[Dreeza]

Hey, my dad just got home with the 2004 prius, its pretty cool


there all these gadgets and s*** in it, lol
theres no key either, you just walk up w/a sensor thing that u keep in ur pocket and it unlocks, then u press a button to start the car, its soo weird


anyways, just thought id share

 

[Dreeza]

lol, guess no one cares but me

i just like all the cool s*** inside the car, its so weird looking, ill have to drive it and see how that is, i hope its better than the old prius cuz i didnt like driving that car much

 

[changedman]

hell no...at least not the old one, i think the new one is slower, the fastest i ever got in the 2001 was like 85 and i got scared, the steering wheel like turns if u accidently breathe too hard

ill get pics when its nicer outside!

Well i'm not exactly sure how the hybrids work, but the pure electrics have insane acceleration. If the electric kicks in early, then it should be able to beat most cars off the line.

Toytoa Prius
Torque
295 lb.-ft. @ 0-1,200 rpm

im not sure either, but the thing is, u cant control whether its electric or not, so when u floor it, its not using the electric part

I actually just read the full review of that car in the November issue of Road and Track.......60mpg!!! Wow.....what's weird is they say it gets better mileage in the city than on the highway cuz on the highway the engine has to run consistently. I like the little thumb switch that changes gears.

i couldnt really get a feel for it since my dad was with me and started FLIPPING out at me when i was going 70 in a 55mph zone...i was like ok...im going with traffic!

damn, too bad i drive that way every sunday to go to work and i am usually going 90 there...WHOOPS, lol


anyways, its weird and i wanted to smack the ****** GPS...the damn thing kept talking...

wait a sec. streetpreacher now where did you get that the toyota prius has 295 ft. lbs. of torque? edmunds.com lists the 2004 prius at a mere 82 ft-lbs. @ 4200 rpm and 0-60 mph at 12 + sec.
