I would reconsider your options. 55mpg isn’t really all that great w/ aprice tag of $26K. Why pay to be a test dummy for toyota. F -that. Get a honda fit, prob 10K less and comparable gas mileage.

Micro Tuners FTW! 🙂

in order to bury $7500-8000 of negative equity, i need to spend $25000 or more on a new car. In order to make as much of that money back, I need to get better mpg. Hence Prius.

Once my loan payoff equals the trade-in value, I start looking again.

Buy a new Jetta TDI. There are people getting 60+ mpg and making their own biodiesel to do it.

> They suggest that Toyota engineers are concerned that if the traction control is turned off or modified, the hybrid system will produce so much torque in the Prius that wheel spin would lead quickly to broken axles and even wheels coming off.

> The Toyota statement that the Prius traction control system is “working as it was designed” has left more than one Prius owner feeling that the system is operating as designed to “protect the safety of the car not the safety of the driver or passengers.”

sounds about right…

VW no longer sells diesels in the US.

And I backed out of the Prius at the very last second… Financing that much would jeopardize my ability to buy my house, and house \> car. I’m lucky to have gotten my hand money back.
