My car will have about 100,000 miles by about this time next year. So we are begining to save up to buy something newer.

So Toyota vs VW which would you prefer?

I like the prius because you can go all elctric around town...if you drive slow enough.

I like the thought of converting the TDI to run off of vegtable oil.

Both would be used and probably '05-'07 models to keep the price down.

What are your opinions?
