such a sensible car for my 1-hour 16-mile work slog through traffic. Not to mention that it's still great for Home Depot trips!

 

2006 Dodge Hemi Charger R/T. Did some modifications to pump more out of it. Was in "showroom" condition when I traded it in. Reason for the Prius? I always joked that my Charger passed anything on the highway but a gas station. At an average of 13.6 MPG of plus gas, I waved at my typical gas stop on the highway in the Prius. =0)

 

2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L. Great van, but we needed better mileage.

 

2001 Camry Solara Convertible, still have it, don't drive it much, but can't bear to get rid of it yet. I'm the sole driver of both the Prius and the Solara, the wife refuses to drive anything but her Subaru:cheer2:

 

2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubi - bought when worked from home - great around town, fun, etc. But when commute turned to 60 miles round trip - the 17mpg and ride were the deciding factors. Got a 2011 Prius II - and coming from a heep the base model prius is plenty of luxury for me.
