Deer totalled my Scion xb rs1 a few weeks ago and I was looking for something to beat my 31mpg....my dad has a prius so we searched for the last few weeks and found one today! Its a 2010 Winter gray metallic. My list of mods immediately are: 17" dark wheels and tires. Dark windows Husky floormats and cargo mat. Neoprene seat covers. Later I want a roof rack and one of those bullet looking cargo carriers for trips. Tips on where to buy wheel/tire combo besides tirerack?
Just remember that 17"s will take a couple tics off mpg, while any external carrier will take a big bite out of it. As long as you are OK with that, that those mods are worth those lost mpg, then no problem. A Prius with a roof rack will still do far better than the old car with a roof rack.
Ya i figured i would lose a few for the 17's...but ive never had a "normal" car so i have to customize it as much as the boss lets me! Also, I was browsing the forum and seeing mpg loss for racks. I like the air dam add-on you can buy (yakima maybe?) And i wont use that bullet cargo carrier unless we take a trip
