Does anything come close to the Prius in terms of reliability, space, and MPG?
There's a 2011 Fusion Hybrid near me for 9500(~3000 less than the cheapest Priuses) but I'm scared of Ford transmissions. Is there anything else I should be looking for in this price range? The Fit/Fiesta/Sonic are cute but I'm worried about space and safety.

Did you know the carbon footprint it takes to make and dispose of the car's battery nullifies any perceived gain it makes in saving the planet?

I don't care about that, I want to save on gas.

Then get any other regular 4 cylinder; because the Prius is so expensive, you'd have to drive it 5yrs before you would see any savings vs a normal gas sipper that's thousands cheaper..

I drove 30k miles in 2016 for my job. Gas has been one of my biggest expenses. A 20mpg difference means thousands.

In the city? Because that's where a Prius shines. It's not a highway miles car. Also the average lifespan of Prius is 100k. It's your money, but I would encourage some research. Unless you are a full time Uber driver, there are more cost effective rides out there...

Easier to control disposal of a battery than emissions just spewing into the atmosphere though.

>>16687458
I did research and never once saw the 100k number. I read the opposite, that Priuses can last very long. In fact I'm still doing research, trying to find alternatives here on /o/.
Did a Prius murder your family?

If you're a full time Uber driver your employer actively discourages you from being tipped and you should really seek other employment

maybe if you change the oil once in it's life. We use prius' for work vehicles (about 20 of them) and all of them are over 150k with nothing but regular checkups done to them.

Then get a Honda Fit.
