Comments and suggestions on Toyota Prius?
I am impressed with the technology used in Toyota Prius. I am looking to buy one. I live in hilly terrains, where my current car with 115 HP is struggling to pick up sometimes.
1) Would Prius with 65 hp be a good idea to buy for me?
2) Would the gas mileage be the same in these conditions?
Please answer my questions. I would greatly appreciate it.

Very good points for the Corolla. I've loved the newer look for a while now and it's not as annoyingly visible or coveted for parts as the Civic. 23K Corolla? No way! I'll have to go check that out but sounds way too high.

No, 23K for a prius and 16,500 for a corolla LE - that is exactly what I said in my statement. You also won't look as nerdy here in beef and cheese and cow country in WI as compared to yuppy and 'green' Californiaaaahh. The new Civic is also butt ugly and a lot of people are disliking the new looks and driving of the new corolla, but it is roomier a little inside and in the trunk by a lot compared to 2008 and prior corollas. It gets 37 mpg avg. for us and they hold their resale value about as good as any other 4 cylinder out there just like the honda civic.

I re-read your long ass statement and got your point on the pricing issues. LOL.
Doesn't matter where you drive the Prius - that thing is horrendous. You'd never catch me behind the wheel of one even out here in California. Not much has changed about Corolla's new look to be disliked so I'd definitely go for it at cost if I were in the market for a fuel-efficient and dependable small car.

Just my 2 cents, the 2010 Prius has 295 ft lbs of torque and 134 HP now with 1000 new patents on it. It's a midsize car, can seat 6 foot guys in the back seats with comfort and has room for 4 sets of golf clubs. I'm not a golfer, but that's pretty good stats for a car that gets 50 mpg even if you don't baby it. Resale value is really high on Prius also, and it has no surpentine belt or timing belt to change. No transmission to service either. Best part is, since the first generation in 2001 there has NEVER been a hybrid battery replaced other than one that has been in an accident. If you want to know more, just ask.

still butt ugly on the prius and the 2010 prius's brakes do not work properly on the recall. If you can stomach the ugly on the outside exterior and willing to spend 7K more on it, then go for it. I think you will be fine on the hills on either the prius, yaris, or corolla, but do not expect to be happy in it going sluggishly up the hills. I know my neighbor enjoys the gas mileage savings, but even they do not like the prius in the winter in WI since it has no ground clearance and thru the snow, they suck since not only no ground clearance, but no power as well. And these are neighbors who normally do not complain about underpowered 4 cylinders since they also own a new honda fit and newer honda CRV, both doggy 4 cylinders as well.
