"Excellent vehicle in every way. I love it. The navigation is complicated and takes getting used too. Good ride and acceleration. Getting 50 mpg with sixty percent highway driving and commuting sixty miles a day."

"Nothing like 45-50mpg to make the commute easier! Much more headroom and interior space than I expected. Decent audio system and other standard features. What's difficult about the Prius? The blind spots are wider than normal, and the rear window does not provide much of a view when backing up."

"Really like my 2012 Prius- I am especially fond of the blue tooh on the steering wheel. Push the button and the radio goes off and the caller is there. Great modification. As usual, rides well, handles well etc. Didn't get the back up camera since it is in the rear view mirror and I couldn't see the one on the 11 I had."

"I have had my prius for about a month now. I feel good driving it because I can actually not worry about what its gonna cost me in gas to go anywhere. It really has given me a feeling of freedom. There are only 2 things i have found that are a little annoying. One is fixable, and the other may not be. The first is that the visor is really short so it doesn't really block the sun from my eyes well at all. The other, is that when you are backing up, there is this annoying beebing that continues until you put car in drive. I thought it might be for other peoples safety, warning them that a car with some real iffy visibility is backing up, but no, the beeping is for my benefit! The view out the back is a little compromised because of the upper and lower windows you have to look through. Doesn't really bother me, but it is a concern if you have a hard time turning your neck."

"Overall, I'd call this pretty good. The car gets great mileage and it falls in the category of "fun to drive". Overall, I'd say that we're really pleased. I don't want to minimize that we do LIKE the car - but there are some negatives that are a little baffling. 1) keyless door unlock only unlocks the driver's door. Yet, using the key unlocks all doors. It's a minor annoyance that we have to deal with almost every time we go out to the car. 2) Comfort - I can't call the car comfortable for long trips. We drove about 3 hours yesterday in (yah, 51 MPG!) and I'm so sore today. I can't imagine a really long trip in it. 3) Had to take it in for service the other day - there was a problem with one of the tires. A car with less than 3000 miles and they said that the tire was our fault for how we drive the car. Not pleased with that or the $144 bill to fix it. Overall - the car feels like a compromise. I suspect a Prius V would be a different experience, so it's a case of getting what you pay for. However, if I"m going to pay $30 or $40,000 for a car, it won't be a Prius."

"This is my second Prius and I would never purchase anything else but another Prius. If I drive conservatively I get 62 MPG. I is very comfortable and my friends cannot get over how quiet it is. I had 40,000 miles and the original tires are still in good shape on my 2010 Prius. My husband like that car so much I traded his car in on my 2012 Prius and gave him my 2010. Now we are a total Prius family and luv'n it!"

"We have an older one used for daily commuting and I used to have one as a company car (both flawless). Purchased a new "loaded" one and added the 17" wheels. They really, really change the drive/ride so it feels and looks like a roadster/sports car (huge change from standard 15" wheels). The sunroof is terrific. The larger nav. screen is great. Everyone is always amazed how much room there is in this car-much bigger on the inside than it looks outside-two people and two very large dogs and a bunch a stuff and room to spare. Avg. mileage is just under 50 and I drive it hard. Very, very pleased."

"I recently purchased a 2012 Toyota Prius. I've run three tanks of fuel through it and got 45.3, 48.4 and 49.3 mpg, using the number of miles driven/the number of gallons purchased method to arrive at consumption. The car has a lot of nice features standard, and I opted for no options, although a leather seat for the driver would be nice. There is nothing special about the car, but nothing bad either, except the steering wheel does not extent out far enough."

"The recycled materials used for the dash and other parts of the interior are hard and tend to rattle a lot. On very smooth surfaces it is very quite, but less than perfect blacktop causes continuous rattles. I took it back to the dealer with no luck. It does get 50 mpg day in and day out. But not without a lot of noise."
