Toyota Prius. Part III

3.. It is good value for the money.

Starting price over $26,000. This price includes a car that is neither luxury, sporty, nor a utility vehicle.

4.. Reliable?

Recent recalls from Toyota proves that even the best can make mistakes. Even the gods can bleed. The complicated 2 motor concept in the Prius, also, can be a problematic design. Most of the Prius on the road today are under warranty; but within a few year, every single one of them would fall into pieces, the batteries would start dying left and right and small petrol motor would not have the torque to tolerate the weight of the death electric engine and the rest of the car so the life-time of the petrol engine would decrease dramatically.
The multi train system would put too much pressure on the transmission as the engines start acting up and thus the owners would have to pay thousands of dollars on repairing the complicated transmission.

Is saving $200 on gas every year worth the price repair costs?
I am starting to see no point in owning a Prius.. As there is no benefit in owning a pet rock..

5.. Exquisite futuristic design?

yeah, no.

6.. Cute?

Owning Toyota Prius is as cute as having a son who is a professional cheerleader. You know he is being trendy and active. But still.. he is a cheerleader!
