no, i hear ya man, i dont own a Prius, nor do I want one. I just figured, I know a ton about the vehicle so I could share some info with people who are just making stuff up. I agree with whoever posted about having a 2-3k car as a daily and then something sick as a fun car. I cant have the now being married with kids and shit but if I had it my way I would do it that way lol. I bought My Matrix Brand New, and my XB Brand new, I cant really complain because I have had 0 issues over the last 6years, but car payments do suck, especially for something you just beat on everyday.
