The other drivers at the grocery store that should just yield to the greatness that is the Prius in all situations. The other attendees at the party should be happy to hear all about their insane mileage and how much better they are as humans in comparison to their SUV-owning party goers. The drivers stuck behind them as they travel 20 km/h below the speed limit in the left lane should just be appreciative that they’re learning all about hypermiling. “They are the worst because the drivers all seem the be self-righteous jerks that feel like they are driving the most important car on the road. It’s actually likely an important car for the entire industry, showing that people will buy economical hybrid cars.
“I’ll take a different approach: I’d submit the Prius as the worst car Toyota has made. “All the picks in here are either wrong (Supra), or confusing ‘worst’ with ‘boring’. “Although, the Tundra hasn’t been much better –at least by gen twoof that, they got the basic details for mainstream acceptance right, and even that can’t sell much more than 120k units a year (it hit almost 200k in ‘07, and that’s it).” Nevermind how much better the domestic full-sized trucks sold, even the mid-sized Dakota outsold it by about 2:1. “But the T100 they built just for us didn’t have a V8 (or a particularly powerful V6), didn’t have an extended cab for the first several years of production, and despite being smaller than a full-sized truck, was about 10% more expensive. Toyota also appreciated that they needed a bigger truck than the Truck(Hilux) to really break through here, although at least the Truck had proven itself and still has a cult following. “By the early 90’s, Toyota appreciated they needed to be designing cars specifically for the North American market, and did so brilliantly with the XV10 Camry and Lexus LS400 (as mentioned, the Previa was clearly a foreign market vehicle, and as such too weird and expensive to really work here). Details here.“Not a bad truck really, but certainly a misstep by Toyota – the T100. Sweepstakes Of The Month: Win a 2022 Corvette C8.R IMSA GTLM Championship Edition.

However, motorists may be hard-pressed to find a good used Vibe for less than $5,000 at the moment, with used vehicle prices skyrocketing over the past year. Last year, KBB said the Pontiac Vibe was also one of the best second-hand car buys for under $5,000. The Pontiac Vibe is the only domestic vehicle on the list, with all other entries being from either Japanese or Korean automakers. Other entries on the list include 2009 Toyota Prius, 2012 Mazda3, 2012 Honda Fit, 2012 Scion xB, 2013 Kia Soul, 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour, 2012 Honda Insight and 2016 Nissan Versa note. The Vibe and Matrix are two of ten hatchback vehicles that KBB has identified as being good buys for under $8,000. “Frugal, reliable, more maneuverable than an SUV, with available all-wheel drive, for less than $8,000? The 2012 Toyota Matrix is what you’re looking for,” KBB concludes of the Japanese automaker’s iteration of this compact hatch.
The publication had similar praise for the 2010 Toyota Matrix which, as any readers will know, shares a platform, engine and other key components with the second-generation Pontiac Vibe. “Available with all-wheel drive, the Vibe offers SUV-like utility in a more compact, efficient package.” “Spacious for passengers and cargo, the 2010 Pontiac Vibe builds on the layout and components shared with the Toyota Matrix and Corolla with its own unique look,” KBB says of the compact car. This gives the spacious hatchback similar traits to a modern-day compact crossover, but with a much lower point of entry. KBB editors like the second-generation Pontiac Vibe as it was available to order with all-wheel-drive. The 2010 model year Pontiac Vibe has been named one of the best used hatchback vehicles that can be purchased for less than $8,000 by the editorial team over at Kelley Blue Book.
