kasing price ng Rav4 4WD or base-model Camry ang Prius. so expect to shell out around 1.3M for it.

not freaking worth it. a Picanto or Getz is a more viable option.

I think its in Toyota Sta. Rosa plant but owned by the government..

IMO, it's the mileage that matters... Kaya lang, sa 'Pinas, looks matter a great deal... Kaya humaba pila sa Fortuner eh...

I dont have any info with regards to mileage.

the Prius donated to the government is the old Prius and not the Full model Change that is being sold in Japan and other countries

Hmm baka doable ang hybrid since parang nakaoff ang makina pag traffic diba? so in our roads, off sya almost all the time hehehe... but for the price, novelty item lang dito... Although folks who have money that bought Khaos would probably get it...

Speaking of which, ano nanaman kaya "inherent defect" na hihirit ng Khaos sa hybrids hehehe.

the problem with the prius is that... kapag nag off ang makina, off rin ang aircon. dehins pwede yan dito. nakakabit pa kasi sa gas engine yung aircon.

although sa hybrid na highlander, hindi na ganito since electric motors na ang gamit ng aircon.
