Is the Toyota Prius a cost effective choice, compared to Honda Fit, Nissan Versa or Toyota Yaris?

If you're looking to buy a new one, I'd wait it out a little bit longer and go for the 2010 Honda Insight over the Toyota Prius. It's basically designed to do everything the Prius does, but cost less. However the downside is that you're buying a Honda instead of a Toyota - not that Honda vehicles aren't well made.

They're very reliable, but not quite as reliable as a Toyota, IMO.

Here's a good side-by-side comparison.... cars.com/go/compare/modelCompare.jsp?myi....

Depends on what kind of driving you typically do. The prius and the sub-compacts are great for purely city-driving. Their light weight and small size make them perfect for busy city streets.

The subcompacts are way cheaper than the prius (either used or new) and their mileage is decent enough. I think based on that single reason alone, I would opt for the sub-compacts over the prius. It costs less to purchase and would still cost you less at the pump than regular sedans.

Hybrid Cars|Hybrid vehicles will improve more in the future and I would hold out on buying the hybrids until later.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
