Re: Re: Prius Review (Reply to this comment)
by hyundai_fan
There is a lot of controversey with the high price for a hybrid car and the money you save out of driving one. Bottom line: You won't. The reason why Toyota is making these is because they want to see if people are willing enough to help the environment, not their wallet. You have to admit that a hybrid car is exciting to see, in magazines or in real life. It's different, and any way of improving your gas mileage and helping the environment at the same time is a winner in my book.
It's really hard to believe someone would be underwhelmed about a hybrid car. I'd be having a natural high just getting my kicks out of a CVT transmission (like the Prius has), let alone a car that runs on electricity and gas!

Nice review and very accurate as to the abilities and slack of the vehicle. I've been driving one for 9 mos now and agree with all points. It does depend where your brain is as to whether you will buy this car. I believe 'we' have to start somewhere and sometime, and those few who chose to will have to bite the bullet for the sake of the future education of all those stuck in their materialistic bubbles, not ready to make a statement of sacrifice for the future, if we manage to still have one. It's just a choice, go ahead and make it.

Personal experience (Reply to this comment)

Like tch7, I like to see the first-person used in reviews. We want you to give us your biases, as it is your opinion that makes your review interesting to readers.
I normally give reviews without a clear first-person statement of product use "Not Helpful" ratings. However, I think you have used the car; it's just that you have obscured your opinions through the use of the second-person.
The fix is easy: Make an unequivocal statement somewhere in the review that explains how you came to drive this car. That will remove all doubt and let readers know the extent of your experience with the Prius.
If you update this review with such a statement, please let me know by e-mail with the link (URL) and I will re-rate.

I drove the car out of interest for alternate commuting solutions (I own a Smart City Coupe which is somehow inappropriate for anything beyond urban driving) and interest for the technology. The review does reflect my opinion, but presented with some consideration to objectivity.

I apologize, did not know this what usaepinions.com, and was under the assumption that metric units would be that complex to understand.
MSRP is accurate per current exchange rates.

I'm confused (Reply to this comment)
by mkaresh,  in Cars & Motorsports
The content in this review is good, but the presentation worries me. First, the writing is quite rough, with little in the way of structure. The $30,000 price further suggests sloppiness, as even the nav doesn't boost the MSRP this high. (I noticed a similarly high price on your S4 review. European prices translated to dollars, maybe?) Second, the mix of metric and English measurements confuse me. Do you see your audience, and the context for this review, as European or American? I can tell you that few Americans have a clue what an A-Class is.

Hello (Reply to this comment)
by tch7
I gave you a VH, but I must say I'm not very comfortable with that rating.
A lot of what you say is more along the lines of "this is what you will think" when I much rather see "this is what I think". I'd just like to see some information as to why you drove the Prius, as I want to know where your opinion is coming from.
