2002 Toyota Prius - Really great on fuel

One of the things that I liked the most about my vehicle was that it usually can get me about 40 miles per gallon fuel economy. I can fill up the tank with gas for about 20 dollars, on average, and drive the whole week long before running out. It is also a very compact car so it's really easy to park in just about any parking space. It would be nicer to have a bigger trunk so I could transport more belongings, but it works very well for groceries and other things, even for having a smaller trunk area. My Toyota Prius really handles the road well. I have really not had many issues with it since purchasing. It could be a little bit fancier as far as its included features, but for the price I paid for it, I didn't really pay for any expensive features. I drive this car every day and have ... (more)

Story

Honestly, is just been really fun to have this car in general. It's a little bit small for a guy my size to be driving but its just right. My friends liked to poke fun at me for driving it in the beginning, until they heard how long my fuel lasts me, and then they all wanted one.

Pros

Cons

It doesn't have a lot of trunk space, and it isn't loaded with features like some newer more expensive cars.

2002 Toyota Prius - A trustworthy workhorse.

My Toyota Prius was a wonderful car. It looked like one of those things that was how people in the 60s envisioned the future to look. Like, retro-futuristic. Digital readouts, beeps and boops, screens that showed antiquated diagrams of how the engine was working.

Story

The car had lost all it's identifying logos (so it looked like a weird spaceship I built at home), and it had a very unique "South of the Border" bumper sticker and bike rack, so occasionally, when I'd be out grocery shopping or something, I'd run into friends who weren't even there to shop, they'd just say: "I saw your car in the parking lot, so I decided to come in and see if I could find you."

Pros

It was the best on gas mileage I've ever seen (I had to fill it up maybe once a week). It was a sedan, so I could drive friends or move my belongings quite easily. The fact that it was used was great, I bought it cash from my grandmother. She was family, so she didn't gouge me on the price and allowed me monthly payments that were easy to afford.

Cons

The cons were the check engine light kept going on. At first I was told it was just a seal. They'd replace it and the light would go off, but, sure enough, after a couple days of driving it again, it would come back on. Then the mechanic told me it was the catalytic converter, so the check engine light was never going to go off (unless I dropped more money than the car was worth for a converter), so it would never pass inspection.
