I?m in love...

Great car. Never thought of a Prius until traded in my Chevy Sonic. Wanted a safer car. Didn?t like the Chevy dealership in my town so went to the Toyota dealership. Really nice folks. Looked at several different cars and got into a Prius for fun and fell in love with the interior, smooth ride, quiet motor (or the complete quiet at a full stop), the extra power of the engine when needed, and all the great electronic safety features plus the gas mileage for a daily 2-hrs commute. Can?t beat it. How did I miss this car before?

It's 3 Days Old, but So Far, So Good

I chose the Prius 2 Eco because I wanted a car that is economical to operate and to maintain. I think this one will do the trick. The seats are very comfortable and the car handles beautifully. The hybrid engine is supposed to get 58 mpg or better, and I'm excited about that. The only negative I've experienced so far is probably common to all brands of new cars. All the displays are electronic. I find them difficult to use and distracting while driving.

njce car

Wish I could afford a 3 loaded or a 4. Lots of nice options on both but I can't come to terms on price or trade-in value for my 2011.

Love this car!

I love the styling, the smooth ride, the intuitive controls, and of course, the gas mileage. I have only owned it for about two months, but so far the overall quality is worth the price.

Outstanding MPG!

The 2017 Prius Two exceeds my expectations: with just over 1,500 miles(both local & highway), my combined is OVER-69 MPG( easy on throttle & braking); nice riding, quiet... very, very happy; The only improvements(nit-picking) would be a little more space between gas and brake pedals( size 13-wide shoes, often pressing both pedals) and a more-substantial center arm rest with a removable protection for the material on top of it because I can visualize it wearing-out quickly.

Typical Prius, extremely reliable!

Getting 57 mpgs,the 2017 Prius exceeds the mileage claims on the window sticker. Great family car, very comfortable, fantastic fuel mileage. Acceleration is acceptable, on par with a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. At first getting used to all the computer things on the dash requires a look at the owner's manual, but after a while you understand its purpose. The whole point of owning a Prius is receiving high fuel mileage, along with the best reliability, all while being comfortable hauling a family of four. The car handles well, but it's not a sports car. Realistically, you could not find a car that will get you anywhere as efficiently and reliably, while in comfort, at any price. This last generation Prius is that good. The only thing that requires improvement is the exterior rear portion of the car.

New car

Just purchased so I can?t comment on reliability but if it?s anything like my 2009 Prius it should be great.
