Toyota Prius - 2005 —
I own The Maids Home Services of Frederick and Northern Montgomery counties in Maryland. About three years ago, when oil was way under $50.00 a barrel, I began to switch my fleet of cars from Ford Escort and Ford Focus to Toyota Prius. Everyone laughed at me. They said oil will never reach $100 per barrel, the Prius is silly, how could I justify the extra cost over Fords, etc., etc., etc.Well eight Prius' and three years later those same people are calling me asking me how I like them, what kind of gas mileage do I get and what are the repair costs. Well I get an average of 44 miles to a gallon, have no repair bills and just love the car. The only problem is...yes there is a problem...if you leave on any sort of light i.e.: dome light or vanity light the car battery, the one that starts the car, will be dead in eight hours or less. And if you have a jumper box in the hatch you will have to fling your body over the rear seats since the hatch has no key hole to open it. Toyota should know better.
The other problem is that there is a six month waiting list now and no deals or discounts. However, it is still well worth the wait. This car has features on it that even the expensive cars don't have. i.e.; keyless entry and keyless start
Go out and buy that golf cart and see who has the last laugh now!
