Toyota Prius Usados en Venta en Hillsborough, NC

I have to admit that before my husband and I purchased our 2012 Toyota Prius, we were skeptical. We had heard numerous jokes about them and thought they were sissy cars. But we completely changed our minds when we went out of town for a date and borrowed my parent’s Prius for the drive. What a great car and fun to drive! So we bought our own when our other car bit the dust. One of the biggest things that we were really surprised about is how much power it has. Being a hybrid car, we didn’t think there would be much power, but there is. We always drive it in eco mode, which isn’t the most powerful option, but it still has a great deal of get up and go. The interior is fantastic, too. We have 3 kids, and have put this car through numerous long-distance road trips and the interior is still in fantastic shape. The seats are very comfortable, and the center console is in the perfect place for me to rest my elbow when I’m driving. Another great thing is that the front driver’s seat is very roomy. My husband is 7 inches taller than me, but we can both drive the car without having to adjust the seat or mirrors at all, which is very convenient when we are switching cars frequently. I really love the digital display, too. I have found that it is really great when I can hear a song on the radio that I love and just look at the display to see what it’s called and who sings it. This is definitely a feature that I wish I could have in our other car. It gets great gas mileage, we average over 40 mpg, and the tank isn’t even very big. We fill it up completely for $25 or less and can go over 400 miles. We plan on keeping this car until it dies, and will probably get another one after that.

Although the Prius tends to get a bad rap, it is quite a fun, comfortable car. There is a surprising amount of leg room in the car, and the hatchback allows for more hauling capacity than one would think. Also, my Prius can has over 220,000 miles on it, and it is still going strong. Other than normal maintenance on the vehicle, I have not had to put in any money for major repairs. Another great thing about the Prius is its gas mileage. It uses both battery (not the kind you have to plug in) as well as gas and gets great highway as well as city mileage. I have been extremely pleased with my car.
