Yeah... I have no problem traveling at 80 mph if I want to... I usually am content to drive 56 because I can't drive 55...
It does get up to 70 - but the torque doesn't hold up the speed - it might register 70 on the speedometer - it's probably in my head - but it's just not the same - with the 70 I registered on my prius 2 today... It's all uphill...ask anybody from LA - 10 east up the Kellogg to Cal Poly or up the 57 north on the tonner canyon... If you are ever in Los Angeles, pm me - and will drive up that way. Thank you for the comments .... But the bottom line is I still am in a prius, a prius 2.
Yea, I drove to both I10 and 57 North often before when I live over there and it is quite demanding as the car drop in speed going up the hill and everyone is flooring their gas pedal. I really need to try to drive that in a prius or go up to the canyon when driving to Vegas...
Not always. It depends on what he owes. How much he can get the new car for. Rebates and financing rates. They've been offering ZERO interest rates and $500 in rebates. If he's paying interest, a zero loan will off-set it enough to benefit from a purchase. Someone else on PC was in the same boat and came out saving money. It's not always as cut and dry as you might think
I traded in my Chevy Cruze for a loss... quite a loss, more than I care to mention. However, in order to get anywhere near the 30 combined mpgs I needed to use at least 91 oct fuel, in my area that is about $.30 a gallon. Between saving about $70 a month in fuel, having 0% financing versus about 5%, and owning the prius in 60 months versus the about 67 months I had left on my Cruze. It was worth losing my behind on the trade.
