Carla - The Red Prius - aliusman420

[arslansohail84]

There is a big difference in karachi and lahore traffic. In karachi we dont have to travel long distances every day as compared to lahore. I bought my prius 4months back and not a single time i have been to any highway or long drives. In karachi highway drives are much less as compared to that of lahore. Even if i had to go to highway i would not be taking my prius as the roads condition are worse then karachi and we all know the road clearance problem in prius.
My prius does not give me more then18km/l even if i drive it with a very light foot and if i drive it like my other cars then it gives me 14km/l. What the use of buying a 1800cc car when we have to drive it like a gadha gari.
in my opinion 2nd generation prius was a ideal car for pakistan which was priced arround 1.6million. It was in the bugdet of many people who could choose between prius and gli. But now we have to choose between grande and prius. 80% of people will go for zero meter grande coz of its stylish design and it only lacks in climate controll others there is no luxirious feature in prius as compared to grande.

I am not liable to give anyone any justifications, jis ka jo dil karta hai karay jo sochna hai sochay because frankly, I don't care at all what anyone thinks about me or my choice, it's my property whether I pamper it or burn it, it's all up to me!

I never wanted to get on your nerves. It's just I was trying to have a conversation which might have made me understand that part that why Toyota Prius has no respect internationally and over our homeland why it should be treated as a fragile chandelier being a hybrid that many people claim no mechanic understand being totally wrong. Still, yes it is your choice and your property and you are liable to act upon as you may find fit. Still I remain unclear with the facts that why treat it as a infant in a walker while it should be treated as any other car. Being hybrid isn't really a reason of saving it from puddles, thunderstorms, desert Strom.
Or calling in office saying I can't be there today as there are chances on rain and I drive a Prius. Guess as I was leaning more towards the grande I'll carry on with it. Because I'm not a person who would unroll a tissue paper and drive over it so my ride don't have to sweat it out.

Whoever wrote this comment has said nothing wrong in my opinion.

Its not about bubble wrapping. Its about taking care of your "baby", like @aliusman420 does
If you love something, you take care of it, simple.

Sure, exactly. The love of vehicles, the actual love for the car and the relation ship a owner builts up with it is always there even with a 1972 corolla or this. Still that doesn't mean that have to be more careful with the vehicle to show the love just because you might break it in half or electrocute it. All I was saying was why more special why more gentle? Is it true if u take it out with out an umbrella you won't be coming back home soon? I don't think so.

Km travelled 50,000 50,000
Mileage 22 kml 10 kml
No of years 2 2
Petrol Price 84 84
Litres Required 2,273 5,000
total cost 190,909 420,000
Savings 229,091

Forgot about the maintenance. And yes, if you break something that on the minus as well because I guess the spare parts are on the heavy side of the wallet.
Other then that pretty logical calculation that is.

Yeah, that. Indeed a good point. I would love to add that how many other cars are there which I know are there that they actually give out same kind of milage without being hybrid. And top of that you can leave them in a car park without calculating milage while being on lift on your way to office being late and explaining why you were driving with a light foot saving them milage points.

and ofcourse the added comfort of the japenese drive with a lot better features than a corolla. And a satisfying ride everytime.
And i'd like to add buying a grande will also make you suffer in terms of resale, and everytime you park it somewhere all you can do is pray that it doesn't disappear (is stolen).
So why not buy a prius and enjoy it while you can.

can you tell me what are the features that a prius have and a grande dont have accept for climate controll.
The immobolizer problem can be solved with stalling a good quality security system.
while in grande we get padel shifters, sunroof and leather seats at a lower price (1.5lacs) (for prius atleast 5lacs) , good road clearance and also better performace.
i think there is not a big differece in the confort level of a prius and a grande.

Agreed bro.

I dint go into all the pros and cons. The guy mentioned that the fuel savings advantage is none, so i only argued against it

Bro the arguement was only based on the fuel savings advantage of a Hybrid vs the resale power of a rolla.
Thus the calculations

Everyone loves their loved ones in different ways bro

I do understand that. Still hard to understand the fuel saving advantage of a hybrid is equal to the mileage given by any other car not being a hybrid.

Umm sir i dont follow

Sir this is awesome stuff !!

No doubt Prius' fuel savings

I was just comparing it with the resale mentality of our "resale awaam".
Like for example if i keep a Prius for 2 years, i ll be facing around Rs. 200,000 loss when i decide to sell it.
However a rolla will sell for almost the same price.

P.S. Cannot view your second post
