2005 Toyota Prius consumer reviews

This car has no rust, Its a southern vehicle. Has a stereo system that has a lot of features on it that works with a smart phone also.

Great Commuter car , best car for the money , Nice design Good for another 100k miles Great Gas mileage , HOV lane Reliable and roomy

The car was great on gas. It was comfortable to drive and fit well in parking spaces. Overall, this type of car is generally a good buy. A great commuter car. Toyota's tend to last longer and be less expensive to fix too. When buying this year, you may want to check to see how old the battery is. They can be expensive to fix, but there are shops that fix the battery for a lot less than buying a new one.

Car has been a reliable commuter car for over a decade. Still getting good mileage, burns a little oil. Fingers crossed I get more years out of it!

I’ve owned five Prius’ from 2005 through 2010 and would recommend all of them. My first 2005 had almost 300,000 miles before someone hit me and totaled it. I’ve never had issues with the hybrid battery. Very easy to maintain. All of them average between 40 and 47 miles per gallon and I’m kind of a leadfoot. These cars have a lot more space inside than you would think. With the hatchback I can get 9 full size coolers laying down flat with the fold down rear seats + 1 in the passenger seat. I used mine for deliveries and put about 60,000 miles per year on each one. With the new technology you do not have to replace the entire hybrid battery anymore if it fails. Now they can test the individual cell packs in the battery and just replace it with a new or used pack. That saves you a ton of money. Great car for a student. I would recommend getting one with the Smartkey. That way the keys never leave your pocket or purse to start or enter the vehicle.

This car has never let me down over the five years that I have owned it. It currently has 205000 miles and it's still going strong.

This car has met all of my needs. If i wasn't moving abroad I would keep it in a heartbeat. Every time i fill it up at the pump my wallet isn't empty. New SMOG and registration so it's ready to go. This car would be great for a first time driver.

This car meet all of my needs and it has spacious interior along with spacious cargo area and it is real gas saver. It got plenty of power for its size.

I love this car. I especially like the hatch back. You wouldn't believe the amount of cargo I've been able to fit and carry with the fold down seats. It goes w/o saying the gas mileage is great. My car has 271,000 miles on it and is still going strong. I'm the original owner.

This car served me very well as a commuter and business car for over 10 years. Now that I?m retired, it still is great for everyday errands and vacation trips. The only major expense was the replacement of the battery pack (which I knew was expected) after about 160,000 miles. I?ve enjoyed this car very much and if it ever wears out, I?ll probably buy another Prius.
