"My husband is 6'4". We googled economical cars for tall people and came up with a list of about 6-8 cars. I buy the cars in the family and do the preliminary footwork. When looking at one of the Scion models which was parked next to a Prius, I remarked that I wish my husband could fit in one of them. The salesman said that the new ones were bigger and that he would fit. I said let's go and took a test drive. It was the one. My husband came and sat in it and we bought it. He fits comfortably and four adults are very comfortable in it. My husband averages 48 miles per gallon and I average 50 miles per gallon. We don't miss the pick up power when we remember to push the power button and we have almost made out car payment each month in gas savings (we live in a remote area and travel alot). We love the car and our new second car in a year or so might turn into the new bigger Prius to replace my Honda Element that I love. I would have kept buying them had they not stopped making them. I thought they could have done better with the gas mileage though. They were great with tall people. Our sons are all 6' or better."

"I bought a Prius level 5 with Nav in October 2011. I really needed a high mileage vehicle since I am 10 to 15 miles from anything, one way. My fuel bill was getting ridiculous in my 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali at 12 mpg. The Prius regularly gets 50 mpg. The level 5 includes 17" wheels, heated seats, leather, and a few other features. The car looks a LOT better with the 17" wheels than the standard 15" wheels. The only thing it took time getting used to was the visibility via the rear view mirror and the side view mirrors, which may have been because I am tall and used to the higher driving position of the Yukon. Overall, I love the car and the mileage is fantastic. I am saving almost enough in fuel to pay the monthly payments."

"We really love this car. Perhaps our main concern was the comfort of our (tall) teenage sons in the back seat, but that has not been a problem at all. Always feels like there's lots of room. The only upgrade we got was the JBL sound, and we're glad we did. Nicest car sound we've experienced. Most importantly, car drives terrifically well, it's comfortable for all of us, and it's a pleasure paying so little at the gas pump. Highly recommend!"

"I've had my Toyota Prius for about 2 months now and I am averaging 42 MPG because I do a lot of hiway driving and also stopping and starting. It has enough pick-up for me but my son thinks it's a little sluggish on take-offs. It's very comfortable and I really like the information panel in the dash. I think it's wonderful and would highly recommend it!!!"

"Small on the outside but midsize inside. Versatile interior. Amazing gas mileage, over 50 MPG almost all of the time. Averaging about 52 MPG. Better mileage in town that on the Interstate. Everybody should consider buying a Prius. Toyota reliability. Extremely happy with our purchase of this car."

"The car runs smoothly and it is very quiet and comfortable. The mileage is so good that I feel that I hardly go to the gas station. I wish I had a rear-view camera and I wish they could still install one in the current model because I always fear that there is a blind spot on each corner when I reverse the car."

"I am 65 yrs old. Always had big cars and trucks. I bought my 2011 prius in Aug. Had to make a trip from Florida to Minnesota because of death in family. I drove at 75 mph w/air on and still got 50.4 mph Had no problems with comfort and had plenty of room for wife and luggage. Would recommend to any body looking for a good car for $3 and $4 dollar gas."

"This is my second Prius and I am pleased with all aspects. The fuel economy is excellent and performance is not compromised by the hybrid engine. We look forward to an all-electric model."
