2008 Toyota Prius Base Hybrid
The 2008 Toyota Prius adds a new lower-priced Standard model but is otherwise unchanged. This gas/electric hybrid car is a five-passenger, 4-door hatchback that teams a 4-cylinder engine with a battery-powered electric motor for 110 hp. Toyota's hybrid system automatically runs on one or both of its power sources to balance acceleration and fuel economy. No plug-in charging is required. Prius has a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). In addition to the Standard, Base and sport-themed Touring trim levels are offered. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Tourings have a sport suspension, fog lights, and alloy wheels. Standards cost about $1400 less than the Base and are unavailable with features such as cruise control and heated power mirrors.

reviewed on Jan 18, 2008 at 5:36 pmI don' t actually own this Prius myself, but I drive my girlfriend's very regularly. While the acceleration leaves a bit to be desired, it's not bad, and that's not the point of the car. I...
