I'm looking at purchasing a new car within the next year. I've had an increased interest in Hybrid cars given gas prices, among other reasons. I was just wanting to get some feedback from those who own these cars, as thus far the Prius is my 1st choice. My other interest for a non-hybrid car is the VW Jetta. Just to give an idea what I'm comparing it too. Anyway, here we go:
Driving and acceleration: What is the pickup/acceleration of the prius? I'll be giving up my pig-of-a-car Camaro Z28 for a new vehicle. I'm not looking for speed, just something that can get around comprable to your average 4-cylinder on the road today.
Also, how do these cars drive? Again, not looking for a BMW, just something thats nice to drive.
A/C: This might sound trivial, but hows the A/C in these cars? I live in Texas, it gets hot and crappy in the summer. I'm a wimp. I have no idea how the accessories work on these cars.
Aftermarket stereo: Again, trivial, but I'm just curious. How easy is it to install amps, subs, etc etc in the prius. I wasn't sure if the power systems effected this at all.
How they work: Is there any place on the web that you can point to me that might give a good overview on how hybrids work, specifically the Prius. I'm semi-knowledgable regarding normal ICE engines, I'd like to know more how these cars work as to understand them better.
If anyone is in the DFW area and has had good dealing with a particular dealership, please let me know.
Thats about it...for now, lol. Any general info you could offer would be great, or any objective websites with info.
Thanks for the help, I truely appreciate it!
ps, just a side note, does anyone know when the hybrid camry is set to come out?>
