It’s the king of the hill as far as gas sippers go, kids–the Toyota Prius is still, for at least two years running now, the best vehicle as fuel efficiency goes outside of a horse-drawn hay wagon.
But there have been plenty of changes to the 2010 model–changes in horsepower, in fuel use style, in gear shifting, and plenty more. You may not be aware of this, but the user manual for a Prius weighs in at over six hundred pages.
So if it’s a hugely fuel efficient vehicle you’re wanting, then the Toyota Prius is absolutely the car for you. But be prepared– you’ll have a lot to learn about this buggy before you can even drive it any length. After all–if you don’t relish the possibility of getting stranded in the middle of nowhere because you were driving in EV mode when you really wanted Eco mode, then you’ll definitely need to hit the books first.
