A drop and wheels isn't exactly ten grand. Well, I suppose that depends on the wheels.

You missed the punch line. You're forgiven.

Prius C's are averaging over 50mpg:

As someone who has driven a Prius C recently, you are wrong. It feels about twice as slow.

Personally, I would never own this car (Prius) and a BRZ/FR-S. My other car has lots more storage and people moving capabilities and can actually tow something if I ever need to.

In general I don't mind the idea of driving a hybrid, and I thought my CR-Z was great. I just absolutely hate the dash layout on the Prius C.

No, I prefer the Honda hybrids like the Insight and the CRZ. Honda heavily underrates them for MPG and they come with a sport mode that is somewhat sporty. The "mild hybrid" IMA system doesn't post as high of numbers in the city but they get excellent MPG on the highway.

#2 who missed the punchline.

Yes yes yes... of course the Prius C is slower than the FRS.

That's the joke!!

Dadhawk · 08-19-2013, 09:13 PM

The FR-S is my Prius. I average over 30MPG nearly every tank. Of course, my "other" car is a 2004 Suburban Z71, the ultimate anti-Prius, so I'm not sure I'm a good judge.

Like @DarkSunrise said, my DD has to excite me. I spend an average of 2.5 hours a day in my car, it will not be boring. I had this discussion with folks at work the other day all talking about they have these boring "commuter cars" and then a more exciting weekend car. Where's the fun in that?

On second thought, I might own a Prius but only if I pulled out the politically correct drivetrain and stuffed a small block V8 in it. Then, I'd rebadge it to something like "Prius SST" and have a little stop light fun.

on the video he said 41. i wasn't going to research it. but i am sure some of those fuelly's are a misrepresentation. I am just saying I would rather drive a diesel vw and get less mpg than a prius. think of the group of people you are lumped in with.

I would rock a Noble as my DD if I had one. Cars are meant to be driven and drive I will do. If I need to haul my CBR600 or my 450R, I will rent a truck for $50.

Sorry, it is Monday.. Brain is a little slow...

I had an extra 150lb of weight luggage and on soft tires while travelling around Lake Tahoe , a Prius-c was up behind me and giving me HELL there

I lost him every corner, the BRZ has way more advantage in the cornering and downhill, --he kept coming back on the uphill because he had a lighter weight advantage.

I doubt it. Over 1500 cars and over 5 million miles.
I get 46 mpg combined in my parents' Prius while not exactly taking it easy...

Don't care what group of people I'm lumped in with, but from a driving enjoyment standpoint, I'd rather have the Vdub. But no one should be under any illusions that a golf or Passat diesel gets anything like the mileage of a Prius. In town it isn't even close.

One of my DDs is capable of 200mph

Lonewolf · 08-20-2013, 01:07 AM

I would end myself if I was forced to drive this...

Sasquachulator · 08-20-2013, 02:45 AM

i'd make it look like the yellow one (minus the LED lights obviously) and it'd make me feel better.
