Corona RT142 Forums Junkie Location: Campbelltown Registered: November 2003	Re: Drove the Prius! Tue, 31 August 2004 23:29 the echo uses around 5-6lper100km in the city versus about 4.5l per 100km. This hardly justifies spending an extra $20-$25 on the car. The prius is a slow piece of shit. Hybrids are gay and the future is fuel cells I say. The only worthwhile hybrids are those in the future lexuses. They make sense in high capacity vehicles ie 300kw V8 mated with 50kw electric motor. This acheives great fuel economy out of a large vehicle. When mated to smaller engines the gains are minimal and when these small engines are already as efficient why bother. For the money of the prius I would rather buy the VW tdi 2.0l turbo diesal. 103kw 320 nm of torque at 1900rpm. This engine uses 5L per 100km in city not sure. 0-100kmph in 8.5 secs much faster than prius and has usable space cos doesn't have batteries. It is only $34K and comes in either 6 spd manual or 6spd DSG. that is it a sequential gearbix with two clutches that preselects the next gear for you offering shift times of just .2 of a second [Report message to a moderator]
