Incredible gas mileage (48-51 mpg) with plug in electric assist! TROUBLE-FREE CAR. We've had two Plug in Prius' and have had zero problems with both. We just put in gas and change the oil. That's it for a total of six years. How can you beat that for a gentle car price?
Toyota did a terrible job marketing this great car. Drives the same as a regular Prius, but if you choose to plug it in, you get extra MPG during standard driving. I commute 4 miles to my workplace, and in warm weather I could literally get there and back on electrical only. It will drive 11-13 miles on electric only, if you don't put the gas pedal down hard. I plug it into my standard garage electric outlet (3 hours to charge), but could cut that time in half if I upgraded my outlet to 220. Winter driving cuts MPG because the car needs a warm engine to generate heat for the heater...and seat warmers will cut MPG a little too. In warm weather, with plugging the car in, I'm averaging 61MPG. Heater, seat warmers bring it down to 40MPG.
Great mileage, easy to drive, and carpool stickers
