Traded in the Prius
So, after a year and 17k miles, I traded in the Prius. Why am I posting this exciting news? Because I'm hoping to save someone a bit of money in this world of high gasoline prices.
The Prius, when driven grandpa style, is a monster of a car averaging 45MPG. To achieve it, you're going to get passed by 3 wheeled Yugos.
If you drive the car like a normal person, 35 to 40 MPG and that's where the whole thing doesn't add up. The amenities are equivalent to a $15k car, it's loud, uncomfortable and just crappy. I tried to lie to myself and others, it just isn't that good.
I bought another little car, an A3 and it feels like a Bentley in comparison.
That's all folks, back to your regular routine.
