Toyota Prius Usados en Venta en Saint Paul, MN

Yes, it is synonymous with the hybrid vehicle technology that is now more mainstream than it was a decade ago. Many people suspect that the Prius is a under-powered, hippy-dippy, frugal-mobile car for environmentalists. I can tell you that is a completely wrong assessment. Although you will not win any 0-60 competitions or break the land speed record, you will enjoy a lot of pick-up and responsive handling at any speed. I've driven this on gravel roads and glare ice conditions and it recovers from slips and spins as good as or better than my old muscle car. It surprised me! And, of course, there is the gas mileage thing. If I recall, the 2010's were supposed to get 45-48 mpg on open road. My Prius easily does that and still does years later. I had a long commute to work through up-and-down curvy country roads and it normally got 45-50 mpg! This was a significant savings to my gasoline expenses. I would recommend this car as a good utility vehicle for commuting to work, getting groceries, taking the kids to school or friends places, taking relatives or neighbors around on errands, etc.

I now have about 110,000 miles on this car and have never had any problems with it. My overall gas mileage averages 43 mpg. This mpg includes a lot of in town hills. On the highway I average 55 mpg. This gas mileage is important to me as it means I am having less impact on the environment as well as saving money on gasoline. The vehicle is very easy to handle in all weather conditions, including the snow we get here in Minnesota. It holds the road very well and has plenty of acceleration when needed. The ride is quite comfortable considering the small size of the vehicle. I currently use snow tires year round which makes for a little more road noise in the summer but it is not that objectionable.
