Toyota dealer probably won't touch it, parts should be similar or the same. It will be like early model jdm s15 and late aus spec s15's, nissan won't cover the early grey import s15's. More to the point why would you want a Prius?

simple,...put a 2JZ in ther and be the ultimate sleepr car.....

My GF wants it. She found one for 14 K 2000 model. I told her its grey import.

I want a Corolla for myself... petrol prices are going up every month, you guys with Skylines will be spending your week's pay on a single tank soon lol

Na mate with 1 litre of regular unleaded to hit $1.60 within weeks it'll be more like:

"Hey guys I just sold my left kidney for a full tank of Ultimate... this drive to have dinner at my GF's folks better be worth it!"

what a waste of a perfectly good run about.....I could've put it to much better use

too right!! i would have welded steel rods in place of the shocks and driven at top speed over speed humps and small jumps etc, then i would have smoked it up till the tyres blew, and kept going till the rims broke off, then i would have put a brick on the accelerator and dropped the oil from the engine till it seized, then i probly would have shot it to bits....... then burnt it.....

it would have been a nice full day of fun!

Seen the price of diesel lately? :down:

A VW Polo TDi uses about half a litre more fuel per 100km than a Prius (comparing officially quoted Combined Cycle figures). While it does cost around $5K more used:

* The Polo is 6 years newer, and still has a warranty

* The Polo doesn't have to use ultra-low grip tyres, so its safer

* The Polo is less complex and can be serviced / repaired by VW Australia

* Worn-out batteries isn't a bank breaker

Total Cost of Ownership, I don't know if a Prius is that much cheaper than buying a small diesel hatch.

Environmentally, as a total package (not just emissions), its not head and shoulders better either.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
