Does Toyota Prious or Aqua are a good option to consider for daily life driving short/long distance/hilly roads ?
What is the common problems with this car and what should I consider before I buying?
Thank you

Hi there,
As these vehicles are Toyota, they are generally very reliable.
The main thing to consider is the battery condition and cost of replacement if its required, everything else operates like a normal petrol powered vehicle. A pre purchase is a very good inspection to get for a vehicle you are interested in.

Thank you so much for your reply

Also I want to compare the Prius with Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid (new version which arrived to NZ recently). It comes with 1.3 L powerful engine (as it claiming) and 1.5 L.
Which one of these Honda is good (the 1.3 L or the 1.5 L)?
As comparison with Toyota Prius, which one is much better, the Toyota Prius or Honda Fit Hybrid Shuttle?

Thank you

Hi there,
The Honda hybrids are less known and potentially might be harder to find parts and expert services. If Honda NZ hasn't brought them in here as mainstream- I would be a bit cautious in recommending purchasing them.
