Saving The Environment By Chronotrigga on - Updated Sep 18, 2011
I have used this car for more than 4 years. I bought it used because when buying it new, the demand was so great that there was a wait line, and the wait could take up to 4 months. Anyhow, whenever I got the Prius, I was surprised to find out how silent the engine ran. Whenever you start the car, you can barely hear it. I know the newer models are practically silent, but in the 2001 model (the first one), you can still hear the engine. The performance on the car is great. It acts well with your feet and your actions, and it also has great gas mileage. Considering gas is so expensive these days, driving the hybrid is definently a plus for me. And moreover, I am saving the environment too because it is a hybrid and releases less pollution. I would recommend this to anyone that is willing to give the Hybrid Prius a shot.

This sounds like a great car. Thanks for sharing.
In Hawaii, people were going on Prius sprees. The cost of gas is so high that many people were trading in their other vehicles for the Prius.
These were great inventions. I believe in saving the Earth very much. I didn't go hybrid but not because I didn't want to.
yes helping the environment is a huge plus.
