Info and pics about my 2001 Toyota Prius.
The building in the background is the Life Sciences Building at West Virginia University. These pics were taken in April of 2003.
Prius fans call this Prius the Classic since it was the first generation of Toyota's award-winning gasoline-electric hybrid car.

The EPA mileage rating for the car was 52 city/45 highway/48 combined. The actual mileage usually varied around 44-49 mpg. The top speed was electronically limited to 100 mph... I know from personal experience.

I really liked this car a lot... but nothing compared to how much I enjoy the second-generation Prius.
I heard about the 2nd generation Prius in April (around the time when I took these pics).... it looked like a definite winner... and turned out that way when I got the new one a few months ago.

The Classic is at Ramey Toyota of southern WV... which also sells the new Prius.

The Classic was a very good car, and I never had a problem in the 22,000 miles that I used it. According to the Consumer Reports, the Prius is just as reliable as the Camry.
