2006 Toyota Prius consumer reviews

Honestly did not anticipate just how much I would love this car! It drives well for its age and the interior is still in great shape. There is a little bit of rust on it, but that's to be anticipated when living closer to Lake Michigan.

This is the greater car. I don’t know why someone would get any car other than a prius, they’re so sturdy, they’re cute, they’re environmentally friendly, and gas mileage is amazing.

Great looking car that's easy to drive and gets the job done. I'm glad I got it, style and comfort are a hard match, but performance too makes it a done deal.

We owned a 2006 Prius for 7 years and so far it is the best car we ever had. Very reliable, no major issues and of course a gas saver. On average we got 48mpg over the lifetime we had it. It also has plenty of room. When you fold down the back seats there is 7ft by 3.5 storage area which is plenty for a car this size. All in all I can highly recommend the Prius 2 if you consider buying a used one.

I simply can't say enough about this car. This is the simple man's beast. Great fuel economy and easy to repair, even the hybrid battery is easy to repair. One of the most reliable car and certainly the best performance for the money.

This car met all my needs. Plenty of leg room, plenty of room in general. Gas saver, great for commuting also. Overall, just great car to own

After all these years, I still have the Prius — comfortable, great gas mileage and a joy to drive. So far, the maintenance on it is not out of the world!

Great vehicle, plenty of legroom, crazy good gas mileage, surprisingly quick off the line, never failed me. There is an impressive amount of storage space throughout the vehicle and hidden cup holders everywhere.

My wife bought this brand new and it's now 12 years old with 128,000 miles on it. It's been a maintenance dream, needing nothing more than oil changes, tires, and a couple warranty items (the hybrid battery went bad at 85,000 miles and was replaced under warranty). With the fold down seats and the hatch back, it can carry a ton. We use it as we would a pickup truck. It's incredibly useful. The downsides are mediocre quality of interior pieces (the dash panels don't line up very well), the ride quality is a little harsh, and it takes some work to stay on top of the rattles that develop. Overall, it's a wonderful value because it's so reliable and efficient. Anyone that asks for an affordable, reliable car, would be wise to consider one of these.

I purchased this car yesterday and I'm happy that I did. The car is responsive, and well taken care of by the previous owner. Very quiet, I hardly knew the motor was even running.
