Testimonials

My experience at Thompson Toyota was the best I have ever had, the entire

team was friendly and the customer service from Mark Rinehart was excellent,

he worked with me to get my new 2013 Corolla and made sure my payments

were I wanted them. I have never felt that confident in a vehicle purchase as I

did with this one. The car was ready and very clean when I arrived to pick it

up, the paperwork was quick and easy with no problems. I will continue to be

a Thompson customer!

When you walk in to most dealerships, you expect to endure the ongoing

back and forth battle with pricing, at Thompson, our car buying experience

was not like that. DeeJay Johnson took excellent care of us, with real concern

for what we wanted. She is a genuine professional who made us feel

welcomed, valued and of utmost importance throughout the whole

transaction and continued to do so still today.

I am a returning customer because of the great service and personal attention

you are given at the dealership. Dee Jay provided the knowledge and comfort

needed upon making the correct choice for my needs. The support staff was

also helpful and there was no pressure, just outstanding service. I will return

again when Im ready to purchase another automobile.

About The Prius:

The Toyota Prius, which came out in Japan at the end of 1997, is designed to

reduce emissions in urban areas. To accomplish this, Toyota has designed a

parallel hybrid powertrain, called the Toyota Hybrid System (THS), that adds

some of the benefits of a series hybrid. The Prius meets California's super

ultra low emissions vehicle (SULEV) standard. It is a four-door sedan that seats

five, and the powertrain is capable of accelerating the vehicle to speeds up to

15 mph (24 kph) on electric power alone. This contributes to the better city

mileage than highway mileage. The Prius was the 2004 North American Car of

the Year.

Unlike Honda, Toyota has focused primarily on the powertrain to achieve its

emissions and mileage goals. The Prius weighs 2,900 pounds (1,315 kg) and

has as much interior space and trunk space as a Toyota Corolla.

The Prius mainly relies on two features to optimize efficiency and reduce

emissions:

• Its engine only runs at an efficient speed and load - In order to reduce

emissions, the Prius can accelerate to a speed of about 15 mph (24 kph)

before switching on the gasoline engine. The engine only starts once the

vehicle has passed a certain speed. And once the engine starts, it operates in

a narrow speed band.

• It uses a unique power split device - Gasoline engines can be tuned to

run most efficiently in certain speed and load ranges. The power split device

on the Prius, which we'll talk about in a minute, allows the engine to stay in

its most efficient load and speed range most of the time.

Toyota designed the 1.5-liter engine in the Prius to run at a maximum speed

of only 5,000 rpm, where it makes 76 horsepower. Keeping the maximum

speed of the engine low allows for the use of lighter components that

improve efficiency.

The electric motor on the Prius is rated at 67 horsepower from 1,200 to 1,540

rpm. It produces 295 pound-feet of torque from 0 to 1,200 rpm, which is

more than enough to get the car going without the aid of the gasoline

engine
