"Very happy with my new Prius. We bought it for my husband, but I am the one ended up driving it every day. "This car doesn't use any gas!" I kept telling my friends. My minivan averages about 18 mpg, Prius averages 64 mpg in the city, and 55 on the highway, way better than the suggested millage. It is very quiet, very smooth, easy to drive. I wonder why there are not more Prius on the road."

"This car is amazing. It gets super gas mileage, and is fun and comfortable to drive. I'm a lot shorter than my husband (it's his car) but the seat goes up about 4" and I get great visibility from the drivers seat. It has plenty of power (haven't pushed it much as we are still breaking it in) and although we've never had a hatchback before, it works for us. It makes me happy when I drive it. We have a base model and it has everything we would ever want and need in a car."

"I bought the 2011 Prius new--I love it. It's a four cylinder and so the power is the power of a four cylinder--so I knew what I was getting into with that. I drive a combination of country roads and highway for my 30 mile commute to work each day and I love that I am getting about 54 miles per gallon. The car drives well, is roomy for a sedan (I previously drove an SUV), has little road noise, and I like the style of it. Visibility is different and takes some getting used to--but no problems. I am happy every day when I drive this car :)"

"Going from a car that was getting 30 mpg to a car that gets 45-50 mpg is going to save me $150-$200 per month on gasoline bills. I feel a bit more "comfortable" with paying nearly $4 per gallon."

"My 2011 Prius makes my fourth that I have owned. I buy the Prius for mileage. For the price of the car, Toyota could make some inexpensive, yet noticable improvements. Two glove boxes; only one is lighted. The small package shelf under the gear selector is not lighted in any fashion, so it is do dark at night, good luck trying to find anything placed in that area. While the car is quiet from wind noise, it is not all that impressively quiet from road noise. Toyota also needs to update their exterior colors. Also, the back up beeping inside the car is a bit of an annoyance, when in reverse. The Prius is reliable and delivers great mileage. Too bad they don't spruce up the interior as other manufacturer's have done at the same price point."

"Prius IV. Excellent vehicle averaging 49 MPG combined. 2 months old and no compliants. It would be nice to have power seats, otherwise this is a very good buy for someone who wants to save money on fuel."

"We bought a new 2011 Prius 2 about 2 months ago and have been extremely happy with it. It has more power than we expected. It runs quieter than our Lincoln Town Car and drives more like our BMW did on the curves in our area. All of the surprises have been good ones. So far we have not been getting 50 mpg. We are averaging about 44 to 46 mpg but that could be due to the high hills on our roads and my jack-rabbit starts from stop lights. The mileage will probably improve when the car is more broken in, too. Both my wife and I love the car. It has excellent storage with 2 glove compartments, the center console, the door compartments, and the cargo area. We love the quiet ride and the ease of driving the car. It almost drives itself. So far we have no complaints about the car."
