What (if any) other cars did you consider before you bought your Prius?

B) Purchased my Prius on an eBay auction - therefore considered NO OTHER CAR. My mind was well made up prior to bidding on a slightly-used (4,000 miles) Prius originally owned by a Toyota employee.

I am still very well pleased with my purchase after almost two years and 20,000 miles - no problems - just SSCs and TSBs (exception of the "guess gauge" TSB - elected not to have the major disassembly/re-assembly done for very questionable gain in accuracy).

 

I considered a VW to run on biodiesel. After researching the environmental ramifications and practicality of b.d. and conventional fuel, I opted for the Prius. I am sooooo happy with my decision.

 

Didn't consider another car. I was waiting for A.) enough money to put down on a car and B.) a hybrid with a hatchback to come out that sat more than 2 people and could haul my boyfriend and I AND our groceries(unlike the insight). As soon as I learned about the 2nd generation Prius, I wanted one....then rented one....then realllllly wanted one badly....then waited to have the money to get one, which was pure torture. Never made a better choice in my life....except, that is, moving to California .
