Hail! I'm from Hungary, and i own a 2006 Prius since a month. well, i think i don't hae to explain it, why do we think that it is wonderful! It eats about 5-7 l/km!! Our 1.3 Ford Fiesta eats one liter more! Its motors are totally extrem! You just pick down into "D", push down the pedal on the right, and looook out! It's amazing, when you get the Nm-s and Hp-s to your back. And it's extremly quiet! We often use it over 100 km/h, but it is soooooosoooooo quiet and economical! It hasn't got any enemy at the traffic lamps, because of the 400+ Nm-s. In the city, it always uses its EV mode, so than the consumption is 0 l/km! Could any diesel or petrol car reach this? I hope there are much more hungarian priuses, and they found this topic. Byebye!

Madmax will certainly have more to say Oxo, but I suppose the reference was to newton meters of torque and horsepower.

[/b][/quote] He/she is probably referring to the high torque (Newton metres) and power, the way you get a pushed into the seat ("to your back") when accelerating from a full stop ("lamps", red light).

Hello MadMax... I am in California planning to go back to Budapest this fall. I sure wish I could take my Prius with me but of course it's too expensive so I'll have to sell it. There does need to be more Priuses in Hungary. I post egy foto so you can see that a Magyarország sticker nezd nagyon csinos a Priusz!
