I'm a 34 year old guy. I have a 2008 Prius and a 1998 3/4 ton diesel truck. They both have their place and I love them both. The prius is very economical and gets nearly 50 miles a gallon. I bought the car a few years ago for $4500 with 190,000 miles. It has 235,000mi on it now. It's paid for itself in fuel savings. A couple other family members also bought a 2nd gen prius after me and they have all been great cars. I can do just about all the work on them without too much trouble. I think the tesla drivers are worse than prius drivers nowadays. Also I think a lot of people that drive the older prius' drive them because they are so economical, not to save the planet
The Prius is just another economical commuter Toyota that does its job very well. I think they attract buyers who view vehicles as appliances, and view driving as an unfortunate chore that occurs between what they would rather be doing. I try to avoid them on the road because it seems like there is a higher than typical likelihood that the driver will be overly timid or inattentive on the road, which creates problems for everyone around them.
@@revivalofz7200 I think you're describing most drivers on the road. While the Prius may be a better predictor of inattention versus a Mustang, most vehicles are treated as appliances. Thanks for watching!
