Now I'm torn between a used Prius at $10,000, and a diesel TDI at the same price. I'm going to investigate the mileage that each one gets in practice, which modifications I can do to each (I'm guessing there's more room for improvement on the Diesel). One plus on the TDI is that it's manual, and would be more fun to drive.  |
For the same price I would go with the Hybrid...
Lower Emissions, cheaper oil changes (TDI = Synth), Diesel fuel costs, etc.
No offense to the VW folk
