    On vacation and we got a mid size car. All we need and cheap. They gave us a Prius! I hate this car. I can’t even tell when it’s started or running, terrible sight lines and mirrors, it doesn’t even feel like a real car. It just floats and can barely feel the wheels on the ground. Feel like I’m going to get smoked by every other car and it will crinkle like nothing. Rant over haha. Do these things even need gas I have no idea

    So far just the wire harness to connect the tailgate to the power locks and the bed step.
    Electric vehicles will beat almost anything off the line so if you go from a dig prepare to be surprised. All of the super-cars include some sort of hybrid performance vehicle in their line-up.

    I wouldn’t call them drivers cars but for an appliance they sure are good at what they do.

    You don’t need to know if it’s running. Just press the throttle and let it do its thing. It’s not a tundra. It is what it is. We have three hybrids and love em. We don’t have a Prius though. So I’m not defending them! Haha

    They honestly aren't too bad, at least the new ones. The Prius Prime is over 200 hp at this point. Some youtubers did a comparison race between it, a wrx, and a mazda 3 and it was much closer than you'd expect.

    We drive from Utah to East Tennessee to visit family this year and on the way I ran into a new Prius in the middle of Kansas. I wish I had taken a picture, but overall it looked pretty nice. I don't see why someone would opt for one over a Model 3 at this point, however.
