The only vurrent practical answer - 2004 Toyota Prius
By Len Budzen - July 24 - 2:00 amWhile so many millions are spent on fuel cell developement, production is still many years away -- if at all! In the meantime our dependence on foreign oil and the polution problem continues. Toyota is to be commended for their progressive thinking and activities aimed at resolving this serious situation. The big three have their heads buried in the sand!!!

Where is the gas?and the mileage? - 2004 Toyota Prius
By TJ mellow - July 18 - 2:00 amThere also is a major problem or design flaw with the gas tank/or bladder.Apparently there is some kind of a flexible bladder that the gas goes into that expands and contracts.When the gas gauge registers empty and you fill the tank with gas you can only put 6 to 8 gallons of gas into the tank as there supposedly is still 3 to 4 gallons of gas still in the tank even though it was registering on empty.The Prius is supposed to hold 11.9 gal.of gas.Since you cannot trust the gas gauge I must fill the tank whenever it says empty.Mileage between fillups varies from a low of 270 to 390.

This car has some answers! - 2004 Toyota Prius
By Stoady - July 18 - 2:00 amThis car exceeds all my expectations based on thorough research before buying. It is comfortable, the most fun of any car to drive Ive ever owned (including 4 sports cars), and delivers on its promise to be friendly to our planet. The feedback via the center console screen has truly taught me a different, more responsible way to drive, and after 2500 miles, Im still learning. This ones a keeper!

2004 Toyota Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius
By john64dog - July 18 - 2:00 amSo far, I find the Prius to be the best all round vehicle I have owned to date. Quality of workman ship is excellent, and have had no problems in the first 3,400 miles. Fuel economy has been in the 50 mpg range and is achieved with no special driving technique. Great car!

Better than my BMW - 2004 Toyota Prius
By Diane Quinn - July 13 - 11:46 pmHaving lived in Los Angeles for 10 years before heading to NYC, I was familiar with the Prius before many people out on the east coast. I got one of the first 2004 models in New England in 2003 and I was actually surprised by the power, handling and roominess of this car. I bought it to do my part for the environment and I was fully prepared to make sacrifices in those areas. I never had too. The technology was bleeding edge as well with voice commands and BlueTooth (only car that had it at the time). I owned a Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover, Porsche and Jaguar in the decade before I bought this and this is my favorite out of all of them.
