Hi to everyone. For the first time in my life I am actually trying to do research prior to buying a car. I have been enthralled by the Prius for about 2+ years but not until today was I really inspired to get one. I have been reading many of the posts here (but have not had time to read all of them) and am now worried about many of the issues discussed here. I would appreciate your advice. Here is my "profile".
- I am a female (dumb when it comes to cars but I have a greater trust in the toyota salesguy cuz I've bought 3 cars from him) but re: anything technical and what to do about, I'm totally clueless
- I live in the Washington, DC area and commute on I-95 120 miles total a day. I, in essence, spend a great amount of my life in the car so comfort, good speed, excellent acceleration and highway MPG is VERY important to me. My weekly mileage just to/from work is 600 miles (if I did my math correctly). Over the past 5-6 years I have averaged 45,000 miles per year ( a concern when I read about the battery warranty and tires not lasting long)
- I am very interested in doing my part re: the environment but your posts have almost "scared" me away for now. I had actually thought the $20,000 was a "decent" price (my feminity showing I guess) but have not checked out any other options. I am amazed at the person who got such great mileage in his Honda delivering Pizza.....I think I got those facts correctly.
anyway, any advice you all might have would be most welcome. Feel free to email me privately too if you want. it's [email protected].
Thanks so much for your advice in advance....and I certainly hope it was ok for me to post this question. I also hope I didn't mess up any format. I'm not that great with codes and HTML either so I just left the defaults.
