Nark Forums Junkie Location: Cabramatta, NSW Registered: May 2002	Re: Drove the Prius! Tue, 31 August 2004 23:57 Just to clear up some confusion. Corona RT142 wrote on Wed, 01 September 2004 09:29 the echo uses around 5-6lper100km in the city versus about 4.5l per 100km. The Prius uses 3.5L/100km in the City cycle. Even if it ran only the petrol engine, it'd still be more fuel efficient. The engine is built to have as little resistance as possible amongst its moving parts, it's tuned to use little petrol, has funky stuff like DFI. The car has a 0.26Cd, has aero under the car to reduce drag, has low resistance tyres. Corona RT142 wrote on Wed, 01 September 2004 09:29 The prius is a slow piece of shit. It's faster than the Echo that you're comparing it to... Not that anyone who buys one of these cars cares how fast it is. It will overtake just as well as that TDi, and that's all that really matters. I think people need to get a few things out of their heads: 1) You don't buy a Prius to save money 2) The first gen and second gen cars are VERY different. We car talking about the second gen car here. Now, here's an exercise for you. Forgetting about the two engines and the cool CVT that combines the flawlessly, tell me which other car (and how much it costs) gives you: Voice activated GPS Bluetooth carphone system Proximity-controlled entry & start Steer-by-wire [Report message to a moderator]
