I used to jump in my wife's Honda Accord and use it on personal road trips. That thing could cross the whole state of Texas on a tank of gas!!!

I didn't plan on a Prius but it worked out that way. Its not as slow as many think and is speed limited to 100mph....I get the stereo type though. Most Prius drivers are tree hugging wanna be hippies. As for safety I am not sure why people think they are unsafe. Like I said it serves a purpose and I couldn't care less if somebody dings the crap out of it at Sams or wally world.

Safety rating is 5 star driver
4 star passenger

Safety

Euro NCAP test results Toyota Prius (2004)[51] Test Score Rating Adult occupant: 34

Child occupant: 43

Pedestrian: 13

U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash testing of the 2004 US model year Prius yielded a five-star driver and four-star passenger rating in the frontal-collision test (out of five stars). Side crash results were four out of five stars for both front and rear seats. The car scored four out of five stars in rollover testing.[52]
U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests scored the Prius Good overall in frontal collisions and Good overall in side-impact collisions in models equipped with side airbags.[53] A Poor score was given to models without side airbags.[54] Side curtain and torso airbags became standard on 2007 American models.

Hah. I had a ZL1 and a first gen Honda Insight.

60+ MPG for a DD and 580 hp for the weekend. And the Insight was actually a pretty impressive car for what it was. 600 miles on 9 gallons (when it was ~$3.75 a gallon) of gas FTW.

Unfortunately I later bought a house and sold both of them for a versa... :/

Oh well. Sixth gen comes out soon enough.

I know I'm late to respond here, but I had to. That is the most awesome white Camaro I have ever seen. In fact, it is one of the prettiest Camaros I've seen yet. Very tasteful. And I love the side stripes. I did the same thing to my DD (Volt).
