Toyota Prius Gets High Marks
Consumer Reports recently released its 2009 Car Issue. Every year they rate the new year model cars, trucks and SUVs. They buy and test new vehicles and rate them on everything from fuel economy to noise level. They collect information from their members about the cars they own and report on owner satisfaction using that data. They also name a top car in 10 categories. New for this year, they have analyzed the anticipated ownership costs over the first five years to come up with cars that deliver the most Bang for the Buck.
Prius is Top Green Car for 2009
Toyota Prius was again named the Top Green Car. Prius has taken this award for the last five years, but with more hybrids coming onto the market, you'd think they'd have some serious competition. Although the Honda Civic Hybrid is pretty close, so far no one has overtaken Toyota. The base model Prius gets 44 mpg, while the Touring gets 42 mpg. With gas prices once again on the rise, this is huge.
Most Bang for the Buck
The 2009 Prius was tops in the inaugural Most Bang for the Buck award. Consumer Reports has combines owner cost over the first five years with performance and reliability ratings to come up with a Bucks per Bang number. Toyota Prius Touring Hybrid got $325 bucks per bang. Compare that to $340 for the Honda Civic and $595 for the Nissan Frontier.
Tops in Owner Satisfaction Too
With almost 425,000 car owners weighing in, Toyota Prius takes top honors in the "Would You Buy Your Car if You Had it to Do All Over" test. That pretty much says it all.
Moral of the Story: Price Isn't Everything
Cars with the lowest price tags are not always the cheapest cars. If a car isn't well made, it's going to cost you in repairs and down time. Assuming that you're going to sell it at some point, a low resale value can cost you a lot. The smart car buyer takes all of these costs into consideration before buying a car.
