Default Re: Comparing Prius mileage with Corolla

It's cheaper (strictly money-wise) to buy used. Like a Corolla or Civic. Lower purchase price, but lower MPG. Lots of gas can be had with the lower purchase price.

The Prius is MORE than just about saving money...use less, pollute less. To do the right thing seems to cost more.

Cheers,

Curt.

I think the clear choice for you is the manual Honda Insight. After all, why settle for second best? If you ever need to carry more than one extra passenger, just cram them in the hatchback area!
