Amazing Gas Mileage!

This is the most reliable car I've ever owned. On top of that the greatest gas mileage I've ever seen. With this car having a white exterior the minor hail damage is virtually a noticeable till you get right up next to it.

paid for itself

Probably paid too much for it in 2012 (just over 10k and it was over 6 yrs. old). However, the difference in what I was paying for gas before and after more than made the payments. Yes, I had to replace the battery pack. It wasn't til 2016 and well over 200k miles and I got a little price break from the dealer. All the actual repairs for this car were less than $2000. This car was used extensively as transportation (for 2) with frequent trips though the mountains over 400 miles round trip as well as for actual work where I drive short trips all day.

Great mileage, great reliability

This car got up to 55 mpg and saved me a ton of money and headache for the 5 years I owned it. 140,000 miles and the only thing that made me get rid of it was a mechanical issue caused by Jiffy Lube that I couldn't afford to fix - total fluke.

Loved this car

Yes even a Prius at least 10 years old is a great car. I want to buy another Prius right away. Loved this car. Had 134,000 miles and was going very strong. Had an accident with it and had to lose the vehicle. Wish I had another. Highly recommend the Prius. Amazing gas mileage great feeling car ultra quiet.

Nice Car, Slow but Efficient

This is definitely a good car if you want fuel efficiency. If you're looking for speed and horsepower- not so much. Hard to go over 30 up hills, but I love my Prius regardless.
