The Prius... What do you think about it?

[olithebad]

Well, yeah the Prius. Possibly the worst Toyota ever made... What do you think of it? I think its just too ****ing ugly, with that spoiler and worst of all, the stupidity of making it small in the back (luggage space) and have a sort of spoiler in the rear looks weird... what do you think about this car?

And i am wondering if PD just shoved it in the Premium section to make us mad... and yeah, there are the 1 gen and some in the UCD. Why???? Worst car in the whole automotive history!!! I saw it on top gear and it handles like a... or it doesen't have any handling at all just like a freaking turtle...

In real-life, I hate the car, it's soulless, ugly and mainly driven by eco-mentalists. However, in GT5, it can be quite fun to tune the car and beat performance cars with it. There's something quite amusing about beating a Skyline with a Prius.

The noise, arrrgghhh the noise. Just. Make. It. Stop.

Does more harm than good.

I think the prius should have not been in the game, let alone a premium. I do understand its "the Real Driving Sim", but this car is seriously crappy. I would have rather have a 1979 ford pinto (white with plaid interior) in the game.

Sorry, but I'm going to say you're wrong. The worst car Toyota ever made is the Supra. JK JK. No, the worst car Toyota ever made is the Camry. Its success is partly why Toyota stopped making cars like the Supra and more cars like the Camry.

As for the Prius, if you think it's lacking in luggage space, you obviously don't own one or know anyone that does. My brother owns one and that thing can carry A TON of stuff. It drives like a minivan, but what I always tell people is that it's a GREAT car if you don't like cars.

If we didn't have the Prius, then we wouldn't have a darn funny South Park episode about it. Always a silver lining, etc.

 

[Jawehawk]

It's better than a Veyron. 'Nuff said.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Honestly, the Touring Car version was disappointing. Understeers more than a cruise liner. If anyone has a great tune to cure this car of it's understeer woes, PLEASE let me know!

 

[pb5]

Hi

I hate the noise it makes too, it would be improved a little if it had a normal gear box.

But it's a pretty pointless car.

The leaf is more fun!

I only race the Prius to minimize my impact on the environment. All the rest of you are killing our planet!

 

[BigFluffy10000]

I don't know. This looks pretty cool.

 

[Raggi Boy]

I don't know. This looks pretty cool.

it may look cool, but i bet it still wont beat a transit

Dear Polyphony Digital...

The above car for DLC please!

Sincerely,

[Mac K]

I hate it... Just saying.

 

[crcn11]

There's a lot of narrow minded people here, particularly the OP. How is the world ever gonna move forward....
Oh and LOL at the OP's Top Gear reference. "I saw Top Gear and they said this so it must be true".

 

[Slash]

Can't stand that POS.

 

[ugabugaz]

Hate the Prius, but love the Nissan Leaf. Go figure.

 

[DA__dogg]

Um, it's get's good gas mileage?

I found out how to fix that issue....

Racing softs in the front, sport hards in the rear.

not quite sure if that totally fixes it, it makes it super squirly, almost RUF feeling, but it performs quite adequately.

the prius IMO is a LOL car. haha especially the touring car. It's vacuum-sounding, 5K RPM-ing motor buzzing along past NSXs and GT-Rs. lol not much more that's entertaining than that

 

[gthead01]

I'll take my Pinto in pistachio green, notchback please.

 

[TankAss95]

Badass. Fantastically enthusiastic. It's like a little, nimble electric toothbrush.

 

[Blitz24]

Hey, at least its not the iMiEV which is a dentist drill .

That thing sounds like the Apocalypse.

Those super-environmentalist morons that would just love to ban internal combustion engines to promote "eco-friendliness", are probably the same kind of idiots who would like to pass SOPA. I was mad when they tried to take the internet away. I will lead a bloody uprising before I'm forced to drive a prius or a nissan leaf..

 

[scullyus]

Why does everyone think the prius is so eco friendly. makes me laugh.

Honestly? You hate a car just from it's looks?

Also, I'm not a fan of the Prius, but please explain "soulessness" if you've used that term, to show that you know what it means and that you haven't just copied it off of Jeremy Clarkson.

 

[Mr-McNUGGET]

It's better than a Veyron. 'Nuff said.

no, not really. Trust me, i'm not a big fan of the veyron, but its at least a car that has inspiring design and shows people what is possible in future "everyday" cars.

The Prius is a hipster fashion statement at best, has no redeeming design or aesthetic value.

 

[1241Penguin]

He was joking.

 

[playnthru]

Why does everyone think the prius is so eco friendly. makes me laugh.

Because that's how Toyota marketed it..The general public bought that story, even though it's untrue..

I tell Prius owners "your killing the planet" it's great fun, try it..
