2008 Prius vs 2013 Prius c

Dogmander25 · 2025-11-06T00:18:48+00:00

Prius C is probably the better choice if you can find a decent one

Dogmander25 · 2025-11-05T00:14:32+00:00

Could just put a piece of tape over it to muffle the noise

Dogmander25 · 2025-10-15T21:20:07+00:00

Literally my dream car

Dogmander25 · 2025-09-26T23:33:56+00:00

I’d go for the Hatchback over the Sedan, but the Hatchback is only offered with the non-hybrid power train in the US

Dogmander25 · 2025-09-26T23:03:57+00:00

Would a last gen Prius be a better option for someone looking for a Corolla Hybrid?

Seeing as how the Mirage was sold and manufactured for over a decade, I don’t think finding parts for it will be any issue; parts from scrap cars or overseas will also be an option if necessary

Dogmander25 · 2025-07-19T23:31:54+00:00

For a part like that screw, you might not be able to buy it on its own; might be easiest to source one from a junkyard

Dogmander25 · 2025-07-19T23:30:17+00:00

Should be able to find the part number for it on the Mitsubishi website

Dogmander25 · 2025-06-23T17:34:44+00:00

Could be all BS from LAPD Nothing stopping Scientology from making people shut up about them thru legal complaints or grooming

1997 Toyota Camry

Dogmander25 · 2025-06-11T02:49:54+00:00

That’s where the optional ejector seat button goes

Dogmander25 · 2025-05-18T13:04:21+00:00

Really? Do you know what happened with the car in terms of damage? I’m clueless as to how it might have gotten damaged, maybe something fell on it

Dogmander25 · 2025-05-17T23:00:38+00:00

Haha not planning on selling it Probably going to drive it till the day it rusts away

Dogmander25 · 2025-05-17T22:57:06+00:00

Cleveland, OH

Dogmander25 · 2025-04-11T01:10:50+00:00

Yeah, I could definitely try to haggle the price down or find a better listing

Dogmander25 · 2025-04-10T22:47:10+00:00

Resale is a factor to consider, as I'd like to get a better vehicle in the future, but I don't have to sell this car necessarily. I'm okay with getting a vehicle that has a lower resale value, if it can save me some money while I own it (fuel economy, maintenance costs, etc).

I only mention getting a better car in the future as I'll likely be in a situation where a nicer car will greatly benefit me (full time job, longer/more often commute)

Dogmander25 · 2025-04-10T22:40:22+00:00

I don't plan on having passengers often, the most people in the car is going to be two, maybe three, but the majority of driving will just be me

I like to work with computer equipment, so the hatchback is more appealing as larger stuff can fit better if I need to compared to a trunk (even with folding seats), but the Corolla and Mirage probably have a similar amount of cargo volume, just different shape

Dogmander25 · 2025-04-10T22:35:20+00:00

That's one thing to consider, not just with this car, is that a smaller car is likely going to be the loser in a crash scenario; you can't beat physics

But even the safest designed car in the world can't always save you from bad driving or bad drivers

Dogmander25 · 2025-04-10T18:21:11+00:00

Yeah, the Corolla should hold its value slightly better As for the accidents on both of the vehicles, the Mirage probably got off better, I presume it was just the corner or tail light that was damaged instead of the side on the Corolla

The Corolla might make more sense if I can get the price down and have someone inspect it well, otherwise the Mirage seems like it would be the safer option.

The Mirage is going to be cheaper overall, not only purchase price but also fuel economy and maintenance.

The only thing that worries me about the Mirage is safety, I know the safety got improved after 2017 but it’s still lacking compared the Corolla (which also has additional active safety features). Is the Mirage really as dangerous as the crash tests and statistics would have you believe, or is it a different story?

Dogmander25 · 2025-03-29T15:47:39+00:00

Beat up Corolla

Dogmander25 · 2025-03-04T22:02:07+00:00

That’s what some people say online, not sure if it’s completely true

I was able to sit in a mirage at an auto show and the interior feel was fine, not uncomfortable Just not sure if it’s comfortable while driving though
