Hi I live in canada and i've been seriously thinking of getting the 2005 prius. I know performance might have to be sacrificed for the awesome fuel consuption but i've heard otherwise for the prius. I heard its 0-60 in 9 secs? If so that isnt too shabby. And I am worried about possible higher maintinence with soo much new tech in the car. Im asuming service would cost more as well considering newly trained technitians for hybrids would be needed. Has anyone had problems with it? I'm kinda hesitent to buy high tech things when they first come out. I know toyota is a trustworthy name and all but this isnt familiar grounds their building on. I know hybrid technology isn't very new but toyota is intreducing alot of new things along with it. I've had alot of electic problems with cars, and with this amount of electronics it just scares me.
I know for a fact I want Toyota, either camry or prius (this is my first "new" car). I heard they perform about the same. And here in canada their priced about the same. I know i cant go wrong with camry. But this prius really catches my interest. I wanna try something new. I just dont know if i should follow my heart with prius or mind with camry. I would love an owners insite on this, thanks!
