The Prius is a great car. It's got all the comforts of modern luxury cars - particularly with the option to include a built-in navigation system - without the cost OR damage to the environment. My favorite things about the Prius include: super quiet operation, very comfortable to sit in and drive, hands free keyless entry system, and only having to get gas every 2 weeks or so. However, ther...

In 2003 when we came back to the States so that I could be near my family during my fight with my chronic disease, my brother had a Dodge Neon. The car was almost new. It had been in a crash (back end was smashed), but only had 5,000 miles on the odometer.Since I needed to go to a military base near SF for medical treatment. My brother basically gave us the car for repairs. (My brother worked a...

I bought a Chevy Cobalt last year when I needed a new car. It is a 2006, four door, light purple. The exterior is very nice, but as I was low on funds, I went for the least expensive, hence least equipped, model. Yet it is still a pretty car. The interior is light tan, which isn't the best color when you have two young kids, but still an attractive one. Gas mileage is decent, although with ...

I have owned three other scooters before this one, but my Kymco 200cc People S is the best by far!  It handles just as easily as a 50cc scooter, but with its 200cc engine can reach speeds of up to 65mph, depending on the weight of the rider, making it perfect for in town or highway trips.  The compartment under the seat is roomy enough to fit a helmet, goggles and a poncho or scooter ...

If you want a good deal on a 2008 Prius - in any color - you should wait until the big lot sales next year. The line is being redesigned, and dealers will be eager to get these babies (whichever ones are remaining) out of the way. The Prius wasn't the first mainstream hybrid car, but it quickly became the most popular. It's sleek design, even back in 2000, made drivers take notice. The ...

My brother lives in Alexandria, Virginia.  He works and plays throughout the District.  A couple years ago, he purchased the Toyota Prius.  He was thrilled when he received a tax incentive to do so but he was even more surprised at how quickly he fell in love with the car!  I have only ridden in it a couple of times but the back seat is surpisingly comfortable and roomy for ...

I have owned my Toyota Solara for about a year now and I absolutely love it. This vehicle has a 2.2 Liter I4 that gets up and goes. I usually get about 28 mpg on the highway. I really feel safe in this vehicle, which is surprising to me because its a two door vehicle. My last vehicle was a two door Ford that made me feel like if I was to get in an accident with it, it would smash like a tin can...

My husband and I owned two cars in 2007, a Chrysler 300m and a Dodge Durango. With gas prices soaring and both of us having a 20 mile commute to work, we decided to retire the Dodge Durango and purchase a car that had better gas mileage. I had wanted a hybrid car as CO2 emissions and the US dependence on foreign oil supplies had been weighing on my mind. i really did not want a small car like t...

I just recently decided to buy a new vehicle due to the gas prices steadily rising.  I wanted to purchase a Toyota Prius Hybrid.  I done all my research.  I was ready and excited to get a Prius.  Little did I know they are few and far between in Texas.  There are hundreds of people on the waiting list for them.  I went to the Toyota dealership looking for a prius.&...

When gas prices started really going up, we decided to get rid of one of our gas guzzlers and get a car with better gas mileage. We wanted something with some cargo space and fairly good seating, yet was still inexpensive. We settled on the Jeep Patriot.Overall, the Patriot is a comfortable car to drive. It's not luxurious, especially since we chose a pretty base model. However, it's st...

The Piaggio MP3 scooter has two wheels in front and one in back. There are three sizes (250cc ,400cc and 500cc).   The two front wheel adjust to let you lean into curves.   My friend has the 400 and really likes it.This is obviously much larger and heavier that a typical scooter (such as a two wheel Vespa).   One of the interesting features is that the two front wh...

I drive a 2002 Ford Escape and I absolutely love it. I wish I had a hybrid or at least a newer model but this one was affordable. It's been in 2 accidents and has never been fixed but has never broken down on me. I couldn't afford to get it's oil changed for awhile and when I took it in it actually had no oil in it! I felt really bad but also amazed that my car was still running.&nb...

  I have mostly driven a Toyota 4X4 truck.  From 4-cylinder to 6-cylinder, long bed to short, it was the most reliable, economical and versatile vehicle for the snowy mountain region I call home.  But that doesn't mean I haven't had others.  From Cadillacs to full sized trucks, from TR-7's to Lexus Coupes, I've owned a lot of vehicles.  There were a coup...
