MSRP: $21,000 - $27,270 | MPG: 48 Hwy, 51 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2010 Toyota Prius gets great mileage, even for my mountainous driving, and it looks great, too. It has all of the little luxuries that most hybrids eschew as too heavy, and it can actually drive up a serious hill. You have no idea how much that means to me.
2009 Honda Civic Hybrid - 4/16/09
MSRP: $23,650 - $23,650 | MPG: 45 Hwy, 40 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The Civic Hybrid sounds like a great idea, but the pricey reality just falls flat.
2009 Saturn Vue Hybrid - 2/24/09
MSRP: $28,160 - $28,160 | MPG: 32 Hwy, 25 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Did you know there are two versions of the Saturn Vue Hybrid? The test car I drove was the Vue mild hybrid (although you wouldn’t know that from the not-so-mild stickers plastered all over it).
2008 Toyota Prius Touring - 10/03/08
MSRP: $21,500 - $23,770 | MPG: 45 Hwy, 48 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Whatever your political or environmental leanings may be, the Prius is fun to drive, and if you write off the Prius due to any affiliations you have, you’re missing out.
You know how on TV the future is all shiny and bright? Everything is white and silver and clean, and everything is powered by some mysterious force that makes virtually no noise, yet creates boundless energy? Well, folks, apparently the future is here.
I’m a sucker for fuel-efficient, moderately-sized-yet-totally-spacious, attractive-looking cars. The 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid delivers on all fronts. That’s a good thing, because with high gas prices, a budget to stick to, a family, and lots of accessories, I need all the vehicular help I can get.
I used to think of hybrid vehicles in a “Jetsons” sort of way. By now, my hybrid IQ has grown so much I can tell you why the Chevy Malibu Hybrid isn’t exactly what most people think of when they imagine a hybrid car.
I have the Best. Job. Ever. Today my work schedule included the following: Drive Ford Escape Hybrid and Ford Escape V-6, have lunch on the beach, head over to the “American Idol” finals with Ford. Man, I’m tired.
The thing I remember most about my grandma was her sofa: Gold velour with a hateful green and blue floral pattern on it, made even worse by the fact that the entire thing was covered in plastic. Well, driving the Escape Hybrid was much like trying to Flintstone Grandma’s plastic sofa up to speed on the highway.
My kids sit comfortably in the Saturn Vue Green Line. Surprisingly, the backseat has quite a bit of legroom for my teenager, even when he is sitting between two booster seats. The only concern from the gallery of eco-freaks in the back (did I just say that out loud?) is the fact that the seat belts are difficult to buckle one-handed.
