I have been interested in getting a Prius, but the dealers in Dallas couldn't give me any info. on how they performed in the mountains. How does your car perform on steep grades? I drove my standard Ford Contour a couple of years ago to Aspen and felt like I was really pushing it to go 55. Other cars (SUV's) were passing us like we were standing still. I didn't like the feeling that I couldn't get out of the way if I needed to.
Here's some discussion on it - http://www.priuschat.com/forums/viewtopic....highlight=aspen Hopefully that will help - feel free to ask those guys in that thread about their experiences. Welcome to PriusChat!
Let's hope! I just ordered mine from Burt Toyota in Littleton, CO, and I was told 4-6 months. Oh well... more time to save for a down payment, i guess!
