I believe the size of the aftermarket support for our cars kind of dictates that people want to mod it. I mean honestly good luck finding a bone stock twin in 5 years.

To be honest, I would rather have a base model Prius, if I had to have one. Who wants to draw extra attention to the fact that you are driving a vagina on wheels?

. Your belief is noted.

I recommend starting a thread about cars that 'aren't worth modding' in the 'other automotive discussion' section rather than pissing on some guys build thread where pretty much nobody is going to see it.

Its all good Greg. I'm truly not bothered by anything u have to say. I like to have fun with every car I own and know a prius isn't exactly the first choice of a car to mod or a car to have if one thinks ones car defines your man hood or self image such as your self. I don't take it too serious is why I straight up.say from the start.. .come laugh my car.

A Prius is actually good at what it does. It's a quiet, soft ride, with excellent visibility and a legit 50+ mpg. Solidly reliable too.
Granted, it's got a tired old hamster under the hood, and the suspension is made entirely of rubber bands and empty Coors cans, but there is a time and place for a quiet transportation appliance. The FRS is all "LET"S GO DRIFTING BOI! YOLO!!!" and sometimes I want the "Hey, rough day? I'll get ya home" of the Prius.

Excellent visibility? Visibility out the rear window with that joke of a spoiler blocking the window is terrible.

I gotta disagree here. I've never driven the long way home when I drive my Impala to work. However, I find myself taking the back roads quite a bit when I'm in the BRZ. It makes daily driving a blast, but I understand that's not for everyone. Some people don't have souls, lol.

None of my comments were pointed directly at you, or meant to insult you. To each their own, man. But don't come to a GT86 forum with a Prius and expect not to get flamed. You don't see me posting my BRZ on a Ferrari forum...

Front and sides are excellent, mirrors are wide. Rear is better than most cars. The glass goes well below the thin spoiler, so yes, it's blocked by a strip, but a much lower viewing area.

Sure, but I didn't say it was a driver's car. I don't love borrowing it, and sometimes I won't even remember driving it. But, there's a time for that, just as there's a time for spirited scenic routes. Again, terrible car, excellent transportation appliance.
