Toyota Prius Tops Consumer Reports Ratings
The hybrid gas-electric Toyota Prius topped Consumer Reports annual list of Best and Worst New-Car Values for the first time, with the magazine saying the car’s cost to operate is about one-half that of a conventional vehicle. The Prius (at 26,$750 for the Four model) knocked the much cheaper $16,915 base-price Honda Fit out of first place, which that car held for the past four years. CR said the Fit’s lower reliability rating was the reason for its fall from No. 1. At 49 cents a mile to operate, the Prius costs about half as much to run than the average car, said the magazine. which looked at over 200 models for its annual buying guide. CR looks at the five-year cost of ownership for each vehicle, road-test scores and predicted reliability. Toyota and its Lexus cars topped the best values in six of 10 Consumer Reports categories.
