2011 Toyota Prius - Q&A
Buy EV NIssan Leaf or 2011 Prius Hybrid?
I am considering buying either of these cars maybe by the end of year (USED). That is when the Nissan leaf will come out. At first I liked what it would cost to charge the leaf for every 100mi which they said about $3.00 something on .10cents a kwh. But that is not in... Read More
- The decision between the Prius and the Leaf is if you need more than the 100 mile range. I'd use the 100 miles as a maximum figure on a good day. It's not really available yet so there's no real-world data. Here's some information about my Prius: I... Read More
- I would rather go for the Nissan Leaf, but demand for that vehicle is very high. People claim that Nissan Leaf can do 367 miles to a gallon. I just think thats nonsense. Its a electric car, it needs no gas, its suppose to do 100 miles in one charge, depending upon your... Read More
- why don't you ride a bicycle instead. that will give you infinity miles to a gallon
- I calculated this out and did the math myself. It would take about 18 years for a Prius to match up to a Honda Civic when considering the starting price ($21k versus $15k). We harp on mpg, but fuel only takes 5-20% of your total budget unless you are a travelling... Read More
- lets think about the cost to buy one. you'll have to own both for well around 10 years to even out the savings on gas. then think of the maintenance after its out of warranty. hmm lipo batteries that size cost upwards of 9,000 bucks! now lets tackle the leaf, a... Read More

Why should I also consider these?
Take one look at the Honda Insight and you'll see why it's perhaps the top rival to the 2011 Toyota Prius; it has nearly the same, swept-back aero-body roofline; however the Insight has Honda's IMA mild-hybrid system and disappointing mileage compared to the Prius.
The Prius is roomier than the Insight as well.
More noteworthy is the Fusion Hybrid, a roomy mid-size sedan that gets 41 mpg in city driving, with a very smooth hybrid system and a better ride-and-handling balance than the Prius.
Left-brain thinkers will opt for the VW Jetta TDI diesel, which costs more than gas-engined Jettas but delivers fuel economy in the 40-mpg range and a reputation for durability—as well as great handling and a suave interior.
Two other rival models are technically from the same automaker as the Prius, though they probably wouldn't like you to think about it that way: The HS 250h is a small luxury sedan based on the new Prius but incorporating a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a variation of the Prius' hybrid system.
Overall, the HS feels somewhat cramped inside and isn't much more responsive than the Prius, while getting lower mileage.
The new Lexus CT 200h hatchback is a better choice for most who want a sportier, more distinctive hybrid; it has a roomy interior as well as improved handling and plenty of nice details.
