What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Prius
| Price of the Toyota Prius: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
The prius is not very expensive compared to other hybrids, in fuel or maintenance costs. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Cheaper than the Mini |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Price was a good value |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
It was a previously owned vehicle that was offered at a very good price |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
I felt that the cost was reasonable given the technology. In addition, there was a total of $4000 in government tax rebates that lessened the cost of ownership a great deal. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
$25k out the door price. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
We have a private loan and we are paying if off as fast as we can. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
I bought the car used. Excellent deal. |
| Price of the Toyota Prius: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Getting any hybrid new in 2010 for 21k was not a bad deal, but Toyota broke out the Prius into several different models, and for 21k you get a pat on the back and the little paper in the floorboard. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Several thousand more than the Insight. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Even the low end Prius was a few thousand more than the mid-range Insight EX. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Price is too high in this uncertain economic time. Plus I tend to keep cars 10 to 12 years. I do not want to be faced with the cost of replacing the batteries (well over $1,500) eight to ten years from now. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Payments were 382 per month for 7 years, car not really worth it. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
There is the "hybrid premium" you pay because of the new technology, but the Prius is neither a small car not a cheap car. It is larger than a Camry inside and it is well built with tons of features not found on cars such as the Yaris, Corolla, Elantra... |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Far too expensive for what you get. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Its expensive, compared to other models of about the same size. It will take several years before the fuel economy pays that back. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Was a great bargain when tax credits could defray expense (I got both federal and state credits!) |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
The car is pricy for mid size car |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
It can be pricier than similar cars of the same model year. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
In Canada, there is definitely a price premium for the Prius - which is unfortunate, since it is a great car. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 70-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
It is an expensive car, and I am hoping to drive it for 10+ years to make that investment worth it. I am a person who would more likely buy a used car rather than something new off the lot. I just got swept away by the "green" aspect of owning a Prius. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Pontiac Vibe
| Price of the Pontiac Vibe: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Discontinued brand(Pontiac) & model(Vibe) that had been discounted. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
0% 60mths, $800cad grad discount, and another $2000cad off on top of that. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
At $6,000 less than the Toyota Matrix, it is a TRUE bargain. After all, it is essentially the same vehicle with a Pontiac badge on it. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
GM was willing to cut a great deal! |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Basically the same car as the Matrix, but for you get much better options for significantly less money. Overall price quite reasonable. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
With the brand now gone, dealers are giving these things away. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
It was affordable (I bought it used) and still had the space I needed. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
A new Vibe is dirt cheap these days; great value for the money...a used Vibe is an even better bargain. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
My Vibe Base was priced less than a comparably equipped Toyota Matrix XR at the time I bought mine. |
| Price of the Pontiac Vibe: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I thought the Vibe was overpriced. I only made the purchase when GM offered the 2009 at the same price as the 2006-7, with added safety features now standard. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Overall, I think the Vibe is overpriced. But then so is every other car on the market. That is what happen when the government bails out private companies when they make poor business decisions. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 180-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The Vibe GT would have cost far more than the Protege5. |
