In my experience you are correct. I'm part of a Corvette/Camaro racing club and most of them thought I was nuts for selling the C5 to get a Prius. Now 3 others are thinking about buying a Prius and 1 already did. They kept their Vettes though. lol

I'm 32 so I don't fit your post but I wanted to agree with you to an extent. There a re a lot of students who love my Prius but cannot afford it. Once they create a hybrid in the $15k msrp range more young people will be buying them I guarantee.

 

It's my first post ... one that compelled me to write in!
I'm 22 and this is my first car to buy. (my husband is 28 though so he doesn't qualify)
We are selling our 2002 Blazer for the Prius. Got 55 mpg on the last tank -- the tank was spent on a 54 mile roundtrip commute each day of which 50 miles were highway. Not to shabby when work reimburses me $.45 per mile


Thanks for the forum . . . we're learning a lot!

 

I am 22, I dont own a prius though but a HCHII. Dont know if that counts

 

I got my 2006 last January when I was 24 and am now 25. I have always had a truck or suv and could not stand my 10mpg I was getting in my Yukon. I love my Prius and the technology and the gas milage. I was up in asheville, nc this past weekend for a buddies wedding and in case you dont know this since most everyone on here is on the west coast, Asheville is full of hippie, organic, ecofriendly people. My fiance and I go up there every chance we get cause the mountains are beautiful...anyways im getting to my point now....we always see a lot of Prii up there so on saturday we decided to count them all. and all around this tiny mountain town in NC with a pop of about 125000 from 10am-7pm we couldnt 17 Prius's. With all kinds of drivers, but I did notice most were older and women. then the next day we drove up the blue ridge parkway to boone and counted another 10!! I thought it was awesome that more people are seeing that they need to make a change.

 

Male, and I just turned 21 on April 26th!!! Happy Birthday to me!!!!

I bought my 07 Touring in February, and have loved every mile. can't wait to add the 09 Prius to my own little Hybrid Armada! :lol:

 

I'm 25, bought my in December when I was 24. My girlfriend is 22 and taking delivery of hers on Wednesday.

 

All right, I'm officially the youngest person here to own a Prius, so far. Got the '02 Prius last year when I was 19, turned 20 just a couple months back in March. Got it used, but at $15.5k with less than 30,000 miles on it, it was basically a no brainer.

 

I was 25 when I bought my Prius back in '05 if that means anything.

 

Aww, I just missed your cutoff--I'm 26.

I still have my old 4-wheelin' rig, but I figured if I'm going to drive on the street, I want to drive something with the least impact possible. I sold my '91 Integra 2-door for it. The Pri doesn't corner quite as well, but it's much nicer in every other department. I don't regret it at all!

I definately shouldn't be able to afford one, but I got a package #1 and am doing the 24month 0%. I just won't eat as much for the next two years!!

eating is overrated anyways. Enjoy your prius

 

I bought mine about a year ago. I am 26 now, but I was 25 at the time. I love it, and many of my friends that I never thought would want a Prius are considering one now. Though, if toyota (or anyone else) were to build a hybrid p/u I know a lot of people who would be interested.

 

24 here. Bought the car in 2005 when I got my first job out of college. Still madly in love with it!

 

26 here (close enough)

I'm not sure the "above average education background" is really relevant...a good education is no proxy for good common sense ...

 

I'm 24 now... I got my Prius when i was 23... so yeah...

I used to be 25 does that count? I look 24 does that count?

 

I'm 24 and I bought my Prius when I was 22. I'm sure that most new cars tend to have older owners just because of the income level required to afford them, especially so with the Prius since it is relatively high-priced for a new sedan (compared to Yaris, Civic, Corolla, Focus, etc). I have several friends that would love to have a Prius but just finishing graduate school doesn't exactly put them in the financial situation to go out and buy one
