There are much worse cars to a Prius....like a Nissan Sentra or a Camry or some crappy GM product...or Dodge Avenger. A Prius is one of the better rental cars out there.


Car was accosted by road debris about a month ago. Caused sheetmetal damage to the pax. door and rear quarter and windshield. This is the 3rd time in 2 years this car has had significant damage caused by road debris...one pax. mirror taken out, road gator cracked the bumper and broke a headlight tab and now this.I'd like to blame it on the DOT for not keeping the roads clean.

Now, I don't mind a Camry, but I'm completely with you on the Sentra lol. Anyway, hope your car comes back home safely and looking new.

Don't mind a Camry?! Man, I had one last year for a rental (front bumper damage from road debris) and I really wanted to end myself after the first 2 blocks. I ended up trading it for a Malibu that was significantly better (not saying much lol). I prefer a Ford Fusion for a rental...that's a good, solid car.

I've had a few friends that owned Camrys (ies?). Didn't mind them too much, though I wasn't stuck with it either. Ford Fusions are nice little cars, though I'll take my NB any day

Drove the bejesus out of it, and filled it up with fuel. Also pulled my map off of the XEDE to upload into the XEDE forum here.
