Someone noted my comment that driving a Prius is fun - in a nerdy, video game kind of way.
So, given that, which would be more entertaining to drive: a Prius C, or a Mirage with a detailed fuel economy display (like a ScanGauge/UltraGauge)?
As it turns out, I just had the chance to drive a Prius (not the C) this week, so I've refreshed my memory. And honestly, if my choice was between a 5-speed Mirage or a Prius C (which is CVT only), I honestly think I would call it a draw. But if I had to choose a CVT Mirage vs CVT Prius C, I'd pick the Prius C.
On the other hand, if I had to actually buy one of the cars to settle the debate, I'd pick a Mirage because it's a better value in the long run (eg. total cost of ownership).
Care to comment, daox? Your regular cars are a Prius and a small 5-speed with a ScanGauge.
