Used 2008 Toyota Prius for Sale nearDenver, CO

Not much changed for arguably the most fuel efficient hybrid on the market in 2008. The Prius comes in three trims and features a 1.5-liter, 110-hp gas-electric hybrid engine. All three trims have a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Gas mileage comes out to a very high 48 mpg in the city and 45 on the highway (unlike standard cars, hybrids often get better mileage in the city than on the highway). The new Prius also produces nearly 70 percent fewer smog-forming emissions than the average new vehicle. The Prius liftback has 4 doors, seats 5, and offers standard air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, a CD player, ABS brakes, traction control, push-button start, keyless entry, and a multi-function LCD display that includes fuel-consumption details and helps drivers learn to optimize their driving for fuel efficiency. Options include stability control, a navigation system, and leather seats.

Overall, drivers like the Prius's excellent fuel economy, good control, futuristic design, and ample interior room. On the other hand, despite the high-tech hybrid engine, most drivers wouldn't mind having a little more than 110 horsepower. Despite its limitations, look for the Toyota Prius to maintain its popularity as more and more drivers look to go green.
