2011 Toyota Prius Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...There is, however, a certain peace that comes with driving a car this visually clean on the inside. There isn't too much in the way of storage compartments or nooks and crannies inside the Prius. There's a cupholder accessible up front, and a second one stashed inside the smallish dual-level center console. A single bottleholder sits in each of the front doors, and there are two cupholders in the fold-down armrest in the backseat. I found myself wishing for larger in-door storage pockets in the front row and more storage on any sort for the kids to use in back. There are two glove boxes and... |

2011 Toyota Prius Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...There are three other acceleration modes: normal, ECO and Power (PWR on the button). ECO makes the pedal less sensitive and helps you drive ECOnomically, and Power puts the gas engine on a hair trigger for quicker sprints at the flick of your sensible fair-trade sandal. The Prius' handling is also just adequate, with steering that's a little vague and lacks feedback .

2011 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid — Flash DriveSource: MSN Autos...I can see its benefit for a driver who travels around 12 miles per day because most of the driving would be under electric power. The disadvantage is that once the Prius plug-in switches to the gasoline-electric hybrid mode, the fuel economy is less than a standard Prius due to the added battery weight. In electric mode the plug-in doesn't feel as peppy as other electric cars I have driven, again probably because of the added weight. Under hybrid power I found myself switching to power mode to improve drivability, which also reduces efficiency. – Mike MeredithThe Prius plug-in hybrid is a... |
